‘We Have Gone Over a Cliff Here’: Judge Jeanine Loses It Over Testimony of ‘Hooker’ and ‘Serial Perjurer’ Convicting Trump
Jeanine Pirro inveighed against the conviction of former President Donald Trump in a furious rant on Thursday evening, expressing her disbelief that the testimony of a “hooker” and “serial perjurer” — presumably references to porn star Stormy Daniels and convicted felon Michael Cohen — resulted in the guilty verdict.
Asked if she believed the verdict would help or hurt Trump in November’s general election, Pirro replied “I don’t have the answer to that question,” before launching into her condemnation of the trial and its outcome.
“I want to believe that Americans believe in justice. And I think that in their gut, they realize that there is something that is very wrong here. We have gone over a cliff in America. This verdict is a verdict of someone who was forced to fight a 1,000 pound gorilla with both hands tied behind his back,” she began. “This was a defendant for whom crimes were created, against whom a judge was picked. Out of the ordinary, not from the drum, but a judge who was handpicked for this defendant, who denied him the ability to fight the way he needed to fight, who brought in crimes that we’ve never heard of in New York before. Where they had dead misdemeanors that they resurrected into felonies based upon non-unanimous verdicts of crimes that are federal over which no state court or no state judge or prosecutor has jurisdiction.”
She continued:
And in the end, with all the smoke and mirrors and 34 counts and a hooker and a guy, according to a federal judge, is a serial perjurer, we have convicted a former president of the United States of America. We’ve gone over a cliff. The question is to whether or not America will react to this, whether his numbers will go up or down. I don’t know, but I do know what I know. And what I know is that this case is riddled with errors. It is reversible. It will not get through to the Appellate Division and the first department in New York, or certainly the Court of Appeals before the next year. And people say it should have go to the Supreme Court. No, it can’t go to the Supreme Court unless they exhaust all of the state court appeals. I have spent 32 years in this system and I am totally disillusioned. You had a judge and you had a D.A. who literally campaigned on making sure that this president would be indicted. We’ve got an attorney general who did the same thing. This is a new era in America, and I think it goes against the ilk of who we are as Americans and our faith in the criminal justice system.
