https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jeanine-pirros-office-shelves-pursuit-democrats-social-video-sources-s-rcna259783Jeanine Pirro's office has decided to stop pursuing the case against six Democratic lawmakers who urged members of the military and intelligence communities in a social media video not to comply with unlawful orders, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Roughly two weeks ago, as first reported by NBC News, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, to indict lawmakers over the video, illustrating that grand jurors didnt think the government had passed even the low legal threshold of probable cause required to bring an indictment.
While a potential case against the six lawmakers is now considered dead in Washington, that decision wouldnt necessarily bar a federal prosecutor from trying to bring a case in a different federal court district, though there have been no public indications that will happen.

She once successfully prosecuted the murderer of the child of a friend of mine. She was amazing in the courtroom for that.
It is tragic to see how far she has fallen.
