A meltdown by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro over being blocked by Judge James Boasberg in her attempt to subpoena the Federal Reserve as she pursues Chair Jerome Powell is setting up a possible showdown in the Supreme Court — which will not go well, according to a former prosecutor.

Appearing on MS NOW Monday, former Palm Beach County state attorney Dave Aronberg claimed Pirro has every intention of running to the nation’s highest court for relief.

But he warned it will not be forthcoming.

On Friday, a furious Pirro shouted at reporters, “By inserting himself and preventing the grand jury from even obtaining — let alone hearing evidence — he [Boasberg] has neutered the grand jury's ability to investigate crime.”

According to Aronberg, Pirro’s saber-rattling combined with Donald Trump’s attacks on Powell on social media will make it hard for the DOJ to get a sign-off to proceed from the nation’s highest court.

“Trump was literally hoisted with his own petard, to use a Shakespeare reference, especially because yesterday was the ides of March,” Aronberg told the hosts.....

But in that tariff ruling recently, Chief Justice Roberts seemed like he's lost some patience with Trump, and he didn't give the president anywhere near the deference he gave him in the immunity ruling,” he went on. “And so, I think, this ruling will hold up on appeal, especially because you've seen other rulings by the Supreme Court that show that they put the Fed in a unique place, a special bubble that protects them.
