Nick Hilden reports:
This is another in a growing string of defeats for Pirro since being appointed US Attorney by Trump one year ago. She failed to indict six Democratic lawmakers who made a video urging members of the military to refuse illegal orders. Her cases against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were thrown out. She was unable to secure charges against a man accused of assaulting federal agents with a sandwich. And the list goes on.
What links all of these targets is the blatant political motivation for leveling prosecution against them.
As former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori wrote, “It is now clear that Pirro…is willing to use her power to try to intimidate and punish Trump’s political opponents — even if that means degrading
- herself
- the office and
- DOJ, and
- wasting taxpayers’ money
all at the same time.”
According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of 'blabbermouth', as in a person who talks too much, occurred in 1868.
Other coinages from the same year include:
- ballyhoo
- bounty hunter
- dead-end
- grind out
- high-strung
- insistent
- meshuga
- unenforceable
