US Attorney Jeanine Pirro backs Trump's DC takeover threat and demand for lower prosecution age limit

2025-08-08

[NYPOST] US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in an interview Wednesday that she supports President Trump's threat to federalize Washington, DC, if local officials don't crack down on youth crime — arguing that juvenile delinquents are ''coddled'' in cities run by Democrats

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
.

Pirro, the top prosecutor in the nation's capital, fumed that she's not allowed to charge minors accused of ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful crimes and backed Trump's push to lower the age of legal accountability to as young as 14, in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
Jeanine Pirro listening to Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...

Pirro noted that youth crime is on the rise in DC and fumed that she is unable to prosecute most minor offenders. AP

''I support him totally,'' Pirro said of Trump's warning Tuesday that he would bring the District of Columbia under federal control if laws aren't changed to prosecute minors as adults. ''If that's what we need to do to get it done, that's what he should do. And I support the president.''

''He's the only one coming here saying, 'I want to make [DC] safe and beautiful.' I haven't heard anyone say that besides him,'' Pirro added.

During her appearance on ''The Ingraham Angle,'' the former Fox News host and New York district attorney noted that she spoke to Trump on Tuesday — when he issued the takeover threat — and explained the situation in DC.

#7 ...the very idea of juvenile hall, juvy as some called it, was enough to keep us in line.+

Plus our moms would have skinned us alive after.

#6 Of course in those days, if I got into trouble outside the home, I'd be in even more trouble when I got home.

#5 I remember when I was a youth the very idea of juvenile hall, juvy as some called it, was enough to keep us in line.

#4 The Dems and Rinos balked at a guy who was ambitious but had no national profile. Dumb.

Remember, the Democrats were pushing for the 16 y/o voter age, a few years back.

So Old enough to vote, old enough to be sentenced as an adult.
