It remains unclear how exactly that push will play out, given it effectively pits the department against itself.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIf there are charges brought against [Hearn] again, I mean, would you use [U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia] Jeanine Pirro\u2019s filing to fight those charges?\u201d Collins asked Norm Eisen, one of the lawyers who represented the ex-Olympian, David Hearn, during a Tuesday night segment of her show. \u201cWouldn\u2019t that be the word of the DOJ versus the DOJ?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Eisen, who previously worked as special counsel under the Obama administration, agreed. \u201cIt\u2019s so unbelievable,\u201d he said, laughing. \u201cThey said in that filing that there was no evidence beyond a reasonable doubt because the damage was caused by a botched and rushed installation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president, 80, charged ahead with a vainglorious refurb of the D.C. landmark earlier this year as he seeks to remake the nation\u2019s capital in his own image. It did not go well. A total of $16.4 million in no-bid deals for the Reflecting Pool\u2019s \u201cAmerican flag blue\u201d refit went to one company that had never held a federal contract before and another owned by a Trump donor and twice-convicted felon. For weeks, the work left the landmark\u2019s waters a hideous algal green. <\/p>\n<p>Never one to cop to a bad move, Trump blamed anyone but himself for the unexpected shift in color scheme. He chalked up the algal bloom and chunks of the liner that had floated to the water\u2019s surface to damage caused by vandals. His Justice Department goons quickly brought criminal charges against Hearn, 67, accusing the former canoeist of tearing up the pool lining.<\/p>\n<p>That prosecution went about as well as the refurb. Hearn pleaded not guilty on July 9 to \u201cforcefully and violently\u201d ripping up parts of the pool floor, prompting Pirro to actually go and look at the site herself. Three weeks after that, her office was suddenly back in court arguing the damage had in fact been caused by \u201ca rushed and botched installation\u201d by Trump\u2019s contractors on behalf of the Department of the Interior. The judge tossed the case on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5429\">Carville Reveals Trump\u2019s Deepening Personal Disaster<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The president has not taken it well. He said Pirro \u201cfolded like an umbrella,\u201d then that she \u201cchoked because the judge was really vicious.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Eisen was clear on Tuesday night just how spectacularly hard Trump\u2019s prosecutors would have to work to get a court to allow them to take another run at the ex-athlete. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe very first thing that the judge, if charges are brought again, [will say] is the words of the U.S. attorney\u2019s office blaming the Department of the Interior,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the outrageousness of it, it won\u2019t stand in a court of law if it comes back, and I assume the reason we read about it today in The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere is because people in the DOJ are as horrified as I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House, the Justice Department, and the Department of the Interior for comment on this story. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A DOJ spokesperson said it \u201cfollows the evidence when determining if crimes have been committed.
