President Donald Trump's Department of Justice floored a former federal prosecutor after a grand jury witness blew up one of its signature cases. On Monday, reports revealed that a grand jury witness admitted the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was damaged before the prosecution of David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist who was arrested and charged with felony damage to property after he touched some of the peeling paint in the pool.

Hearn's lawyers slammed the indictment in a letter on Tuesday, arguing that the Trump DOJ prosecutors acted improperly. Those claims caught the ear of former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner. He argued in a new podcast that the case seemed destined to go the same way as the prosecutions against former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and the Broadview Six, all of which were dismissed by judges for prosecutorial misconduct. "You may find this shocking, but Donald Trump's dirty DOJ officials, including Jeanine Pirro, may have again been involved in prosecutorial misconduct," Kirschner said. "Here they go again!" he added.
