Judge Jeanine Goes on Record About Trump: 'This Guy Was Framed'
Judge Jeanine Pirro has been an ardent defender of President Donald Trump during the tumult of his administration.
And there’s a good reason for that, according to her — she thinks he’s being “framed.”
In an interview Sunday on business magnate John Catsimatidis’ radio show on WNYM-AM, the Fox News host blamed the opposition for trying to obstruct the Trump administration with manufactured controversy.
“Nobody is looking at the corruption. It’s all one-sided, the corruption on the part of the Democrats,” Pirro said, according to The Hill.
Listen to the interview here. Pirro’s declaration comes about the 4-minute mark.
“This president was framed,” Pirro said. “It’s that simple.”
And she wasn’t throwing that word around lightly, either.
“The crisscrossing and the incestuous nature of our government in an attempt to prevent the outsider president that we wanted from getting elected is frightening,” she said.
Pirro also reiterated the argument she’d made on her Fox News show Saturday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been gutless in his role as the nation’s top law enforcement agent.
“That guy (Jeff) Sessions, he has no prosecutorial balls. It’s as simple as that,” Pirro said.
“He’s hiding in the corner. I don’t know what he’s doing.”
On “Justice with Judge Jeanine” a day earlier, Pirro had challenged the attorney general to either “resign immediately, because you’re not wanted, or put on your big boy pants and be a real attorney general.”
“No one elected you, Jeff, petitioned to make sure you got the job,” she said on her show.
“You’re certainly not entitled to the job. You groveled and begged for the job and out of loyalty (President Trump) gave it to you. You are so clueless. You don’t even know you are being used. You don’t even know you are nothing but a shill.
“In fact, the only constituency that wants you is the deep state that needs someone to protect their flank from investigation.”
The move to get rid of Sessions has gained steam in recent weeks. Even one of the attorney general’s biggest defenders on Capitol Hill, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, has indicated he wouldn’t be averse to seeing Sessions go.
“We need an attorney general that can work with the president, that can lead the Department of Justice. This relationship is beyond repair, I think,” he told NBC last week.
If President Trump is indeed being “framed,” and the attorney general is standing by letting it happen, then yes, one would say it is.
Either way, Judge Jeanine isn’t mincing words, and a lot of people are thinking exactly what she is.
