Of all Donald Trump’s FOX News supporters, none may be stauncher than Jeanine Pirro. That support of the president offers her special access to advise Trump. As White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly is often tasked with keeping the presidents worst instincts at bay. According to Newsweek, Kelly snapped at Pirro during a meeting which they had with Trump.


The reproach occurred after Pirro encouraged the president to “get the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Uranium One deal to which his 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is connected.”

Kelly responded to Pirro’s encouragement by reportedly telling her she was, “inflaming an already vexed” Trump. Kelly, fearful of the consequences of using the Justice Department to punish enemies, was able to shut down the idea.

It turns out that Kelly was not the only adviser trying to prevent Trump from calling for investigations into opponents. The president’s lawyer, Don McGahn also tried to show Trump how those actions could be viewed.

To outline his point, “Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.”.................................................

5. Uranium One is one step above pizzagate in terms of

dopey reich-wing conspiracy theories. These people are morons. Every last one of them.

PS - John Kelly wants to be seen as the adult in the room, but he'll always be a racist baby kidnapping POS to me.

6. I was about to comment similarly about conspiracy theories.

It's weird they want to investigate shit that's been debunked by Snopes for months.

Sadly, I think "racist baby kidnapping POS" is about the closest thing we'll have to "adult in the room" any more.

7. How much access are they giving Pirro to DT?

8. She was recently on The View

and got into an argument with the hosts, called them c***suckers in front of the audience, and was ordered out of the building by Whoopi Goldberg.

Pirro is a psychopath and a liar, just like her friend Donald.

9. Trump would love to see Jeanine Pirro

on the Supreme Court.
