Is Jeanine Pirro drunk?

She is at the podium right now. I am watching MSNOW...but she is also on CNN.

She is pissed that Boasberg blocked the subpoenas they (DC US Atty) were trying to impose on Fed Chair Powell.

She was incredibly angry in her speech. She is being nasty to reporters.

And btw, the Judge told them not to appeal. She said we're appealing.

She is calling Boasberg an activist Judge.

Wilbur Daigh Mills and the "performance artist" known as Fanne Foxe. To be fair "Fanne" did go on about 10 years later to go to college and do quite well with a Master's in Marine Science and also a degree in Business Administration.

Wilbur did alright too at a big shot law firm.

Here's a pic of Wilbur and Fanne in their "prime".

...didn't hear any slurring or stumbling.

I understand Judge Boasberg was appointed by Bush I, then elevated to his present spot by Obama.

And I think I heard recently that this whole "$1 billion cost overrun" bullshit was totally made-up by Trump just to try and pressure Powell. Talk about weaponizing the Justice Department.

Pirro lost it during this press conference. I also believe that Piro may have been a little drunk

Jeanine Pirro, United States attorney for the District of Columbia, lost her temper after a reporter confronted her over her low conviction rate in the district.

Jeanine Pirro, United States attorney for the District of Columbia, lost her temper after a reporter confronted her over her low conviction rate in the district.

At a press conference on Friday, Pirro unloaded angry remarks at U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg after he quashed two subpoenas because he said they were designed to force the Fed to cut interest rates, a public demand of President Donald Trump.

One reporter asked Pirro about her historically low conviction rate following her remarks.

"Oh, cut it out," the U.S. attorney snapped loudly. "Do you know how many convictions we've got? Cut it out? We have cleaned up this city."

"You're historic," the reporter noted....

"That's what's historic! I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill because I'll take all the crimes and put them in."

With respect to the decision on the motion to quash, it is silent with respect to the government appealing or not appealing.
With respect to the related decision to unseal the pleadings, the judge expressly stayed the order in order to allow the government to appeal.

Interesting. I thought I heard that he told them not to appeal. Maybe I was confusing it with Thom Tillis telling the govt not to appeal because it would hold up the confirmation process of the new Fed Gov.

Jeanine Pirro's 'extraordinary temper tantrum' floors CNN legal expert

Raw Story (@rawstory.com) 2026-03-14T00:30:14.661Z

https://www.rawstory.com/jeanine-pirro-public-temper-tantrum/

Former federal prosecutor and CNN legal expert Elie Honig reacted Friday to comments from Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, who was furious during an impromptu press conference following a major legal blow to the Trump administration.

Honig described the legal impact after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg granted the order, agreeing with the Fed that Trump's repeated attacks on Fed chair Jerome Powell indicate the investigation into the Federal Reserve's building renovation was pretextual and politically motivated.

"So first of all, that press conference in itself was extraordinary," Honig said. "Ordinarily, whenever you see a U.S. Attorney call a press conference and address the cameras, it's because there's been an indictment or a conviction or a sentence. I don't think I've ever seen a U.S. attorney or an attorney general call a press conference to complain about a ruling that he or she did not like. That was essentially a public temper tantrum."

Honig also fact-checked some of what Pirro said during the unusual press conference.

"You heard Jeanine Pirro say that this judge, Judge Boasberg, is a quote 'activist judge,''" Honig said. "This judge was elevated to the district court by Barack Obama. But before that, he was put on the local D.C. Superior Court by George W. Bush. And in this judge's past, he has actually denied a motion years ago to try to get Donald Trump's tax returns. He ruled in favor of Donald Trump on those tax returns. And then finally, most fundamentally, we just heard Jeanine Pirro complain that the grand jury subpoena is an important tool of prosecutors, which it is. You heard Jeanine Pirro say that the judge 'has taken that tool away from us.' That's not quite right."
