Jeanine Pirro melts down at judge for 'antipathy toward Trump': 'Untethered to the law!'

Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, unloaded Friday on U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg after he torpedoed an investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell by quashing a subpoena.

In his ruling on Friday, Boasberg argued that a "mountain of evidence suggests" the subpoena was intended to pressure the Fed into cutting interest rates, a long-standing demand from President Donald Trump.

It didn't take long for Pirro to blast Boasberg in a press conference following the ruling.

"Now enter local district court judge James Boasberg, whose written decision on its face makes clear his antipathy toward President Trump and this administration," Pirro ranted. "He quashes both subpoenas, thereby prohibiting us from reviewing any records and precluding us from submitting records to the grand jury."

"Ladies and gentlemen, no one is above the law. But for the first time, a judge is ruling that a grand jury subpoena, on its face, legal in all regards, can be ignored because a judge thinks the subject is beyond reproach," she continued. "This is a decision that is untethered to the law. It creates chaos where any defendant who wishes to evade an investigation, guilty or not, can allege I'm a victim, I'm being targeted, and therefore you cannot investigate me."
