Jeanine Pirro's meltdown accuses judge of 'allegiance to those who violate the law'

Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, lashed out at Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui after he blasted her office for "too many misfires."

In a hearing on Thursday, Faruqui said that the country was "past the point of constitutional crisis" as the government said it would drop the case against a man accused of threatening the life of President Donald Trump.

Grand juries have declined to return indictments sought by Pirro at least nine times since Trump ordered a federal takeover of policing in Washington, D.C.

"What's to prevent people from just getting rounded up off the streets?" the judge said. "These are people with names and rights!"

Pirro responded by posting a rant on Twitter that did not address Faruqui's complaints.

"Let me tell you about this Judge Faruqui," she wrote. "This is a judge who by his own words is trying to justify felons illegally carrying firearms in one of the most violent cities in America."

"He has repeatedly indicated his allegiance to those who violate the law and carry illegal guns, justifying the possession of these guns and constantly pushing for the release of these dangerous criminals back into our communities," she continued. "This judge took an oath to follow the law, yet he has allowed his politics to consistently cloud his judgment and his requirement to follow the law. America voted for safe communities, law and order, and this judge is the antithesis of that."
