President Donald Trump's DOJ got a tongue-lashing on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" on Thursday as anchor Nicolle Wallace dismantled their botched efforts to criminally prosecute Democratic lawmakers.

"We saw it this week with the Department of Justice, when they were handed a resounding defeat by a grand jury, when Jeanine Pirro's office tried and failed to indict six Democratic lawmakers who simply released a video, 90 seconds, urging the men and women of the military to refuse any illegal orders."
