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."

I've read the decision. It's great. But I don't see the judge telling the government not to appeal.
