Watchdog files bar complaint against Pirro over efforts to indict Democrats for video urging troops to resist illegal orders

A legal watchdog has filed a formal bar complaint against U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, alleging professional misconduct regarding her efforts to indict six Democratic lawmakers. The complaint centers on a video produced by the lawmakers, which discussed the right of military personnel to refuse illegal orders. The watchdog contends that Pirro’s actions in pursuing these charges violated established legal standards and constituted an abuse of prosecutorial authority.

The organization behind the filing asserts that the attempted indictments were politically motivated, targeting perceived opponents of President Donald Trump. The complaint seeks a review of Pirro’s conduct, arguing that the pursuit of these charges lacked a legitimate legal basis and represented an improper use of the office’s prosecutorial powers.
