Pirro Taps Dance Photographer-Lawyer in Lawmaker Video Case (1)

Steven Vandervelden —who had a long career as a local prosecutor in Westchester County, NY, where Pirro was district attorney — had no prior DOJ background before joining the office last year.

Washington’s US Attorney Jeanine Pirro tapped a dance photographer who worked for her decades ago as one of the prosecutors who tried—and failed—to convince a grand jury to indict six Democratic lawmakers Tuesday, said two people familiar with the situation.

Steven Vandervelden maintained an active photography studio when presenting federal charges to the grand jury against the six members of Congress for creating a video reminding military service members of their rights to refuse unlawful orders.

He’s one of two Pirro hires with minimal federal prosecution experience who got rejected by the grand jury in a case that’s been widely criticized as a politically-motivated attack on free speech.

Saying that Pirro is scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and build her prosecutorial teams is underselling it.

Dance Photographer, Esq. may just be cannon fodder to save Pirro's license.

A lot of folks have gotten their dumb asses disbarred.
