“We wasted no time,” Pirro said in her video. “The thing came from Mars. Everybody says they own it. Customs has no record of it ever coming into the United States. So guess what? The United States government owns it now. So eat that all you guys who tried to do a corrupt deal.”

You don't beat corruption by being the most corrupt. My full opinions are not printable on a family website.

If anything, given how poorly the US Attorney for DC has flubbed previous investigations, this is more of a waste of resources for litigation rather than a credible threat to seizing and maintaining control over the meteorite.
