Bondi Fails to Secure Indictment Against Sandwich Guy

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to persuade a grand jury to approve a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Comments

More: The grand jury's rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors assigned to bring charges against people arrested after President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to fight crime and patrol the city's streets.

The rejection by grand jurors was particularly noteworthy given the attention paid to the case of the man who threw the sandwich, Sean C. Dunn. Video of the episode went viral on social media, senior officials talked about the case, and the administration posted footage of a large group of heavily armed law enforcement officers going to Mr. Dunn's apartment.

It remained unclear if prosecutors planned to try again to obtain an indictment against Mr. Dunn, 37, a former Justice Department paralegal. They could also forgo seeking felony charges and refile his case as a misdemeanor, which does not require an indictment to move forward.

Gives me a little hope to see normal Americans not playing along with the administration's power grab BS.

Republicans were demanding he be sent to Gulag.

Republicans still think they're winning right now.

This is what happens when you put partisan hacks like Jeanine Pirro and Kash Patel in positions of authority. They don't care about the law or justice. They are embarrassments to everyone except the cult members.

Hit a cop with a sandwich....DOJ seeks indictment.

Hit a cop with a flag pole, gouge their eyes, crack open their skulls, taze them into cardiac arrest, spray with bear repellant.... Pardons all around.
