You could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, the saying goes, but, in Washington, a federal grand jury just declined to indict a man for throwing a salami sub.
The grand jury did not return an indictment against a former Justice Department employee who was seen on camera throwing a hoagie at the chest of one of the federal officers President Donald Trump has deployed in the nation's capital, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The grand jury's decision not to indict Sean Dunn is another sign of pushback from Washington, D.C., residents over Trump's deployment of the National Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies in the city, who have put a particular focus on immigration enforcement. The New York Times was first to report the news.

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville totally lost it over the Minnesota Vikings adding a male cheerleader to their cheer-leading squad. He claimed that this was something that, while you might expect this from a socialistic Northern 'woke' Blue state like Minnesota, that you'd never see this taking place anywhere in the South.
Tuberville should have done a Google search before he went off on that rant during a recent podcast, as he would have learned that the New Orleans Saints, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Tennessee Titans have all had male cheerleaders for some time.
President Donald Trump detoured from touting his tariff-based economic policies to make a plainly racist claim about migrant laborers during his Tuesday morning appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Echoing the bigotry of centuries past, the president claimed that migrants are uniquely suited to physically strenuous farm work, asserting that it comes "naturally" to them.
"We're taking care of our farmers. We can't let our farmers not have anybody. ... These people, you can't replace them very easily," Trump said on CNBC. "These people do it naturally " naturally," he said of the migrant laborers. Trump then recalled asking a farmer what happens to such workers if "they get a bad back." "He said, They don't get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die.'"
US immigration officers made false and misleading statements in their reports about several Los Angeles protesters they arrested during the massive demonstrations that rocked the city in June, according to federal law enforcement files obtained by the Guardian
The officers' testimony was cited in at least five cases filed by the US Department of Justice amid the unrest. The justice department has charged at least 26 people with "assaulting" and "impeding" federal officers and other crimes during the protests over immigration raids. Prosecutors, however, have since been forced to dismiss at least eight of those felonies, many of them which relied on officers' inaccurate reports, court records show.
The justice department has also dismissed at least three felony assault cases it brought against Angelenos accused of interfering with arrests during recent immigration raids, the documents show.

Were you ever in the service, or more specifically, the Army? Have you ever heard of 'route step'? It's a manner of marching which while the organization of the ranks are maintained, the members are not expected to march in cadence. This is the way you march if you're having to go a long distance, as was the case during the parade in June. I suspect that Trump was expecting something along the lines of what you'd see in Red Square or in North Korea, and perhaps even from some old newsreels of Germany troops marching into Paris during WWII.
And for the record; I was in the Army and I did my share of marching, so I know of what I speak.
