Jury refuses to indict Sandwich Man and other Trump cop misadventures

"On Tuesday, a federal grand jury refused to indict a former Justice Department employee who threw a sandwich at a federal law enforcement agent in an incident this month that went viral on social media, according to two people with knowledge of the case who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss it publicly. Prosecutors had sought to charge Sean Charles Dunn with a felony count of assaulting, resisting or impeding a federal officer...

Before prosecutors failed to indict Dunn, a grand jury on three separate occasions this month refused to indict a D.C. woman who was accused of assaulting an FBI agent, another extraordinary rejection of the prosecution’s case. Days later, a federal magistrate judge said an arrest in Northeast Washington was preceded by the “most illegal search I’ve seen in my life” and described another arrest as lacking “basic human dignity.”

While judges are known to criticize prosecutors from time to time, grand jurors only in rare cases refuse to issue an indictment, which requires them to find only probable cause that a crime was committed, the lowest evidentiary bar in criminal cases."

This is great news, its just a sandwich and arresting him was political, since militarized patrolling of the city was political. They wanted to throw the book at a rightfully angry citizen.

It won't be reported on RW media.

"The rejection of the felony charge is unusual, especially in a well-documented case, and is seen by some as a sign of skepticism by Washington residents on the grand jury toward the aggressive posture from the Trump administration in the city."

Oh, I remember. They rolled in to arrest a Millenial gay man living in the West End who threw a Subway sandwich like they were Seal Team 6 taking down Bin Laden. Ludicrous.

You can indict a ham sandwich, but not the man who throws one.

Multiple current senior officials from DOJ were at January 6th. None of this matters anymore. Law enforcement are suckers, they got rolled by Trump.
