WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors have failed to obtain a felony indictment against a man who was seen on camera hurling a sandwich at a federal law enforcement official in the nation’s capital, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Sean Charles Dunn was arrested on an assault charge after he threw a sub-style sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent. A video of the incident went viral, and shortly after he was fired from the Justice Department, where he worked as an international affairs specialist in the department’s criminal division.
The case is one of the examples of the legal pushback to President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington that has led to more than 1,000 arrests. It is highly unusual for grand jurors to refuse to return an indictment, and it was once said that prosecutors could persuade a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.”
Well. I wouldn’t expect much from career alcoholics.
Its almost as if the majority of us have decided the current trumpism is wrong. Almost.

if it was a stale baguette french, it can do some real damage.
Which he stole from some random news anchor… Dore hasn’t been funny or relevant in almost a decade now.
1.6 million followers on Youtube seems relevant to me, you shitlib bundle of twigs.
Wow very clever way to get around calling someone a slur genius
He stole the sandwich from a news anchor?
Who’s on first…
Good.
Last time I reacted to this Pirro quote by saying it was indeed very funny:
“He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”
I just want to say, it has gone up a level to “hilarious” now that they can’t even get a grand jury on their side
And there’s that saying that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich… oh the irony.
The Grand Jury were vegans.
That was their mistake, they should have charged the sandwich.
Tbh, like that probably was the error here from Bondi’s team
So is the sandwich okay?
It was shot 36 times from close range and sent to El Salvador.
For a-salt and buttery.
No, of course it’s not. It got on the ground. The story is funny, but it still annoys me a little, man wasted a perfectly good sandwich :(
a perfectly good sandwich
It was from Subway, though.
Ughhh, I change my mind. Throw the pedo sandwiches to your heart’s content. Unless you have to buy them. But then you have to waste actually good sandwiches…
government wasted the expense of court time
Story of Arch Duke Frans Ferdinand’s life.
It was long, but the meating went well.
HA!
We need to start doing a trump hand check. Well maybe, it’ll probably just give us too much hope.
On Tuesday, YouTuber Keith Edwards — a former staffer for the anti-Trump Lincoln Project — posted a side-by-side comparison of Trump’s hand during a Monday event and the hand of the late Queen Elizabeth II during an audience with then-prime minister Liz Truss.
Edwards noted that the photograph of the late Queen with Truss was taken just two days before she passed, ending more than 70 years on the British throne.
You’re playing with my emotions.
Then you get JD Vance, who’s even more in the pocket of right-wing think tanks and billionaires. If there’s a Vance presidency, It’ll pretty much be run by people like Thiel, Yarvin and Ellison.
Until congress fixes the damage done by Citizens United, everything else is just going to be a bandage. Maybe if the FPTP voting system and the electoral college go away, but that’s even harder to do. I don’t think America needs a good or strong president. It needs congress to do its job by reigning in the two other branches that have gone off the rails, but it’s also controlled by openly corrupt right-wing representatives.
Could get weird. I doubt he’ll have nearly as much public support. I think the MAGA crowd are like a cult with a Great Leader. If anyone else tries half the shit Big D pulls they wouldn’t get away with it.
You’re not wrong but that also means he could ride off of, “Help me complete Trump’s legacy,” for a bit and he’s backed by Thiel. That may be all the time they need to move quickly.
I believe that’s an accurate assessment.
This is why one of their major targets is due process.
Fucking maddening how so many Latinos voted for Trump because “they got in the right way”, not realising that they’d end up getting randomly stopped and deported “because they fit the profile”.
It never pays to throw in your lot with white supremicists, they’ll always turn on you.
Counterpoint: fuck them and their ignorance?
I mean…I don’t think you can say they’ll turn on you. That implies they supported you at one point.
White supremicists have ALWAYS been against you, if you’re not also white, male, and a white supremicist.
Just because you support them, does not mean they support you. To modify a George Carlin quote:
“It’s a big club, and you
ain’t in itdon’t want to be in it.”Oh, they’ll turn on you if you’re white, male, and a former wow supremacist, too
They’ll make temporary alliances if it furthers their goals. That’s why they like Israel while they’re actually antisemites, because that way you can go after Muslims more easily.
A big part of it is obviously the dog shit messaging from the Democrats. They don’t want to be seen as critical of the police, so I haven’t seen anyone mention the reality of racist cops conducting traffic stops based on racial profiling leading to the current situation, and the assumption they had of Latinos being one singular voting block that is always in favour of open borders, instead of a whole bunch of different groups from different countries with an immigration background that ranges from recent arrivals to people that have lived in the same place for centuries and have actually had the US illegally annex them.

They like Israel because Revelations says the Jews returning to the Holy Land is a precondition for Armageddon and they think they’re gonna get Raptured. It’s literally a delusional death cult.
That’s only specific to evangelicals, neo-nazis don’t believe that shit. They like Israel because:
- when they finally kick out the Jews, there’s a country they can send them to (in fact, the reason for the holocaust was that the Nazis didn’t have anywhere to send the Jews to, nobody wanted to take them)
- Israel itself is a supremacist state, and they’re happy to have a country that legitimises the ‘one people, one country’ ideology they support
- if all the Jews are in Israel, they’re all in one convenient place when you finally want to get rid of them all
This is going to be framed as liberal juries nullifying just to be mean to poor old President Trump.
You know it! Just wait until SCOTUS makes another special ruling that doesn’t count as precedent in the future so their favorite party isn’t held to the same standard.
I wish someone would
throw a sandwich at meassault me with a sandwich. I’m hungry.The quote: We are willing to indict ICE agents for disturbing the peace and the sandwich itself for public indecency but no one else in this situation did anything indict worthy.
So if they wanted they could charge the sandwich or the ICE officers but because they are Trump’s willful ignorants, they get nothing but shame.
“public safety operation”
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions. Wish we had a real Fourth Estate that would challenge political branding rather than stenograph it.
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions.
Already happening in Gaza
Reuters just did that.
IDF bombed a reuters journalist, but they reported what IDF said as the headline, claiming their target was a Hamas camera… It was their camera.
special public safety operation!
May the sandwich of justice strike again!
Subway…Subhow…
This is all hilarious of course, but that sandwich thrower would probably be dead if he wasn’t white.
You’re right for now. I think they’ll stop caring by Christmas, as long as they oppose the administration, they’re a threat.
“We”
That includes a lot of us here
Prosecutors fail to indict sandwich thrower in Trump’s Washington public safety operation
Besides the good news in the story, can we just take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of the title itself? I love it
