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.”
This is why one of their major targets is due process.
So is the sandwich okay?
It was long, but the meating went well.
HA!
It was shot 36 times from close range and sent to El Salvador.
For a-salt and buttery.
Federal Prosecutors used Felony Indictment against sandwich tosser.
It’s not very effective…
Good.
Its almost as if the majority of us have decided the current trumpism is wrong. Almost.
The grand jury 🥲
In semi-related news, the DC spitter had charges reduced to misdemeanors after 3 different grand juries returned no true bill. In federal court, there is a 30 day deadline after arrest to secure an indictment or your felony charges get dismissed.
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.

Well. I wouldn’t expect much from career alcoholics.
8 years for spitting on a fed?!
For some reason I thought that a sandwich thrower is a device, like a sandwich maker.
Hoagie Cannon
Talk about a hole in one.
