DC Grand Jury Declines to Indict DOJ Lawyer Charged For Throwing Sandwich at Federal Agents

A DC grand jury declined to indict the DOJ lawyer charged for throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in DC.

A man in a salmon-colored t-shirt was caught on video throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in DC earlier this week after President Trump deployed the National Guard to patrol the streets.

The sandwich thrower was identified as 37-year-old Sean Charles Dunn, a DOJ trial attorney.

A DC grand jury refused to indict Dunn.

CNBC reported:

Federal prosecutors failed to obtain a grand jury indictment against a former Department of Justice employee who allegedly hurled a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer who President Donald Trump had deployed in Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. has sought to charge the man, Sean Charles Dunn, with felony assault of an officer for the Aug. 10 sub-chucking incident, which was caught on video. The DOJ fired Dunn after his arrest.

NBC News reported Wednesday that two people familiar with the matter said that a grand jury failed to indict Dunn in the case, which was heavily touted by Trump administration law-enforcement officials.

It is not clear if prosecutors will try again to obtain an indictment of Dunn or lodge another charging instrument against him, known as an “information.”

“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony. This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ. You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, also said the man arrested for throwing the sandwich at agents was a DOJ contractor and has been immediately fired.

“The man in the salmon colored shirt with the effete gesture there of throwing a Subway sandwich is, was a DOJ contractor. He is no longer,” Harmeet Dhillon said on the Benny Johnson show.

You can indict a ham sandwich. Just not the one throwing it.

Why would this require a grand jury?

When you post on FR sometimes there’s latency bounce as the message gets processed through the NSA servers resulting in double and triple posts.

with felony assault of an officer

There's the problem ... they over-charged, and got their asses handed to them. Charge him with misdemeanor assault and battery, and I bet you can get a conviction and put him in the lock-up for a few months.

Juries suck almost as bad as shyster lawyers and worthless judges. This country’s judiciary is a friggin’ joke.

Thugs can throw acid at someone’s face and disfigure them permanently.

They can throw fireworks and cause serious burns and other injuries.

They can throw a frozen plastic bottle at someone’s head.

They can throw a glass bottle or a brick at someone.

Not a lawyer, but I believe a Grand Jury is required in Federal cases. In any case, he lost his job and he did get the ride. Even loss of blood might not move a DC grand jury to indict, let alone a DC jury to acquit any anti-Trump act.

Those things warrant a felony charge. Throwing a sandwich does not. Even that crap that “Subway” produces and has the temerity to call “food”. And I don’t care that the victim was a public servant.

Yeah about idiots in DC, but overcharging is a thing too.

Felony assault with a sub? Sounds more like disorderly conduct or some similar offense.

Of course, the sub undoubtedly ended up on the ground, so maybe felony littering?

These jerk “juries” are the reason DC is a septic tank full of criminal floaters.

That's why in the Mar A Lago Jack Smith was trying to get the case moved to DC.

I mean, the 'guy' was on film chucking and hittimg the officer with the sub.

I’ll bet if someone hit one of the friggin jurors with a sandwich, we’d be seeing a trial.
