A judge has told the DOJ the felony charge is excessive

[moniss]

for the sandwich desperado. He also released the man without bond. Basically telling Pirro, Bondi et al to stick the full length of the sub where the sun doesn't shine. By telling them this upfront it lets them know that their felony charge is as good as dead.

[question everything]

1. Great! He throws a sandwich and five goons are running after him as if it were an assault weapon

[Uncle Joe]

12. If the sandwich had bacon that would've qualified it as a club, and this could've been more serious.

[orangecrush]

23. ...

[Wicked Blue]

29. Lettuce be thankful it did not

[appmanga]

30. A salt with a banana pepper? (nt)

[Dr. T]

20. If it would've been an assault rifle

the masked goons would've run away. They're really tough when their prey is a sitting duck. I'm guessing they're gutless cowards when it's a fair fight.

[SunSeeker]

2. Good!

Ridiculous overcharging. The sandwich was wrapped, he didn't even get mayo on the Nazi.

[ImNotGod]

3. Its not over...tRump just deputized all subway employees in the city to serve on special sub chucking patrols

[MichMan]

4. Judge did not throw out the felony charge

Just released him on bond awaiting trial in September. OP is false

[Nittersing]

10. Thank you

[orangecrush]

24. He will

I will be celebrating with a trip to subway.

[NJCher]

5. I was hoping this would happen

Pirro acted like she was drunk when she announced those charges.

[tanyev]

8. I hope SNL brings back Cecily Strong for some guest appearances in the new season.

Her Pirro impression is fantastic.

[The Wizard]

26. She wasn't acting.

[Ocelot II]

27. She always acts like she's drunk, probably because she is.

[tanyev]

6. Wonkette called him an American Gyro.

[H2O Man]

7. Recommended.

I have been telling an old friend about my experience around half a century ago, as a college student. I was charged, and went to court from late February to early June, accused of throwing a slice of pickle on the window in McDonalds. I was found "not guilty," though that was distinct from "innocent."

[Xavier Breath]

9. Something something sandwich pun.

Good to hear.

[Blue Dotty]

14. It's a sandWich hunt.

[popsdenver]

11. Bondi and all these

other Republican Women in trump's Cabal, seemingly always have pictures taken with their mouth's open............

[NJCher]

15. you've noticed that, too

the worst of all is Marla Maples and her daughter is the same. I've actually searched and found only two photos of her with her mouth shut. Otherwise, it's just hanging open and I'm like "what?"

I find it extremely weird.

[popsdenver]

31. It's their "dog whistle"

to let Trump know: any time any place.........

[NJCher]

32. Ewwwwww

Nothing else needs to be said.

[Greg_In_SF]

13. Still going to trial

and still got fired.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

19. If they're able to indict him...

...which I doubt.

But yep, lost his job...not the smartest move.

[Warpy]

16. Great bodily harm? More like a dry cleaner's bill

which is all any of us would be able to claim as damages if somebody launched food at us.

[MichMan]

21. Pretty sure if I got pulled over for speeding & hurled food at the cop, I would be facing more than a dry cleaning bill.

[orangecrush]

25. He will be pardoned

By the Gavin Newsom after Trump is removed.

28. Great bodily harm?

Isn't filing a false police report an indictable offense?

[SouthBayDem]

17. So the jury could NOT convict a ham sandwich.

And the suspect a DOJ employee? Anyone else suspect, “crisis actor”?

[MichMan]

18. What jury?

He hasn't gone to trial yet

[MissouriDem47]

22. The Sandwich

The sandwich was far less destructive than the items TACO's thugs used on police on 1/6/21. He pardoned them all.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. Can Piro and the trump DOJ get an indictment on a sandwich crime? Piro has not had luck in a similar case

Federal prosecutors told a judge they had failed twice to secure an indictment against Sydney Lori Reid for allegedly assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE arrest.

She is just running cover for their crimes

US Attorney Pirro's office admits grand jury refused ICE interference charges — twice

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors twice sought a grand jury indictment against a D.C. woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE inmate transfer — and were twice rejected, the U.S. Attorney’s Office admitted in court Thursday.

Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey revealed the denials to attorneys for Sydney Lori Reid and later granted their request to remove all bond conditions and release her on her own recognizance over prosecutors’ objections. He will resume a preliminary hearing on Friday afternoon to determine whether to dismiss the case entirely.

“Two presentations to the grand jury returned no bill both times,” Harvey said. “Suggesting the evidence is wanting, given the standard for indictment is probable cause. Suggesting the government may never get an indictment.”

Grand juries are tasked with deciding only whether there is a reasonable basis to support charging someone with a crime – a much lower burden for prosecutors than the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard of criminal juries – and typically make their decisions after hearing evidence only from the government. At the federal level, grand juries return indictments, or “true bills,” in the vast majority of cases.

Reid, 44, was charged last month with an enhanced felony version of an assault charge that requires inflicting bodily injury on a federal officer and carries a maximum sentence of up to eight years in prison. The charge is the same offense filed this week against a former DOJ employee accused of throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent.

Piro is so bad at her job that she cannot indict a ham sandwich. It will be fun to see is she brings Sean Dunn to a grand jury for a real sandwich indictment
