Desiree Fairooz’s brief chuckle during the attorney general’s confirmation hearing in January has turned into a nine-month ordeal, and it’s not over yet.
By Ryan J. Reilly


WASHINGTON ― Jeff Sessions’ Justice Department plans to put a woman who laughed at the now-attorney general back on trial yet again, a federal prosecutor told a D.C. judge here on Friday.

.............................................

Fairooz and her lawyer rejected a plea deal offered by the government in which she would have pleaded guilty to one of two charges in exchange for the government recommending a sentence of time served, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Paschall said in D.C. Superior Court on Friday.

Chief Judge Robert E. Morin previously tossed out a jury’s guilty verdict against Fairooz in July because the government had improperly argued that her laughter alone was enough to convict.

......................................
While introducing Sessions, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) claimed his colleague had a “clear and well-documented” record of “treating all Americans equally under the law.” Fairooz found that laughable. So she laughed...............................

1. This should ENRAGE all patriots ENRAGE...

UN

FUCKING

BELIEVABLE


i am so fucking angry

[lordsummerisle]

16. I agree totally n/t

[IronLionZion]

2. Men are afraid women will laugh at us

women are afraid men will kill them.

Yet, they still laugh at us.

when did laughing become a crime? If they don't want people laughing at the absurdity of appointing an open racist as attorney general then they can clear out the audience or appoint someone who's less of an asshole.

[plimsoll]

20. If enough of us wrote Amicus briefs stating that we're sure Mr. Sessions had his pants on.

Would that make Jeffy give up?

[LiberalFighter]

28. How do we know Sessions didn't have his pants off

and playing with his twittle?

[BigmanPigman]

3. What country and century are we living in?!

I am irate!!!!!!! News like this makes me feel violent and I am a 5'1" pacifist.

[lastlib]

35. 1930s Italy....

These are fascists we are dealing with. They believe they ARE the law.

[DK504]

4. Abuse of power much?

[bucolic_frolic]

5. He who laughs last laughs best

Someday this will be as absurd as Freedom Fries

[Marthe48]

6. she laughed at his mighty sword

(apologies to Randy Newman)

[Angry Dragon]

7. just goes to prove that republicans have no sense of humor

idiots abound

[SergeStorms]

31. The "humor gene" is completely lacking.....

in Republicans, along with the "honesty gene", the "fairness gene", the "empathy gene", the "truth gene", the "ethics gene", and just about every other gene that makes one a decent human being. They never received the approval and love of their parents, and it certainly shows. That's why they spend their entire lives trying to screw over everyone possible.

Loathsome beings, all.

[Angry Dragon]

33. they sure are missing a lot of genes

[heaven05]

8. what a fucking POS

that KKK member sessions is, whether active or not he loves the KKK....known in many circles as an outspoken racist....hell if I was there I would have laughed also, like I'm still laughing. Hell the whole world is laughing at this current administration led by Klan leader the idiot-potus.

[They_Live]

9. I thought that they couldn't do that.

Double jeopardy, and all?

[groundloop]

10. The incident reminded Sessions too much of his wife laughing at his manhood

(or lack thereof).

Geeze what a pile of crap case, they need to just drop it and put taxpayer resources toward helping people rebuild from Harvey.

[LisaM]

11. Nurse arrested for following the law in Utah, woman taken to court for laughing....

This is the world we live in and I'm sick of it.

[tinrobot]

12. Reminds me of Stalin-era face crimes.

Stalin-era Soviets would hold show trials and force people to attend.

The Soviets would then have people watching the audience for negative facial expressions such as eye rolling, looks of disgust, etc. Those people were arrested for dissent and sent to the gulag.

I don't see how this is any different.

[orangecrush]

14. Exactly.

[Blue Owl]

13. Time for us all to turn ourselves in

Just like those confederate monument "vandals"

[TomSlick]

15. The truly amazing part of the story

is that a jury convicted. I would expect a jury to laugh.

[PatrickforO]

17. I was going to post this, but then saw you had. I urge everyone who reads about this

mean spirited and childish action on the part of Jeff Sessions and his 'department of justice' to please write your Democratic Senators and Representative about this. The right wing is trying to make it hard for the people to push back. The Koch brothers are working on another union busting crusade. Trump is getting rid of regulations right and left. The Republicans want more giant tax cuts for rich people. Republican controlled legislatures across the nation are passing voter suppression measures. The Republicans have proved they would betray this nation we love to a hostile foreign power just to win an election.

Now they are trying to chain us by making us afraid to demonstrate.

Don't let it happen. Push back. Write and call your US Senators and Representatives. This is serious. We must nip this in the bud.

Because she just giggled during Sessions' confirmation hearing. That's it. Remember that scumbag asshole from Texas who yelled, "Liar!" during Obama's first State of the Union address? Nothing happened to that sick fuck. Nothing.

But now the whole weight of the Federal Government is on top of an old woman who laughed during a hearing.

That is NOT OK.

[lordsummerisle]

22. This case is in the judiciary

while I am as outraged as anybody about it, what good will contacting Congress members do?

[PatrickforO]

24. They represent us. This means they can put pressure on the judiciary.

You must know this...it is how our government works. There are many stories about how US Senators and Representatives have used the bully pulpit to pressure big corporations, police departments and other entities to cease and desist unjust actions. It is said that lifting the rock and exposing evil like this makes it shrivel up in the light.

I'm just trying to shed a little more light on it.

And, it doesn't hurt that my Senators and Representative know I'm paying attention out here. Keeps them honest.

[riversedge]

23. This is not OK as you say and I will be writing my Senator--or calling.

[TNNurse]

18. This is so petty and small

and they are using my damn tax money to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cryptoad]

19. I like to pull jury duty on that one!!!!!!

[flibbitygiblets]

21. This is BULLSHIT. Writing all of my congresspeople right now. What the hell country is this?

[gopiscrap]

25. We should all turn ourselves in at the Federal Court nearest us

for laughing at Sessions, trump et al

[Doreen]

26. No shit.

[still_one]

27. The ACLU should get involved in this.

[defacto7]

29. Such a tiny frail lump of a man that Sessions.

All that angst inside his little mind quietly screaming to get out with that passive agressive anal control he learned from mother dearest while kneeling by his bed at nightime, hand firmly pressed, oh so firmly pressed together waiting,waiting in prayer for the holy spirit to come and cleanse, oh so cleans those nasty sins away with mother dearest's special holy touch helping the spirit find the filthiest most corruptable parts and pray, pray, pray for the salvation of jesus to not alow the woman cursed by the fruit of the tree of good and evil to laugh at little Jeffy and take away the joy of cleansing salvation for all who seek its pain an ecstacy in heaven.

[Danascot]

30. Je Suis Desiree Fairooz

We all laugh at Sessions.

[world wide wally]

32. Does this qualify as double jeopardy?

[Achilleaze]

34. Small. republicans are so frikken small.

the republican Perjurer General is the epitome of a shrunken soul. Sad.

[MurrayDelph]

36. This should be a slam-dunk

She laughed in derision at the statement that Sessions could be a honest AG.

The fact that his office is putting her on trial a second time is proof she was right.

[turbinetree]

37. Hey Sessions.........................

.............................GOT IT

[Motley13]

38. hey Jeff Beau Sesspool, we are all laughing

[lordsummerisle]

40. Samantha Bee did this great piece on Sessions and marijuana

and showed a clip of Sessions saying "it's not funny!" and then showed some pot smokers watching him on tv saying that and bursting out laughing...

[Maraya1969]

39. WHAT is she being charged with????
