WASHINGTON — You could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, the saying goes, but, in Washington, a federal grand jury just declined to indict a man for throwing a salami sub.

The grand jury did not return an indictment against a former Justice Department employee who was seen on camera throwing a hoagie at the chest of one of the federal officers President Donald Trump has deployed in the nation’s capital, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The grand jury’s decision not to indict Sean Dunn is another sign of pushback from Washington, D.C., residents over Trump's deployment of the National Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies in the city, who have put a particular focus on immigration enforcement. The New York Times was first to report the news. The incident took place on Aug. 10 at the corner of 14th and U Streets NW, in the heart of the U Street corridor, a neighborhood that played a historic role in the civil rights era and is now a nightlife hotspot.

“F--- you! You f---ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn, 37, yelled at officers in the video. After apparently throwing the hoagie in front of a Subway location, Dunn ran. Officers chased him, and he was arrested on the scene and later processed and released.

4. Jeanine Pirro - The worst US Attorney in History

Many or Most US Attorneys have never failed to get an indictment in their entire careers. Pirro has now failed at least 4 times in like a month or two. Of course, that was because there was never any cause to support an indictment in these cases which any competent owner would know and never try for an indictment.

7. The guy threw a Subway sandwich.

Jared Fogel is a pedophile.
Jared Fogel represented Subway.
Jeanine Pirro is the DC District Attorney.
Jeanine Pirro fails to indict Subway thrower.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum: Pirro is protecting pedophiles.

RELEASE THE TRUMP-STEIN FILES!!!!

8. Pirro has a hard time reading the room.

She’s delusional if she thought she could get an indictment, much less a conviction for nonsense like this from a DC jury.
