Remember the Sandwich Thrower? Some lawyer went out to Subway for lunch, and on the way back to the office, he sees an ICE raid happening. He gets incensed by the immorality he witnesses, and threw his sandwich at an ICE Ape, and all Hell broke loose.
They tried to indict the lawyer with a Grand Jury three times,.and they rejected it every time. So they charged him under a different statute that didn't require a Grand Jury, and got him in a courtroom.
The ICE Ape testified about how the sandwich burst open, smearing mustard and onions across his body armor. He had to go the rest of the day smelling mustard and onions, and it caused pTSD that is triggered whenever he smells mustard or onions.
The defendant's lawyer let the ICE Ape sell it really good on cross-examination, and then displayed a picture of the offending sandwich, in a photo taken AFTER the incident, when police had been called to process the crime scene. The photo showed that the sandwich was on the ground, STILL tightly wrapped. That Subway Sandwich Artist earned Employee of the Month with that professionally tight wrapping, which proved that the ICE Ape LIED about EVERYTHING.
The Jury found the defendant not guilty nearly immediately. The ICE Ape was not charged with perjury.
This was a case that was lost by a mere photograph. The prosecution should have anticipated that the defense would show that photo, and completely contradict their case, but they didn't, because they are astonishingly incompetent, or at least they are being forced to prosecute cases they KNOW are incompetent. None of their retaliation lawsuits are working out for them. Judges know what's up, and they don't like being expected to be just a tool for MAGA's disgusting retribution.
IF this case ever sees the inside of a courtroom, they will also be found not guilty.
Which is why there was at least one trump DOJ attorney that shrugged their shoulders and told the judge in a different case to hold then in contempt or put them in jail, cause they were sick of doing what they were doing under the DoJ.
That's not at all why they asked the judge to hold them in contempt.
They were making a tongue in cheek remark about needing rest from having to work so hard to get ICE to comply with court orders.
If I remember their statement correctly, they said it took threats to quit just to get ICE officials to respond to questions or requests from the court. Not obey, just to acknowledge the court.
So this is a case of a Grand Jury not indicting a ham sandwich?
It's a case of a MAGA prosecutor that's so inept, they can't even indict a ham sandwich.
