Description

The long national nightmare is over— a DC federal jury acquitted, over sandwiches no less— the ridiculous federal criminal case brought by Trump’s DOJ against a former DOJ paralegal for tossing a Subway salami sandwich, mustard and onions and all, at a Customs and Border Patrol agent in protest. This is now the second time today that a federal officer was not believed in a court of law, and Popok ties it together with the string of losses in federal court Trump and his DOJ has suffered just this week, coast to coast, from Rhode Island, to DC to South Carolina, to Virginia, to Chicago to Oregon.

The agent lied on the stand; the agent should now be charged. The DOJ is a joke.

What a waste of taxpayer dollars. The officer that pressed charges should be fired and stripped of immunity.

This is another example of the current administration waisting money on frivolous use of the DOJ and the justice system.

Why does it seem that those that commit perjury never seem the suffer consequences for lying.
