An Extremely Tense Situation in D.C.

[Joe Guy]

This just in!

Jeanine Pirro just announced that a federal grand jury has indicted the submarine sandwich that was thrown at the ICE officer in Washington, D.C. Pirro was interviewed by Sean Hannity on Fox News and said, "We're done with Dunn but no matter how you slice it, justice must be served. That sandwich is dead meat."

After the interview Hannity said, "Pirro appeared to be drunk but you can't really tell with her."

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program....

So why was she charged with a hate crime, should it had not been a misdemeanor?

Are you that thick? He (not she) was obviously charged with a hate crime because the prosecution believed the elements were supported by the evidence and the grand jury agreed. Don't like the law? Change it--write your congressperson/senators/state legislators, lobby, protest... But it's a law that has been used again and again and it has not been successfully challenged in any court i am aware of (although you could help fund such defense challenges if you wanted to as well. And, FWIW, as BSG reported, the jury found enough evidence to convict him.

As for

But I also know that, like any jury, a grand jury can be stacked—especially if dishonorable people are in charge of compiling the jury pool. They say that in New York City, a favored prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Maybe a poor boy sandwich should have been indicted instead.

; wasn't that more a demonstration of how weak this case was (since the prosecution assembles the grand jury (in accordance with the law of course) and still could not get an indictment? If a sandwich could be indicted but not this guy, it showed what the grand jury thought of the case--and that is why the grand jury is comprised of our fellow citizens and not government officials. I know you'd rather dispense with these "niceties" (i.e. Constitutional protections) and just lock up the guys you don't like, but, thankfully, the Constitution is still the law of the land (at least for now).
