Like the anonymous protester who stood in front of a column of military tanks in Tiananmen Square back in 1989, Sean Charles Dunn, the former Department of Justice employee who hurled a sandwich at federal agent, has become something of a symbol, a rallying point, for the so-called “resistance” to the ever-expanding authoritarian rule of Donald Trump.
The Subway sandwich hit the federal agent in the chest. It was fortunate that he happened to be wearing a bulletproof vest at the time or he might have been severely injured. The response was quick as about 20 heavily-armed agents pounced on the assailant before he could inflict further damage.
Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately FIRED Dunn, saying he would be charged with a felony.
Even as an indignant Bondi vowed full prosecution of the sandwich-throwing threat to democracy, an FBI agent who was charged with joining in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, REMAINS GAINFULLY EMPLOYED by the agency. Jared Lane Wise, a former supervisory agent, currently serves as a counselor to Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin Jr. Martin was a prominent figure in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Moreover, Trump has pardoned many of those arrested, convicted and sentenced in connection with events on that day.
So, as you can readily see just by comparing these two incidents, we are no longer a nation of law, we have become and are a nation of who you know. That’s a fact, Jack.
Still not convinced? Try this on for size.
If Mr. Dunn wants to avoid prosecution, all he has to do is write a $25,000 CHECK to Pam Bondi and presto! The charge disappears. It’s that simple, really.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) provides us with a handy TIMELINE of events.
You see, way back in February 2008, before anyone had ever thought of the possibility of TACO Don running for president, Eric Schneiderman, then Florida’s attorney general began getting reports of students being defrauded by the Trump Institute and related entities. On August 1, 2013, Schneiderman had heard enough and filed a lawsuit against Trump for “engaging in persistent fraudulent, illegal and deceptive conduct.”
That same year, Bondi launched her campaign for attorney general and ol’ Yam Tits on September 17, 2013, wrote her a $25,000 campaign check. (By comparison, in Louisiana, where ethics go to die, the maximum allowable contribution in a statewide campaign is $5,000.) Carrying the ethics bit even further, the contribution came from the Trump Foundation. It is illegal for a 501(c)(3) private foundation to make political contributions. To take this ethics question even further, the donation was solicited by Bondi.
The contribution was acknowledged on Oct. 17, 2013. The very next day, October 18, it was announced that 21 of 22 complaints against Trump University had been “weeded out,” leaving only a single complaint against the university.
On January 1, 2014, the Trump Foundation claimed that it had made no donations to political entities, admitting to “clerical errors” nearly four months later.
On June 6, 2016, Bondi’s spokesperson informs Associated Press that Attorney General Bondi was unaware of the 20+ complaints against Trump entities when she solicited the donation.
On June 7, Bondi tells the Tampa Bay Times, “I was never, nor was my office, investigating him (Trump). Never. I would never lie. I would never take money. I’ve been obviously devastated over this.”
Wow. That sounds almost sincere.
Meanwhile, Dunn could probably set up a Go Fund Me account and raise enough money to write Bondi one of those $25,000 checks that she knows nothing about.

Rampant corruption and cronyism is one of the characteristics of fascism. So is an obsession with punishing “crimes” against the state. Not to mention that a Department of Justice which serves as an agent of vengeance for the president and his policies is as un-American as siding with the Russians against your own government. Or inviting them to hack your political opponent. Nevertheless utterly sold out MAGA fascists will vomit up all sorts of intellectual dishonesty attempting to justify the threat of a thrown ham sandwich against the non-violence of assualt-by-flagpole on Capitol Police, and then vomit up some more dishonesty to justify a weaponized DOJ. Because intellectual honesty is the first thing you abandon on the road to Fascism. And that is quickly followed by principles, morals, ethics, ideology, and religion. Not necessarily in that order, but by the time you get to Fascism you are free of those burdens and responsibilities. Which is why Mr. Dunn will be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” while people like Jared Wise, who was charged in the Jan 6 riot but escaped prosecution when Trump and Bondi dismissed all of it, now has a cushy job working as an advisor to Ed Martin Jr., a DOJ pardon attorney who was instrumental in organizing the “Stop the Steal” rally and helped incite the crowd. Rampant corruption and cronyism. Just one of the characteristics of fascism embodied by MAGA.
Also, if anyone still doubts Trump’s corruption and his corruption of the office of the president take ten minutes to watch this. Yes, the messenger is biased. But the message is all documented fact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdnR5wQjr-c

May I share this
Of course. And thanks.
throwing a sandwich at a cop, and you boomers celebrate this? No wonder this country is nose diving rapidly.
You mean the way Trump and his supporters celebrated Jan. 6? Is that what you mean, Sunshine? You mean the way Trump celebrated a physically handicapped reporter? The way he celebrated Gold Star parents? You need to take your drawers off and untwist them. It’s cutting off oxygen to your brain.
The same way Jasmine Crockett called Gov. Abbot “Hot wheels”. Then proudly said Sen. Cruze needs to be knocked over the head. This is the representation of the party you SUPPORT? You need oxygen as well good sir.
whaaa, whaaa, whaaa ypu bunch of Kool-aid drinking democommies can’t stand it when the tables are turned. Jan 6th was a Pelosi planned BS event and she will soon go to jail for it. And as for the sandwich throwing federal employee, he is not allowed by ethics to threaten, assault verbally or physically a federal employee. Look up the laws. I have been federal employee for 35 years and ever since DEI and affirmative action waste has increased 1000 fold. If you not good enough to get a job on merit then so be it. Congrats to Pam Bondi and President Trump for putting a stop to you anti American socialists.
Oh, Goose, you silly boy. I never heard so much whining, bitching and moaning as when Trump got beat in 2020 and all you poor little ol’ Trumpettes were running around saying he’d be reinstated by July…blah, blah, blah. All we heard for four years was how your boy got the election stolen from him. When Hillary lost, she conceded. When Kamala lost, she conceded. That’s what losers of elections do. Even Nixon had enough dignity to concede to Kennedy rather than fight the results. The Supreme Court yanked the presidency out from under Al Gore but he didn’t carry on for four-plus years like TACO Don. And now, you’re saying that when Trump told ’em on Jan. 6 to march on the Capitol, that he’d be there with them (he wasn’t), that it was Pelosi’s plan? Wow. In one case, you have a gang of thugs chanting “Hang Mike Pence” and decorating the walls in the capital with excrement and you’re getting all strung out over a thrown sandwich?
I really don’t understand your ignorance, but I do have to admire your dedication to it.
I simply asked about a cop having a sandwich thrown, unprovoked, upon him. (A degrading act in my opinion.). Mr. Tom, you immediately made my response relative to President Trump, and January 6th. Sir, please enjoy your twilight years with your grandchildren, instead of posturing yourself into something you clearly should rid yourself. Have a blessed evening sir.
Sorry, but it seems to me if you can get offended at a thrown sandwich, it’s certainly fair for me to get offended at things I see and know to be wrong, in bad taste or even dangerous. I think I have that right despite my being in my “twilight years.”
Well Tom, I said “… utterly sold out MAGA fascists will vomit up all sorts of intellectual dishonesty …” and two of them showed up to prove me right with typical “whatabout” arguments the same way any five-year-old would whine, “What about Billy? He did it first!” But it’s pointless to take such people seriously or attempt to debate them. It’s worse than trying to argue with a five-year-old. At least with a five-year-old you can end it with, “Because I said so.” No such luck with sold out MAGA fascists. Those people will go to their graves more ignorant than they are right now because they’re never going to stop swallowing the lies that affirm their prejudices. I appreciate, though, their attempt to engage others. I just wish one of them had something to say worth listening to.
