Just saw an article on the NYT about a man who was arrested for assaulting a federal officer in WDC. . .with his Subway sandwich

In fact, I recently saw a bodycam video in which a Karen was arrested for precisely that. She was already at home, and after a brief interview in which it was clear that she was the one who had thrown a cup of water at the victim, she was cuffed and arrested, all the while expressing outrage, claiming “it was just water”.

I got a beef with your puns; they’re corned corny!

He has a rye sense of humor.

Wheat’s wrong with that?

I hope his lawyer’s fees don’t cost him a lot of dough

Trump admin will get its vengeance one way or another even if not as much as they’d like.

I am unsure what penalty this misdemeanor might carry but I know some misdemeanors can potentially carry jail time. No need for a grand jury.

Community service of some sort? A first offense misdemeanor will likely get him a slap on the wrist and a stern lecture from the judge.

Depends on the judge don’t it? If the judge is MAGA he’s going to get the maximum.

Up to one year, in the case of a federal Class A misdemeanor.

Good for him it was salami instead of ham! :wink:

I don’t believe that’s how it works. Based on my legal expertise (entirely based on following Ken White aka Popehat on Bluesky and watching the occasional Legal Eagle Youtube video) I believe federal judges are required to follow federal sentencing guidelines, which use a formula taking into account various aggravating and mitigating elements and spit out a pretty narrow range of penalties which in this case I’m guessing will be zero jail time.
