A man throws a sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer and is charged with a felony.
"IF you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,” Attorney General Bondi wrote. “I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony.”
Hmmm... Then there was an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol where the convicted felons were pardoned by the current president for which AG Bondi works. It's ok to actually harm people including federal law enforcement officers, threaten and chase U.S. Representatives and Senators, threaten and chase the Vice President of the United? But, they really want to punish a sandwich thrower?
Not that I condone throwing sandwiches at anyone.

Trump’s D.C. Police Takeover Is His Latest Made-Up ‘Emergency’ Power Grab
Convicted Felon Trump Lies About Crime Rate In D.C., Deploys Troops
However, the President of the United States (2025) does not believe there was an insurrection on January 6, 2021.
January 6 U.S. Capitol attack, "storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, by a mob of supporters of Republican Pres. Donald J. Trump. The attack disrupted a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the presidential election of 2020, which Trump had lost to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. Because its object was to prevent a legitimate president-elect from assuming office, the attack was widely regarded as an insurrection or attempted coup d’état. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other law-enforcement agencies also considered it an act of domestic terrorism."
He pardoned nearly everyone involved in the insurrection on the Capital in Washington D.C. Now he wants to put troops on the ground in D.C.???
Yes, the criminal is in the White House.
A continuation of the insurrection? "This is liberation day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back — we're taking it back," [the President] said during a news conference at the White House.
Sick. Someone needs to stand up to him. George W. Bush? Mike Pence? Mitt Romney? John Kasich? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Brian Kemp? Bueller?

The Maryville man "was convicted via bench trial in November for eleven charges: three felony charges of civil disorder, destruction of government property and assaulting an officer, and eight assorted misdemeanor offenses related to his actions on Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021."
...
Then pardoned by Trump.
The January 6 felon, from Maryville, was convicted by a federal jury in late Nov., 2024 in the Eastern District of Tennessee on charges of “conspiracy to murder federal employees, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and influencing a federal official by threat.” His sentencing is set for May 7.

CNN's Jim Acosta tries to get Burchett to be a good American.
Jim Acosta, CNN, interviews U.S. Rep Burchett (TN), hilarity ensures. The video is included at the link.
Acosta:
Do you agree with president trump's decision to pardon these violent people and releasing them from jail?
Burchett:
If they were truly violent, no. But, but, do I know that they were. No, I don't know that
Acosta:
What do you mean you don't know that? We're showing the footage on the air right now.
Congressman, you were there that day. There are offenders on January 6 that violently beat police officers.
There are offenders that were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
That is the truth.

On Jan. 6th, here is what our congressman chose to tweet:
Two matters of ethics:
1) ignoring this important anniversary
2) giving financial advice, considering his pre-pandemic stock dump. From the Tennesseean (May 26, 2020):
Burchett reported just one transaction – selling between $1,000 and $15,000 in stock of Denny’s, the breakfast restaurant, on Feb. 12.
