jeff sessions is an asshole: DOJ to retry woman who laughed during Sessions' confirmation hearing

[spanone]

Welcome to trumpworld......

Washington (CNN)The Department of Justice will retry a woman whom prosecutors say disrupted Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearing for attorney general by laughing.

After rejecting a plea deal, Desiree Fairooz will again face charges of unlawful conduct for disrupting Sessions' hearing in January.

According to court records, Fairooz rejected a deal offered by prosecutors that would have required her to plead guilty in exchange for a recommended sentence of time served.

Fairooz was detained after audibly laughing after Sen. Richard Shelby told senators at Sessions' confirmation hearing that the then-Alabama senator had a record of "treating all Americans equally under the law."

1. As thin skinned as his daddy Trump

2. Well, that's not vindictive at all.

If they're going to pointlessly waste several thousand dollars of the DOJ budget, at this point they'd be better off using that money like John Ascroft to cover up statues at DOJ headquarters because they have boobies.

3. She'll get off

On appeal if nothing else. I wouldn't be surprised if the judge threw the case out. It is VERY close to a 1st amendment case. And unless they can demonstrate HOW it "disrupted" the hearings, it is on very shakey ground.

4. Wonder who is defending her

And if she needs help with legal fees.

6. Isn't that double jeopardy?

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Of course, that presumes that an offense has been committed, of course.

7. Hahahahahahahahaha

What a waste of taxpayer resources that will only lead to more ridicule of the Purjurer General of the US.

8. Exactly what was her crime, Granny Clampett?

You were offended? Guess what, so are the rest of us. Suck it up, asshole.

[procon]

9. What crime is he accusing her of?

Is laughter illegal? It it as mock worthy as a derisive snort or an exaggerated eye roll? Is chuckling any more disruptive that someone having a fit of coughing or a bout with sneezing, or a crying baby, or do we see Sessions arresting someone for a ringing cell phone?

11. The perjurer general is a complete a-hole

Republican Dude needs to be prosecuted for his perjury before Congress

13. Isn't that double jeopardy?
