Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday.
He lied repeatedly (and so did his subordinates and the government's lawyers). That should be noted in any case he testifies in down the road.
Meanwhile, Drunken Jeanine lost another one:
Jurors showed no appetite for the Justice Department's case against "sandwich guy," the D.C. resident who chucked a Subway sandwich at the chest of a federal officer, finding him not guilty Thursday after several hours of deliberations.
...
Border Patrol Officer Greg Lairmore received two "gag gifts" related to the incident — a plush sandwich and a patch featuring a cartoon of Dunn throwing the sandwich with the words “Felony Footlong” — which the defense team argued showed this was not a serious event in his life.
Lairmore had testified that the sandwich “exploded all over” his chest and claimed he could smell mustard and onions. But a photo showed that the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after it hit Lairmore in his bulletproof vest.
So, yet another cop got on the stand and testilied about the facts of the case.
The one difference between the American Gestapo and the original is that, for now at least, their bullshit sometimes gets dragged into the light in front of a jury.
But it is a sample of the standard line of lies. Which one is the lie as in
ReplyDeletedon't believe your lying eyes. They get caught on video and every one has
a cell phone camera so they should not do it as too much video saying they
they lie.
Eck!
When the "victim" gets caught lying to the jury it's not surprising that they voted to acquit.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, there is video of those incidents, if anyone really cared to prosecute hi for perjury.
ReplyDeleteBut it is all Political Theater.
Not to deflate your snark, but have you forgotten who prosecutes perjury in the Federal court system? And if they tried, Your Orange Idol would pardon him in a nanosecond.
DeleteAnd you know both those things.
