The Shitgibbon DOJ looks like it’s been running by a bunch of folks who just passed the bar or did work insurance work or lawyered for a garage company.
Fuck, I slay myself sometimes.

They had to drop the case upon discovering that there is nothing in the federal criminal code concerning atomic wedgies.

I’m really sad to hear that the crime was not committed. If anyone deserved a knee in the balls, it was this douchebag.

Can a defendant petition a judge to force his prosecution?
The reason I ask is that to do so would 1) force prosecutors to disclose whatever evidence (or lack thereof) they used to bring charges in the first place, and 2) allow the judge to dismiss the charges with prejudice.
Also, will Bovino now be forced to pay back the wages he received while recuperating from his non-existent injury? (Just kidding.)

Can we assume that, absent video evidence of the “assault”, Mister Bovine would have been required to display his groin for crime scene photography and medical discussion? And that he decided there wasn’t enough to be proud of?
Could Mister Bovine have been so clueless to think that claiming anything regarding his “groin” would not immediately become fertile territory for comedy?

If I were on that grand jury and the prosecutor didn’t have the video evidence, that is an immediate no. Just GTFO. The ham sandwich does not get indicted today.

One of my favorite TPM headlines of all time.

I’m going to speculate that there were a number of cameras and from many angles that all showed the same thing: Bovine kneeing himself in the groin.

Bovino has a groin? I’d thought he was primarily anus.
Pretty sure the headline has it bass ackwards…

…the Homeland Security Investigations official identified that agent as Bovino; the CBP commander later took a two-week leave from the Chicago operation because of a groin injury that, the investigator said, he incurred during the incident.
So … he braved his way, being a warrior, through the pain of a groin injury, and then later, took two weeks off b/c of the groin injury incurred. Trumpian logic I guess. Can someone please tell me where the exits are

Dropping the charges may be an admission that Bovino really is dickless.

So for context a military UH-60Black Hawk helicopter costs approximately $3,116 per hour . But if they used t he Cessna Caravan XP42 (which is sometimes referred to as a Blackhawk), the operating cost is estimated to be around $1,614 per hour.
Just want to point out how much these show of force cost the taxpayers.

In a related story, after a grand jury refused to indict the guy who threw a half-eaten subway sandwich at fully-armored and armed troops on felony charges, the Trump DOJ is now going to try him on misdemeanor assault and battery charges. For a piece of a sandwich. Against full body armor. LOL — can’t wait for the thugs to have to testify that they feared for their safety from a partial turkey sandwich. It must have had banana peppers.
