Bondi Fires DOJ Employee Accused of Throwing Sandwich at Federal Agent
AG Pam Bondi: “This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that she fired the DOJ employee who threw a sandwich at a federal agent in DC.
According to The Federalist, Dunn worked as an international affairs specialist in 2022 under former President Joe Biden.
Bondi wrote on X:
If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you.
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.
This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ.
You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.
If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you.

On August 10, Sean Charles Dunn allegedly hurled his Subway sandwich at a federal agent and Metro Police while screaming and shouting: “F— you! You f—ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!”
Dunn then ran away with cops following him.

The DOJ press release stated that Dunn said, “I did it. I threw a sandwich.”
Dunn faces charges for “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States.”
“Let me be clear, if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, be certain we will come after you with the full weight of the law. Our officers have a job to do, and they should not be abused in the process,” announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. “This alleged assault is no joke – it’s a serious crime, and those who think otherwise will learn just how gravely mistaken they are.”

What would he do if the judge overruled his objection? Lawfare this guy’s license. He seems unfit to be an officer of the court.
He is not a lawyer according to the NY Post, more like a paralegal.
Thanks for that info. In a world of limited resources, it allows some other wrongdoer to feel justice.
I wonder how many sleeper agents like this one are in DOJ as well as in the rest of the federal government?
I get what you mean but I found the premise hilarious.
Worst.Sleeper Agent.Ever.
“I’m going to blow my cover to strike a mortal blow against fascism and authoritarianism. Watch me destroy the evil plans of the Trump administration by…hitting a cop with a sandwich.”
I hope all their sleeper agents are that effective.
See what a cool guy he is? You found him hilarious. He provided a full fifteen minutes of side-splitting amusement to the local black layabouts. Watch for this guy in Colbert’s time slot.
To be clear…I didn’t find the aggravated assault of a federal officer, or even the verbal abuse he hurled at them, to be even slightly humorous.
What I found hilarious was the premise that this mental midget was a “sleeper agent”. The entire purpose of a sleeper agent is to remain “hidden in plain sight” until the opportunity arises for them to strike a particularly deadly blow.
This wasn’t it.
We really need to get back to enforcing ‘disturbing the peace’ to put an end to all the yelling, screaming and ‘crash out’ behavior. Personally I’d be in favor of LEO asking folks to stop yelling, then ordering them if they fail to comply then using pepper spray to gain compliance before putting the cuffs on and taking them to jail. Two opportunities to comply with basic civility and respect for others seems like plenty before applying minimum force to gain compliance. Whatever else the pepper spray will tone down the volume of hooping and hollering which was the entire goal of the encounter; to stop them from ‘disturbing the peace’.
I think, when you have the act right on video, you shouldn’t say “accused of” since it is a clear fact that he threw a hoagie at a federal agent.
It might be his identical twin brother, and his confession was merely him protecting his brother?
Well … tough luck for the bro, then. That’s a family issue that society has no interest in nor care about. If criminals are going to hurt anyone it is fairest that they hurt people in their own families.
Of course, maybe the video was of a space alien who transformed to look like Dunn. I think we’ve all seen The Thing. We know what is possible.
In today’s world you might even make the claim that it was an AI generated scene that never even really happened (no matter what anyone “allegedly” involved might say).
In total, this all means that there is no such thing as reliable evidence to convict anyone of anything. Ever. The best we can ever say about anyone or anything is “allegedly” and then have to let them all walk free …
Good, see if some Commissar Judge make the Feds take him back.
The government is full of subversive
There are so many layers to this story, it is hard to wrap one’s head around it all. It does seem that Sean Dunn is toast at the DOJ as well as the rest of the Federal Government outside of some correctional facility. Up until the delivery, Mr. Dunn did appear to be a bit saucy to the officers but still within his 1st amendment rights. Not to slice the narrative too thin but I hope that someone retrieved the sandwich. At least Sean Dunn should be able to enjoy his sandwich in the city lockup while contemplating his future living arrangements.
He could have yelled obscenities all night, but well, he made an overt act when he threw his sandwich. I have to say, however it’s kind of sad it was merely a Subway sandwich… that’s a pretty pathetic thing to get fired over. I mean they’re not even very good.
I’m trying to remember a Pogo quote, something along the lines of: “If this is coal it’s not bad, but if it’s licorice it’s terrible”. A Subway sandwich may be “not very good” as food, but as ammunition it’s terrible.
Subway sandwiches are great food. And they used to be good deals (with the special foot-long pricing from years ago).
Except of course for the club.
You can call a cop a Turkey pr a Meatball, but never attack him with a Club.
I’d keep my eye on anyone flaunting a Subway sandwich on the street these days. They’re over-implicated at this point. They’re about two weeks away from being legal grounds for a Terry stop. .
If we lived in a Fascist country, Dunn would have been on the ground with his face being driven into the pavement by the Federal agents as soon as he opened his yap.
Yes. We know we’re not living in a fascist country from the way people feel so free to announce at the top of their lungs that we are.
Yes, with a knee on his neck and his complaints about not being able to breathe going unheard and unheeded.
The person recording and others were laughing at this fool. Anyone with half a brain would know that these LEOs were just waiting for the guy to commit a crime. He must have been intoxicated or mentally unbalanced. I really don’t want someone like this working in my government.
TDS is mentally unbalanced. Keep in mind that many of those deep state types are just as sneaky as Obama.
And Judge Jeanine is now the US attorney. There will be no misdemeanor plea deal, so he won’t be voting in 2026 or 2028. He’ll have to wait for a Democrat president to pardon him.
And, in case anyone was wondering:
“…as of mid-2025, Department of Justice (DOJ) federal employees based in Washington, D.C., are no longer covered by collective bargaining agreements and cannot be union-represented, regardless of location.”
So he ain’t got THAT going for him….
Introducing Subway’s new line of self launching sandwiches – The Torpedo. Try one, it’s a riot.
Never bring a knish to a subfight.
It’s an outrage. A complete outrage I tell you. We must immediately seek federal and state bans on all sandwiches. Both the six-inch version and the high capacity 12-inch version. And let’s hope to God nobody starts selling ghost sandwiches online or the insanity will never end. Stop the insanity! Ban the sandwich! Ban the sandwich, now!
I finally understand ghost pepper cheese.
If Subway’s marketing department had any sense at all, they would take this idea and run with it as a temporary special footlong and hire Sidney Sweeney for the commercials. It would be glorious.
Subway’s PR Dept. is hopeless. They’d hire Maxine Waters instead.
“Get Subway in your faces!”
Drinking… never a good thing
The one question I have is what type of sandwich was it??
I would bet it was vegan.
Baloney.
Why libs be so emootional? I have *never* lost control of myself like that (this is not to say I haven’t been in an altercation, just that I never started one by being slave to my feelinks).
This guy is a nutcase and a Liberal (but I repeat myself) but as assault goes throwing an almost-a-foot-long sandwich is pretty pathetic.
I know technically (and legally) any physical touch or thing thrown at a person can be charged as assault – but seriously if the target was not LEO would any DA charge it as such or judge judge it as such? Or would they just plead it down not to waste the court’s time?
Assuming a Biden judge doesn’t issue a never-Trump injunction to reverse his firing I’m not sure a felony charge is appropriate – or necessary.
It’s appropriate and necessary in order to send a message to others who behave like this.
The textbook definition of assault (“battery,” in some jurisdictions where assault is defined as causing the the victim to have apprehension of unwanted touching or a physical attack) is making unwanted and harmful physical contact, either with one’s body, or, an object. There is no requirement that the assault/battery cause injury, or, that the object thrown be a weapon.
The problem isn’t WHAT he threw but THAT he threw anything at the LEO. We gotta put an end to the culture of entitlement in general and in particular the belief that LEO should be verbal or physical ‘punching bags’. No one should feel secure in tossing anything at anyone as if no consequences exist. Next time might be an acid thrown.
Some dude irrationally screaming? Ay some.LEO not engaged with him? Tell them to stop disturbing the peace then if they refuse pepper spray them. Take them into custody and IMO put 72 hour psych hold/evaluation on them. Rational, emotionally regulated people capable of self restraint don’t act like this, it is how loons act. If society makes it clear such behavior will not be tolerated by arrest, detention and depending on psych evaluation from the 72 hour hold followed by either a stint in jail or a commitment to mental institution then folks will stop once they experience or observe swift consequences.
Word has it she’ll be charging him with Assault With A Deli Weapon
‘‘Twas certainly no hero.
So embarrassing. A grown man acting like an infantile, petulant and tantrum-throwing toddler.
It goes without saying that this idiot’s parents are cut from the same bolt of vile cloth and thus didn’t instill him with proper values and discipline, and, certainly the schools that he attended (I’m certain that he attended either NYU, Georgetown, Columbia, or one of innumerable, similarly corrupted and rabidly leftist institutions) further indoctrinated him in the requisite Dhimmi-crat/Marxist-Leninist/Communist/Islamofascist ideological fashions and orthodoxies.
Hence, his utterly vile and criminal behavior, born of malignant narcissism.
I saw reports that the perp was really, really drunk at the time of the event.
Being drunk does not excuse the conduct.
However, it certainly explains why the perp had no inhibitions.
So was he drinking at work or stop off at a bar before picking up lunch at Subway?
Aside from their delicious hoagies, it seems that there is something odd about Subway. Subway was at the center of the Jussie Smollett hoax and now this Subway is a main actor in a major insurrectionist attack in our nation’s capital. That’s got to be something more than a coincidence.
Don’t forget Jared, and Meagan Rapinoe.
They choose more disreputable spokespeople than Joe Biden did.
I’m on the fence.
Do you stop rewarding tantrum behavior or do you just let it play out and not take the bait (let them parody themselves)?
That was supposed to be a reply to Commo.
This guy was rightfully fired, but I think if you tamp down on too much of this stuff to prevent it you don’t get to weed out these idiots when they out themselves.
I’d reframe the question as either enabling the behavior or setting and enforcing boundaries of civil behavior expected in public. Allowing it to go this far will motivate others to go further. LEO shouldn’t be punching bags. If folks figure they can behave Cray Cray and do this to LEO without consequences what will they think they can do to average people? I’d argue the mob beatings in Cincinnati were reflective of an overly permissive culture.
You stop rewarding the tantrums. Because if you don’t take appropriate action the tantrums will never stop. That goes for both small children and adults who should certainly know better than to assault a federal law enforcement officer. So just like a small child that gets sent to their room for pulling a temper tantrum (been there done that many times as a child) this guy needs to be sent to a jail cell to contemplate the behaviors that landed him there. That’s the only way such atrocious behavior will stop.
Toddler McEdgelord missed the opportunity to throw a doughnut.
The ultimate “Nancy Boy” with a pink polo shirt and gay shorts.
I will bet that his sandwich was “vegan”.
