What *is* funny as hell is that the Department of Justice has failed to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sandwich.

Jessica M. Leslie, 34, was charged Friday with one count of criminal contempt after federal prosecutors accused her of leaking information about the secretive proceedings.

San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus has been indicted by a civil grand jury for willful or corrupt misconduct, including conflict of interest and retaliation allegations.
