DOJ Lawyers Insist Laughing At Their Boss Jeff Sessions Can Be A Criminal Offense

“Laughter is enough” to merit a criminal charge for disrupting Congress, government lawyer claims.

WASHINGTON ― Laughing at the claim during a congressional hearing that Attorney General Jeff Sessions treats all Americans equally is ― in and of itself ― enough to merit a criminal charge, a Justice Department lawyer argued before a D.C. jury on Tuesday.

David Stier, a Justice Department lawyer, made the claim in closing arguments in a two-day trial of Desiree Fairooz, a 61-year-old activist associated with Code Pink. She was arrested in January when she laughed during Sessions’ confirmation hearing after another senator claimed Sessions had a long record of “treating all Americans equally.”
