The Washington man accused of throwing a sandwich at federal officers — and who subsequently earned the nickname "Sandwich Guy" from fellow Trump administration critics — achieved another win after Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro was forced to admit defeat in her effort to charge him with felony assault.

Pirro begged a grand jury to agree with her charges, but grand jurors refused. The flop earned ridicule for the former Fox News host as legal experts recalled the adage that a grand jury could "indict a ham sandwich." A defendant is not allowed to present his or her case to a grand jury, so it is typically seen as easy to get an indictment from a grand jury. Pirro's failure resulted in scores of puns about a ham sandwich thrower.

After Pirro lost, she knocked the charges down to a misdemeanor.

The bust prompted those on social media to celebrate the Pirro faceplant, while some pointed out that the fact that it's still going to trial is absurd.

"The Chief of the Criminal section at DC USAO is prosecuting submarine warfare," joked national security expert Marcy Wheeler.

"I would rather sandwich guy not be prosecuted at all but it is very embarrassing and funny that Jeanine Pirro was like 'are we fascists a joke to you? well I'm charging you with a FELONY so who's laughing now?' only to immediately have to be like '...mumble mumble I mean misdemeanor mumble mumble,'" Madiba Dennie of "Balls and Strikes" wrote on BlueSky.

"So they have reduced the charge against sandwich guy to a misdemeanor, but they're still going to trial over it? This seems not normal," wrote "Muller, She Wrote's" Allison Gill.

The Washingtonian wrote that "Sandwich Guy" has become a symbol for a city angry over its law enforcement being taken over by a president who barely secured 6% of the vote in the District.

"Banksy-style images of a resistance fighter wielding a submarine sandwich rather than a brick," have popped up around the city, the report said. "Sandwiches and baguettes and similar tubular foodstuffs have become symbols of protest in the wake of Sandwich Guy’s arrest."

There are now slogans popping up on protest signs reading, “One Small Sub for Man…One Giant Gesture for Democracy” and “Don’t F--- With DC Unless You Want This Footlong."

Threads influencer Justin Elmer couldn't help but notice, "I don't understand the Air Force honoring Ashli Babbitt when there should have been a 21 sub salute for the sandwich guy getting off without even a misdemeanor."
