This charge against Dunn is just the latest absurdity to come out of Trump's evidence-free decision to have federal law enforcement take over policing in D.C. Pirro is trying to make an example of Dunn, while at the same time the DOJ and other federal agencies have ignored worse violent crimes, including officers who have been caught manhandling immigrants across the country.
