Far-Left Judge SCREAMS at DOJ Lawyers From the Bench During Hearing on DC Man Who Threatened to Kill Trump After Grand Jury Declines Indictment – Pirro Responds

September 4, 2025

A far-left federal judge erupted during a hearing on Thursday after the DOJ dismissed a case against a DC man who threatening to kill President Trump.

Earlier this week a DC grand jury declined to indict Edward Dana after he was arrested damaging a light fixture at a DC restaurant.

Dana also allegedly threatened to kill President Trump and the DC Metro officer who arrested him.

“I’m not going to tolerate fascism. … And that means killing you, officer, killing the president, killing anyone who stands in the way of our Constitution,” Dana allegedly said, according to KTLA. “You want to stand in the way of our Constitution, I will f—ing kill you.”

Federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Thursday screamed from the bench and blasted DOJ lawyers during a hearing to dismiss the case.

The judge also apologized to the defendant who threatened kill Trump!

CBS News reported:

A federal judge excoriated the Justice Department over its handling of criminal cases during the Trump administration’s ongoing federal takeover of Washington, D.C., saying at a hearing Thursday that the department has brought “embarrassment and shame” on the government during its “rush” to charge individuals.

U.S. District Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to Edward Dana, a man who was charged for what the Justice Department and U.S. Secret Service said was a threat to kill President Trump last month. Dana spent a week in jail, only to have the charges against him dropped Thursday.

Faruqui said the U.S. is “past the point of constitutional crisis,” as the Trump administration “is playing cops and robbers, like children” during the federal takeover of Washington’s police department.

The judge also criticized the Justice Department over the D.C. U.S. attorney’s multiple failed indictments in recent weeks, saying he had a “grave concern” that in a “rush to get stats on Twitter or Truth Social” touting the takeover, the Justice Department has not given time to those who have been “illegally detained.”

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro blasted Judge Faruqui in a statement posted to X:

Let me tell you about this Judge Faruqui…

This is a judge who by his own words is trying to justify felons illegally carrying firearms in one of the most violent cities in America.

He has repeatedly indicated his allegiance to those who violate the law and carry illegal guns, justifying the possession of these guns and constantly pushing for the release of these dangerous criminals back into our communities.

In speaking about a defendant possessing an illegal gun in his view if you are a felon just holding an illegal gun “I don’t think that makes you a danger” and “They said the worst thing a judge can have is (sic) they release somebody and they go out and they do something terrible. I don’t think that’s the worst thing. I think the worst thing is that I don’t give you a shot.”

This judge took an oath to follow the law, yet he has allowed his politics to consistently cloud his judgment and his requirement to follow the law. America voted for safe communities, law and order, and this judge is the antithesis of that.
