Don Lemon arrested for covering a protest on Trump’s orders

The second bite of the sour apple got the flagrant First Amendment violation Trump wanted:

In what appears to be a major escalation, President Trump’s federal agents arrested journalist Don Lemon on Thursday night, his lawyer confirmed in a statement. As of now, the details pertaining to the arrest are fuzzy, but the charge appears to be that he violated federal law while covering an anti-ICE protest.

This saga began on January 18, when protesters interrupted a service in a St. Paul church by chanting against ICE. Lemon covered the event: Video shows him interviewing the pastor, who called the protests “shameful.” What’s odd about this is that a magistrate judge refused earlier this month to approve a criminal complaint against Lemon, and this was subsequently rejected by an appeals court, as well.

But now the story is getting even darker. The Justice Department went to a grand jury to get an indictment, according to a source familiar with the situation. Lemon’s arrest was executed after 11 p.m. on Thursday night at his hotel in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammys, the source continues, adding: “This appears to be about maximum humiliation.”

What’s more, Bondi herself just tweeted that this arrest was carried out “at my direction,” without explaining the charges. That, plus the odd, abrupt circumstances of the apprehension, strongly suggests that this is being carried out as a show arrest—the equivalent of a show trial—to excite and titillate Trump and MAGA.

Remember, not long after the protest at the church, Trump raged at Lemon as a “loser and a lightweight” and absurdly claimed that heroic ICE agents are getting “abused by people like Don Lemon,” who is a critic of ICE. This disgusting Trump outburst, of course, greatly excited MAGA media. Bondi appears to be arresting a journalist for the express purpose of exciting them further.

Well, I guess it’s time for another round of the TWITTER FILES!
