Whoops, I guess i typed too fast. I meant to say, "Judge FUCKING REJECTS Trump DOJ's attempt indict Don Lemon"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/22/don-lemon-minnesota-protest-not-charged

"Judge declines to sign off on charges against former CNN anchor Don Lemon

Refusal to approve charges against Lemon in connection with Minnesota protest reportedly ‘enraged’ Pam Bondi"

i've been skeptical of the theory against Lemon. what did he do that warrants arrest? the arrest of the interruptors is easy to justify.

still, if you would, give me the name of the Magistrate Judge who denied the request. and tell if that very Magistrate was on record saying he wanted to oppose Trump.

you've been skeptical of it? could it be because it's a fucking joke just like 99% of the weaponized prosecutions of this administration?

he was running around uninvited as part of a group that was clearly interrupting the service -- which was a clear crime.

i'm skeptical because i assume the federal courts will grant a journalist some latitude unless he was a ring leader or was particularly aggressive.

can some crim law masterman explain this? Harmeet says COA says there *was* PC to arrest Don Lemon but the court declines to order the magistrate to sign the warrant.

looks like the 8th ruled that DOJ has another avenue -- asking the USDC judge below to reject the Magistrate's ruling, so the DOJ's request for appellate relief is premature.

one of the appellate judges wanted to let the court below know that he sees an easy PC issue. who knows if the other two appellate judges see it that way.

the presiding judge below, Schiltz, was dealing with his mentally disabled kid when DOJ asked for a quick reversal of the Magistrate judge's decision.

lol @ getting the District Court overrule the Mag.

I've had cases where the Mag CLEARLY misstated the law, and the District Judge still followed his ruling by saying that the error was "Harmless".
