TRUMP DOJ secures warrant against Don Lemon
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 22nd, 2026 4:50 PM Author: carmine beady-eyed toaster 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" |
Date: January 22nd, 2026 4:54 PM Author: Cracking area 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. |

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. |

Date: January 25th, 2026 8:32 PM Author: Cracking area 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.
