BREAKING: Don Lemon Arrested On Federal Charges

The long and winding road of Don Lemon's arrest came to an end in Los Angeles overnight. It started at Cities Church in the Twin Cities and wended through three different court venues. The end of the road came at the Grammy Awards, which Lemon apparently had been covering for his YouTube channel.

What a long, strange trip it's been, indeed:

The former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late Thursday night on charges that he violated federal law during a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn., his lawyer said, in a case rejected last week by a magistrate judge.

Mr. Lemon has said he was simply reporting as a journalist when he entered the Cities Church on Jan. 18 to observe a demonstration against the immigration crackdown in the area.

While those willing to acknowledge it "know" that in some degree Lemon was an instigator or planner, there is a large gap between "knowing" and proving something in court beyond a reasonable doubt. OTOH, if Lemon tries to "prove" he was just a journalist, he may expose the degree to which "reporters work hand-in-glove with organizers of things they report. I'm not sure Lemon and Lowell are smart enough to avoid that risk.

Lemon was not the only one arrested:

Church invasion suspect arrested by feds is woke Minneapolis prosecutor's right-hand man

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Friday morning the arrests of several radicals who allegedly stormed Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on Jan. 18.

One of Don Lemon's fellow arrestees, Jamael Lydell Lundy, is a newly announced Democratic candidate for the Minnesota Senate who previously worked for Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum and now serves as the right-hand man for Mary Moriarty, Hennepin County’s Soros-backed prosecutor.

Moments prior to the church invasion, Lundy told Lemon on camera, "I’m here to support our community activists," reported the New York Post.
...
"We all we got," continued Lundy. "I'm actually married to an elected official; I work closely with elected officials, but direct action from the community, certainly within the lines of the law, is so important to show that we have one voice."

In footage of the subsequent church invasion, Lundy appears fully engaged in the mob's disruption of the Christian service and the parishioners' worship, pumping his fist in the air and shouting near the altar.

It's "interesting" how interconnected the church-attack leaders are with MN state officials.
