YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer CNN anchor and independent journalist Don Lemon predicted that President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice would find a way to charge him for an anti-ICE protest that disrupted a Minnesota church service despite the fact that a federal magistrate judge previously refused to approve a criminal complaint against him, saying prosecutors hadn’t shown probable cause.
“Look, I’m not naive. I think they’re probably going to try again and again, as they did with Tish James and Comey and everyone. If one doesn’t work, then they try something else and that fails, and they try something else and then they just don’t give up,” Lemon said last Friday in an interview with Scripps News.
Last night, Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles, California by federal agents and taken into custody.
