He was taken into custody while covering the Grammys.

He has been charged with conspiracy to deprive rights.

I have been saying this from the start!!!!!

just like they did the proud boys after J6 that WERE NOT EVEN THERE at the capital! who got the longest sentences!!!

all of these leftists messaging each other about how best to obstruct justice have opened themselves up to RICO and conspiracy charges. Throw the book at them! and anyone funding them!

They couldn’t show the perp walk. As soon as they put the cuffs on him he got a boner.

They are being very careful about saying “taken into custody.” They didn’t use the word “arrested.” Maybe Lemon will be charged with something. But it sounds more like they are taking him in for questioning. He’ll lawyer-up so that he doesn’t self-incrimminate.

Ohhhh, he is going to squeal like he stepped on a thumbtack. LOL

This is the best thing that has happened to him in a long time. All of a sudden, people are paying attention to him.

Word is, that at his request, the arresting authorities took him from the rear.
