Don Lemon, a disgraced former CNN anchor, was arrested Thursday night in Los Angeles, according to news reports.
Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement released Friday morning:
Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy award. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.
Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.
Hopefully, Don will fight these charges until he’s bankrupt. He spent the night in police custody and is expected to make a court appearance Friday morning.
Far-left CBS News says the FBI and HIS (Homeland Security) conducted the arrest in Los Angeles. The specific charges have not been released, but it is believed he will be charged with what’s known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, or the Enforcement Act of 1871, which outlaws interfering with civil rights, like religious worship.
Lemon was part of a gang of January 18 rioters who stormed St. Paul’s Cities Church earlier this month. The Trump administration said this was a violation of the FACE Act. Lemon defended himself, saying he was only covering the riot and not a participant.

He will be charged with violating the Ku Klux Klan Act. Ah, such sweet irony!
Don will enjoy some aspects of prison life
Its going to be all in good fun, the media re engaged in TDS with a drumset at the first of the year. About time someone get to take a case up and down the federal court on liberal crowdfunding.
US 18 241
Unlike most conspiracy laws, Section 241 does not require that an overt act be committed to further the conspiracy; the agreement itself is enough.
Section 18 always needs to be reviewed, and bad cases do make good case law. He will not go to jail, and it will be 2029 before a verdict or DOJ drops it.
I only wish he had been arrested at a gay bathhouse after a towel snapping duel got out of hand in an argument of an underage lover.
More his style.
Fundamentally.
“Abbe the Marxist” Lowell is Lemon’s shyster. Won’t that be a hoot to watch!
The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.
The First Amendment is not specific to journalists as the line above suggests. Someone who calls themselves a journalist has the same rights as someone who does not.
Jarred of Subway fame has a foot long waiting for him.
first amendment Information Gathering: While the press has the same rights as the public to record in public spaces, they are not always guaranteed special access to restricted locations or records.
There...fixed.
Andrew Breitbart must’ve rolling in his grave having a stenographer like Nolte published in his paper.
Don had advance notice as to where and when the crime would take place. He participated in the crime and chose not to warn the crime victims they were targeted.
He was not stopped from reporting on the events he took part in. His right to free speech was never violated.
Yes not all places except the bogus race card good deal.
Exactly. The first amendment allows journalists to observe, report, and even opine.
My guess is that he was somehow “involved” in the organization of this event. If they can show any communication where he said something like, “Yeah…and we should go at 9AM when church starts…”, he would not like how that is going to work out.
But, folks on Jan 6th got in trouble for “being there”, so who knows?
Buck and Clay show talked about the J6 Political Prisoners who tried to use the Journalism defense. All eight people who tried failed to prevent the railroad train from running over them.
Yeah, but being a democrat, that wouldn’t make any difference.
He’ll get off either way.
Morals, ethics, and laws are only for Republicans anyways.

Homosexuals and Democrats are of the spirit of antichrist.
GAY Don Lemon is BOTH.
That’s why they worship Godless Reprobate LGBTQ+
and Godless PLANNED SLAUGHTERHOOD ABORTION
This is a Grand Jury indictment
I’m guessing that they saw transcripts of
GAY Don Lemon plotting / planning with others
to violate the FACE ACT and purposely
disrupt Church Services with congregants
That’s why he was taken into custody IMHO

Hope that they Charge this Democrat Poofter with BOTH
