Don Lemon in the Can, slammer, the hole, the clink...

NOW - Today, the U.S. Justice Department will release over 3 million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos from the Epstein files.

NOW - Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Epstein files: "[Trump's] direction to the Department of Justice was to be as transparent, release the files, be as transparent as we can. And that's exactly what we did."

Loyalty is EVERYTHING…

BILL GATES IS IN YUUUGE TROUBLE!!!🤣🤣🤣

In a rare statement that clearly conveys the depths of his anger over the latest Epstein files release, a spokesperson for the Microsoft billionaire told the Daily Mail: 'These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false. 'The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.'  https://mol.im/a/15514221

DOGE: The drive-by media maligned DOGE for trying to get to the bottom of waste, fraud, and abuse. Turns out they were right. CFO of USAFD was taking kickbacks. He locked DOGE out of the building to cover up his crimes. Mathieu Zahui admitted his crimes and will be going to jail.

Summary of Don Lemon's Federal Case (as of January 30, 2026)
Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor now working as an independent journalist, was arrested by federal agents on January 29-30, 2026, in Los Angeles while covering the Grammy Awards. He faces federal charges stemming from his coverage of a January 18, 2026, anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where protesters disrupted a worship service. The church has a pastor who serves as an acting field director for ICE's St. Paul office, and the protest involved chanting slogans and confronting congregants over immigration enforcement policies under the Trump administration.
Charges (from the grand jury indictment unsealed January 30, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota):
Conspiracy to deprive rights (18 U.S.C. § 241, a felony involving conspiracy against constitutional rights, here focused on religious freedom).
Violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act (18 U.S.C. § 248), applied here to alleged interference with religious worship rights through force, threats, intimidation, or obstruction (typically used for clinic access but extended to places of worship in this context).
Lemon was livestreaming the event with a producer and has insisted he was acting solely as a journalist, not participating in or conspiring with protesters. Co-defendants include independent journalist Georgia Fort and several protest organizers/participants (totaling 7-9 people indicted).
Procedural History (combining initial rejections and revival):
Prosecutors first sought criminal complaints and arrest warrants in Minnesota federal court in late January 2026.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko rejected warrants/charges against Lemon (and others like his producer), finding insufficient probable cause—no evidence of criminal conduct, conspiracy, or intent by Lemon as a journalist covering the event.
Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz (nominated by President George W. Bush, Republican, confirmed 2006) rebuked the DOJ's unusual attempts to escalate (including a mandamus petition to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals), describing aspects as unprecedented and noting no evidence of criminal behavior by journalists involved. The 8th Circuit rejected the DOJ's push to force warrants.
The DOJ then pursued a grand jury indictment (a standard alternative path when magistrates deny complaints), securing it around January 29, 2026. This provided probable cause for arrest warrants, leading to Lemon's arrest.
Release and Next Steps:
On January 30, 2026, Lemon appeared in federal court in Los Angeles before U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue (nominated by President Barack Obama, confirmed 2014), who released him on personal recognizance (no bail or bond required). Prosecutors' request for a $100,000 bond was denied. Conditions are minimal: no contact with victims/witnesses/co-defendants, court permission for international travel (with an exception for a planned France trip), and no significant pretrial supervision.
Lemon's defense team (including Abbe Lowell and local counsel Marilyn Bednarski) vows to fight vigorously, arguing First Amendment protections for journalism, lack of criminal intent/participation, and potential overreach by the DOJ under Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Next court date: February 9, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (Minneapolis). This is his initial appearance/arraignment in the charging district—procedural, not a trial. He is expected to plead not guilty, with possible scheduling of pretrial motions (e.g., to dismiss on constitutional grounds), discovery, or trial timelines. No specific presiding judge has been publicly assigned yet for this date (dockets often finalize closer to proceedings; magistrates like Micko handle early steps, while district judges oversee major issues).
