DOJ is trying to pass partial disclosure & illegal redactions off as “full compliance” with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Don Lemon from inside the Minnesota church protest: “I’m just here photographing. I’m a journalist. We’re here just chronicling & reporting”

Going to be difficult to assert that he was doing anything other than reporting on the event in his capacity as a journalist

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Fellow journalists as soon as we find out a way to financially support Georgia Fort’s legal defense fund we need to boost it as much as possible. I doubt she has the resources Lemon might have. We need to support both of them but she’s not nearly as well known as Don Lemon.

Yes — that's why I hope folks focus on indy journalist Georgia Fort, arrested for covering the same church protest, an Emmy award winner who went out on her own to focus on social justice issues — & does not have the vast resources and celebrity lawyer available to her that Lemon has.
This is about forcing Don Lemon to spend money and time defending himself.

"“They probably don’t have any expectation that this prosecution will stick," legal expert tells me. "But they do know they will put Don Lemon through the grinder in the meantime."

DOJ is Trump's personal law firm that we pay for. Free for him to use its unlimited resources to harass people like Lemon, Lisa Cook or Comey. We collectively pay the price both in our taxes and in losing a nonpartisan legal system. The individual victims must pay ruinous financial costs and stress.

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.
