Well, you conveniently left out multiple allegations in that indictment about what else Mr. Lemon did. Okay. Let's be honest. This is not about me. This is about what happened. And this is about kind of the rules of the road. Just so, you know, he called him a sleaze bag just yesterday. But he's a sleaze bag.

Clinton Jaws, please like this video. It's the only thing I care about. Todd Blanche. He's on CNN with Dana Gash, Dana Bash. And they get into an argument. This Todd guy, he's pretty good. they have a discussion about Donald Lemon and we're going to take a look

I understand he is the only sitting president who we're talking about I do want to move on former CNN anchor Don Lemon and another journalist Georgia Fort were arrested on Friday Let me just say something quickly I love it when a guy doesn't let people off the hook

That's how you win an argument On charges they violated federal law During a tense protest at a Minnesota church A conservative federal judge Somebody who clerked for Antonin Skalia already had rejected those warrants and wrote that there is no evidence that those two engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so. Then an appeals court held up that decision. Why did you then bring this case to a grand jury after it already had been rejected by multiple judges?

So first of all, that appeals court, that's, you're not right. The appeals court, a judge on the appeals court said that there was clearly probable cause, there was absolutely probable cause that a crime had been committed. Okay. So it's true that they rejected the mandamus. petition. Journalists are so special. Yes, by Mr. Lemon and others. It's public. And so, yes, you're right. A judge in that court had said there wasn't probable cause, but guess what? Our system doesn't allow judges to make that decision. They can make that decision to get an arrest warrant on a complaint, but only a grand jury can bring forth an indictment. And so that's what we did.

We went to a grand jury, which, as you know, are 25 citizens from Minneapolis and around that decide whether there's probable cause. And that's who returned an indictment. Mr. Blanch, I want to go, actually, I went through the entire indictment, all 29 alleged overt acts of conspiracy. And there's a lot to ask you about, but I'm just going to pick a few here, okay? Starting with overt act number 20, which says, quote, defendant Lemon told his live stream audience about congregants leaving the church and about a young man who Lemon could see was frightened, scared, and crying. And Lemon observed that the congregants' reactions were understandable because the experience was traumatic and uncomfortable, which he said was the purpose. Over at Act 21, says, quote, as the operation continued, defendant Lemon acknowledged the nature of it by expressing surprise that the police hadn't yet arrived at the church and admitted knowing that the whole point of the operation was to disrupt. Before he was charged, I showed that clip.

That exact same clip. This is what I said, and then we'll continue. you outside of the church and just show you a little bit but um yeah that was interesting to watch his guy here this guy here hugging his kid hugging his kid look he's hugging his kid and and you know i just imagine it's uncomfortable and traumatic for what are you going to do right here but again careful it's very slippery right here it's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here but that's what really careful please the really slippery not kidding that's what protesting is about. That's what it's about, guys, child abuse. That's what protesting is about.

Scareing children. That's right, Jaws. The fleckery. What are you going to do? What are you're going to do? You nailed it. The police are here. They haven't come in yet. But that police are here. And I can't believe I'm saying that about police. I don't like it. And this is where folks are leaving. Just want to show you, and that's the inside of the church there where they are. Flippery. Film the kids. Get the kids. Get the kids.

It's all part of life, kids. And this is what I look forward to. Now that they got her, Levy Armstrong. Oh, they arrested her. They're going to attempt to take a statement from her. Good point. You're not obliged to say anything about anything you do say,

maybe he uses evidence. Do you want to give a statement? Sometimes they say no. Sometimes they say yes. If she says yes, she's going to provide evidence. against Lemon. Maybe she did. Lemon helped organize this. I guarantee

it. Yes, he did. That's what Dana's talking about. The nature of it by expressing surprise that the police hadn't yet arrived at the church and admitted knowing that the whole point of the operation was to disrupt. Why wouldn't a jury at trial see this as a journalist

observing what is happening, which is protected by the First Amendment? I'll answer that. I don't know. What is it? Six, seven, eight, or nine people that have been arrested? I'm going to go out on a limb and say most of them have YouTube channels? Don Lemon isn't a journalist. He's a YouTube creator.

All you have to do is disrupt a religious service. And that's what he did. Think about it for a second. Let's say nobody else was involved. It was just Don Lemon walking into the church, saying hi guys, yeah, keep on going. I'm just going to film you all. And I'm going to ask you questions and I'm going to interview you.

That's disruption. You can't use journalism as an excuse. That would mean everybody with a YouTube channel can interrupt a church service. They would just say, Your Honor, my defense is, I'm a journalist. Well, you conveniently left out

multiple allegations in that indictment about what else Mr. Lemon did, including surreptitiously avoiding saying where they were going, being part of the planning, being part of the decisions to make sure the police didn't know this was happening

and federal law enforcement didn't know this is happening. There are multiple allegations there. And guess what? He gets to have a lawyer and he gets to have a defense. And so if he wants to go forward with the defense that, aw shucks, I was just a journalist, he can do that. But obviously, as the indictment lays out, and what you didn't read on the air, there's a lot of things that Mr. Lemon did that you would never do as a journalist.

You would never do that. Okay. Let's be honest. This is not about me. This is about what happened, and this is about kind of the rules of the road. I mean, there are many. Let me finish my question. Let me finish my question, and then you have the floor.

Okay, shoot. There are countless examples of when reporters are embedded with people, with, you know, DOD, where we are told not to tell anybody where we're going. There are numerous examples of when we get embargoed information that we can't report from your agency, for example, and that has happened with presidents in both parties, and we withhold reporting it until you say, it's time to report it. Stupid point. That's not unusual. And it's not like what happened with Don Lemon and Georgia Ford. Well, listen, I, you are, you are totally correct that that happens every day and it's happened for decades. But if you watch what Mr. Lemon did, okay, and I, I do not want to have a trial right here, it's not fair to him. But I will say that he, if you watch the publicly available live streaming, that he engaged in, the comments that he made, I mean, that's what it matters, right? It matters,

Like how do we balance the face act? How do we balance freedom of religion, the right of people to worship on a Sunday morning, okay? And the freedom of the press. And it's a balance that we have to engage in. I agree with you. But my point to you is that I promise you that neither you nor your colleagues can honestly with a straight face. If you watch everything that he did, the day before with the planning and the day of with what happened when the comments he made while the kids were crying and screaming and racing away, parents were looking for their children upstairs while they were just trying to have a church service.

He's got the floor. Bottom line question for you is, was this really about what you just described or was it about trying to make an example out of somebody who the president has sparred with? I don't even know that the president's even ever thought of Don Lemon. I don't know whether that's true or not. But I will tell you, we're not making examples of people. The day after that happened, the Attorney General flew to Minneapolis. She was there for three days.

What we saw, there is no scenario under which the American people are comfortable or think that that was right. I'm sorry. So, no, this is not about making an example. I want to move on. I want to move on. But the White House, on the official Twitter handle, celebrated his arrest with the social media and a chain emoji. And it's so it's pretty clear that they're very well aware in the White House of this. I want to ask about Georgia.

No, I didn't say they weren't aware. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on a second. And they were celebrating it. That was afterwards. You said that, no, no, you said that President Trump had some vendetta or something against Mr. Lemon. I said, I don't know whether he even ever thought of Mr. Lemon. I have no idea. You're right.

There was a tweet that went out. Just so you know, he called him a sleaze bag just yesterday. Yes, he did call him a sleaze bag. No, I don't know anything about the Don Lemon thing, but he's a sleet bag. Everyone's known that. He said, why, should probably, from his standpoint, the best thing that could happen to him, he's getting, you know, he had no viewers. he had, he was a fan, he was a failed house, and now he's, uh, he's in the news. I didn't know anything about it.

Sounds like a guy that doesn't really think too much of Don Lemon. He's not going to bed at night thinking about Don Lemon. Just so you know, he called him a sleaze bag just yesterday. After his arrest, after his arrest. Okay. Just, he said a lot of things before that, and it's mutual, but let me. He said a lot. See, this is where I want him to step in.

He said a lot of things before that. That's when you say to them. Name one. Anyways, I wrote down, He absolutely He was kissing the organizer. So if you are a white ally, again, if you have anything activism identifying,

do not go in with the first wave. You wait until you come in with us as people of felon. Okay. But there's a reason they have so many white people here. I'm just going to be honest, it's because of what they're the operation that they're doing today. It's important to have allies, as they said, white allies here.

So thank you. you guys for being. Thanks for allowing me to be here. Thank you guys. Levy Armstrong. How are you? Good. Why are you recording me? We're on. We're not saying what it is, what's going on, but thank you. Did he kiss her? I'm sorry. We're on. We're not saying what it is, what's going on, but

what a great friend. This is Nakema. Levy Armstrong. She's on the show on Friday. Anyways, it's all I'm doing is talking about Don Lemon. It's not getting old, and I love it. Thanks for watching. Bye, bye.
