Trump’s Agents Arrested Don Lemon. Then the Story Got Even Darker.

But now the story is getting even darker. The Justice Department went to a grand jury to get an indictment, according to a source familiar with the situation. Lemon’s arrest was executed after 11 p.m. on Thursday night at his hotel in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammys, the source continues, adding: “This appears to be about maximum humiliation.”

What’s more, Bondi herself just tweeted that this arrest was carried out “at my direction,” without explaining the charges. That, plus the odd, abrupt circumstances of the apprehension, strongly suggests that this is being carried out as a show arrest—the equivalent of a show trial—to excite and titillate Trump and MAGA.

Remember, not long after the protest at the church, Trump raged at Lemon as a “loser and a lightweight” and absurdly claimed that heroic ICE agents are getting “abused by people like Don Lemon,” who is a critic of ICE. This disgusting Trump outburst, of course, greatly excited MAGA media. Bondi appears to be arresting a journalist for the express purpose of exciting them further.
