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.

Any charges are utterly baseless. This is an open and close case of a would-be fascist, very racist regime taking wildly illegal actions to try to suppress dissent and fuel fear.
Source familiar with Don Lemon's arrest tells me DOJ went to a grand jury to secure an indictment (DOJ's effort to get a criminal complaint had already been rejected in court twice).
This is ugly. More soon.
