Harry Litman - When Life Gives You Lemons, Act Like Total Lawless Jerks

For starters, U.S. attorneys general don’t put their names at the top of federal indictments, as Pam Bondi did on the indictment of Don Lemon filed last Thursday.

That’s just the first in a series of glaring irregularities in the indictment of Don Lemon (and Minnesota local journalist Georgia Fort) last Friday.

That series tends to demonstrate that the prosecution, which career prosecutors advised Bondi against, has nothing to do with the standard work of the Department of Justice. It is something else entirely: a performance, carefully staged by Pam Bondi to impress an audience of one—Donald Trump.

Bondi announced the charges Trump-style on X, explicitly claiming credit for the operation: “At my direction, early this morning, federal agents arrested Don Lemon … in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
