Now, I agree with Charles.
I think there are a lot of things to be said about the importance of the First Amendment and a journalist role.
But the first thing that's on my mind today is that we're dealing with a lawless DOJ.
and that judges have been very much like lawyers on the other side, ACLU lawyers, legal defense fund lawyers, and people like that have been the ones that have been fighting truly with capes around their necks.
And there have been judges who have been willing to do the right thing, or in cases like this, even where
defendants don't have lawyers yet to speak up for them.
It appears that this judge found what they offered to be completely and totally lacking, like did not pass the smell test for their accusations, but that doesn't mean they won't try again.
And so I'm as sober about it today as I was yesterday, and I don't put anything past them.
We're going off of stories about what the rationale was and what the reasoning was.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm sure the lawyers who are directly involved have more information than people like Charles and I who are out here analyzing and opining.
But career defense lawyer agrees with career prosecutor that, you know, that nobody's sung the last song and the curtain's not down on this case.
So it's still a serious matter.
And that being said,
I believe that the more attention we place on this DOJ where an attorney general of the freaking United States has time to be giving personal updates on Twitter about arrests with
should be a civil violation at the most of protesters and bragging about trying to drag in journalists and include them as agitators where they're giving blow by blow and play by play.
This one's been arrested.
This one's been arrested.
I'm just wondering how many children have been kidnapped, not detained, but kidnapped right there in Minnesota since this DOJ has been paying attention to what happened on Sunday for
25, 30 minutes?
