Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to back down Friday after a federal magistrate judge declined to sign off on criminal charges against former CNN anchor Don Lemon, whom she accused of “terrorizing” parishioners during an anti-ICE protest inside a Minneapolis church.

Appearing on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Bondi sharply criticized Lemon and others involved in the incident, which she framed as an attack on a religious institution. “They burst in through all doors, including Don Lemon, and started harassing and antagonizing and terrorizing these parishioners,” Bondi said Friday. “We are coming after you if you participated in that.”

Bondi continued to escalate her rhetoric, accusing protesters of being “staged” inside the church and claiming one parishioner “ran out the back door scared to death and broke her arm.” The attorney general then singled out Lemon while dismissing his claim that he was present only to document the scene as a journalist.

“I don’t care who you are – if you’re a failed CNN journalist – you have no right to do that in this country,” she told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

We're all coming after you. You will reap what you have sown. Justice may be slow, but it's coming.

8. At a certain point doesn't this become . . .

. . . evidence of prosecutorial bias? Don't judges and juries frown on that?

[BumRushDaShow]

9. There have been well over a thousand cases

and yes, some of the judges were like WTF? and threw the case out. We don't hear about all those small ones that ended like that.

I did see a case from yesterday (too late to post in LBN) where a judge threw out the DOJ suit against GA for not giving them their voter rolls! Republican-Appointed Judge Tosses Trump Admin’s Voter Lawsuit

(in that case, the suit was apparently filed in the "wrong court" but it goes to show how bumbling they are)
