Bad company: Don Lemon criminal case update.

Breaking News: Don Lemon and his co-defendants banded together this week to oppose the Government’s request for a brief extension of time (15 days) to respond to the defendants’ excessive number of filings (101 pretrial motions). The Judge promptly granted the motion, which was predictable. Why did Lemon sacrifice his credibility to make such a meaningless stand? And why has Lemon continued to ignore the Judge’s guidance? I break it all down! 0:04 Lemon and co-defendants’ huge number of filings (101 pretrial motions) force Government to request brief extension of time to respond. 0:45 Useless to oppose such brief extensions of time, as Courts usually grant them. 1:20 Lemon and co-defendants lost credibility with their petty opposition to the Government’s reasonable request. 2:18 Weeks ago, Judge disapproved of Lemon’s trial strategy of separating journalist-defendants from activist-defendants. 2:51 Recently, the Government indicated it views Lemon and co-defendant Georgia Fort as “agitators,” not mere journalists covering an event. 3:21 Government’s case against Georgia Fort is stronger than the case against Lemon, which seems to be why Judge indicated, weeks ago, that Lemon should seek a plea deal. 4:34 Co-defendants seek suppression of evidence obtained through administrative subpoenas. 5:33 Even if defendants win suppression, the Government has enough evidence to convict.
