Soon after the unsealing of the grand jury indictment returned against Don Lemon, the left launched a two-track media blitz to defend the former CNN pundit. A cacophony of “journalists” falsely claimed the Trump Administration charged Lemon for exercising his First Amendment right to freedom of the press. Simultaneously, some big names, such as Jake Tapper and George Stephanopoulos, framed the grand jury indictment as somehow suspect because several judges had earlier refused to issue an arrest warrant for Lemon. Neither narrative holds merit.
