When he said he was "doing journalism."Rrrright. But no, actually wrong. The grand jury does not determine guilt. The grand jury determines if there is enough of probable cause to press charges.
Please provide a link to this claim of his.
MOO
Ah, si that's just your creative interpretation of Lemon's statement. Get it.
No, because he can say that he is "doing protests" and that would not give him any claim of immunity.
I couldn't possibly agree more with Pastor Parnell. Utterly shameful conduct by every single one of them.
That could be a conflict of interest, if he was still in the office when the incident occurred.Facing charges over his presence at a church protest challenging the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, Mr. Lemon has hired as one of his defense lawyers a veteran criminal litigator who, until just weeks ago, was helping lead the prosecutorās office that has charged Mr. Lemon with felonies.
Joseph H. Thompson, a former senior federal prosecutor who resigned from the U.S. attorneyās office in Minnesota in mid-January over the Justice Departmentās handling of the immigration operation, has joined Mr. Lemonās defense team, according to a court filing.
Mr. Thompsonās appointment is the latest plot twist in a high-profile case that has been anomalous from the start. By representing the most prominent of nine defendants charged in the church protest case, Mr. Thompson will face off against a department that employed him for nearly 17 years. Mr. Thompson will work alongside Mr. Lemonās lead defense lawyer, Abbe Lowell.

Because he would know about the internal discussions regarding the case. If he resigned before the incident and wasn't there for the discussions, it would be okay.
The killing was on the 1/7. Thompson resigned a week later, but when was it effective?Obviously the Don Lemon incident happened after the killing of Renee, as the protesters were chanting about her killing in the church. It seems to have been the inspiration for their protest, and their outing of the pastor/director of ICE field operations.
Six federal prosecutors resigned at the same time as Joseph Thompson. January 13th. When a person resigns due to disagreeing with their employer, it is usual for them to leave right away. Their employer doesn't want a disagreeing person to continue to work in their midst.

It may be and it may no be. That is why I'm asking the question.
You would be wrong. I have seen enough problems that attorney's have faced, including a former PA Supreme Court Justice, with these kinds of issues.
It won't be up to me. but up to the prosecution. It is a question of timing and involvement.
