Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon reveals that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the DOJ established probable cause to charge Don Lemon, among several others. However, they refused to order a lower court to sign arrest warrants.

They alleged that the defendants were unlawfully interfering with the churchgoers’ constitutionally-protected freedom to practice religion.

This is after Democrats threw old women into prison for years for praying in front of an abortion clinic under the same statute.
It’s not clear what the Justice Department will do next.
