   They're considering taking it to a real judge, since   
   the "judge" in question is actually a magistrate, and   
   he has a conflict of interest since his wife works as   
   an assistant attorney general in the Minnesota Attorney   
   General Keith Ellison's office.   
      
   You'd think an honest "mainstream" media would be on   
   top of that story, but no. The only place I could find   
   it was here:   
      
   Headline: "Wife of judge who refused to sign off on   
   Don Lemon charges is Asst AG to Keith Ellison: report"   
      
   [excerpt] The magistrate who refused to sign off on   
   charges brought by the Department of Justice against   
   Don Lemon for storming into a church in St. Paul,   
   Minnesota has been identified as Magistrate Judge   
   Douglas Micko, and his wife reportedly works as the   
   assistant attorney general in Keith Ellison's office.   
      
   Micko's wife, Caitlin Micko, has also shown support   
   for anti-ICE posts on LinkedIn, according to a report   
   from Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec. [end excerpt]   
      
   https://thepostmillennial.com/new-wife-of-judge-who-refused-to-s   
   gn-off-on-don-lemon-charges-is-asst-ag-to-keith-ellison-report   
      
   There's also this, from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin:   
      
   [quoting] "Multiple sources tell me & colleague David   
   Spunt that the federal magistrate in Minnesota who   
   refused to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon   
   is Douglas L. Micko and that his wife works as an   
   Assistant Attorney General in Minnesota AG Keith   
   Ellison's office." [end excerpt]

   Once again, it's a Fox News reporter who has this   
   information and is reporting it, while the remaining   
   LIARS in the LYING "mainstream" media have nothing to   
   say about it.

   They're going to get him on something. The problem   
   Don Lemon has is that he was not acting as an impartial   
   journalist who just happened to be on the scene and   
   reported it without participating. The problem for Don   
   Lemon is that he was arguing with people at the church.   
   He made himself a participant in that unlawful invasion   
   of that church.

   He can be overruled by a real judge. One thing is for   
   certain, the DOJ is not going to just let this go   
   without a fight.
