I’m a big 1st Amendment advocate, all five elements are important to me. Journalists are arrested pretty often, although they’re not usually as well-known as Don Lemon is. Sometimes they’re arrested wrongfully because they broke no laws and they win in court. Sometimes they did break the law and they’re convicted. I don’t know all of the details about Don Lemon here, like for example whether or not the church asked them all to leave. But even if not, it is very possible he broke the law and could be convicted.
I know a lot about the first amendment, I’ve been watching legal analysis for years. There’s really no question he committed a federal crime. I’m unclear whether or not there are additional crimes. Can you tell me why you think he didn’t?
The alarming element is that a judge had already rejected the charges - source
As has been seen repeatedly with this administration, they will keep harping on the DOJ to do illegal things, like with the Comey case where they illegally installed an AG cause everyone else wasn’t willing to touch the case.

“I didn’t do any research but here’s my uniformed opinion on why this isn’t as bad as it sounds.”

What federal crime exactly, be specific in your admittedly uneducated bullshit.
Keep in mind you already said you didn’t know much about this particular situation.
