    The SPLC is literally comprised of top-tier attorneys who will wipe the floor with the DOJ in court

      Thats not the point.

      The point is that the DOJ now sends a bunch of people to harass and assault anybody associated with the SPLC. Doesnt matter if the DOJ looses, they dont care about that, just dragging the case out to cost the SPLC money.

        I don’t know if those claims hold water. Who is assaulting people associated with the SPLC again? And the costs associated with litigation are largely attorney’s fees…

          uh huh, im sure you dont.

          Who is assaulting people associated with the SPLC again?

          The federal government, who have demonstrated that they are downright eager to harrass, assault and/or execute anybody who isnt particularly fond of Nazis or the KKK, or christofascists in general (or who embarrasses them in any way).

          And the costs associated with litigation are largely attorney’s fees…

          Sure, which the SPLC now has to spend defending itself against spurious lawsuits instead of helping people.

          The Fed doesnt care about the cost, they can make taxpayers pay for it. They dont care if they win or lose, winning or losing isnt the point (although the courts may be corrupt enough anyways).

        This article doesn’t use the word “terror.” Is the DOJ really using that word somewhere?

        Wouldn’t using that word be an admission that the National Alliance and/or the Ku Klux Klan were terrorists? I bet this regime doesn’t want to do that.

        The charges are that they “defrauded donors” by paying informants in right-wing hate groups, and somehow wire fraud for paying those informants. Whether any of that is actually illegal is dubious
