[U] DoJ: Weaponizing Criminal Law — Against Investigators, Of White Supremacy Groups…

For over a decade, John Hinderaker has complained that the Southern Poverty Law Center had labeled his blog… a racial hate site.

My reaction? “One cannot libel… garbage by saying it… stinks.

[Truth is an absolute defense under US law, that is.]

Minor update @ 10 pm EDT — no surprise here at all Bill G. over at Powerline gets the story completely wrong… He has no idea what he’s talking about. Yet he blathers on and on… that the KKK itself was/is a “hoax.” What a stupid tool.

Bill conveniently fails to mention that his boss, Hinderaker — regularly complained about the “unfairness” of being labeled as a hate site by the SPLC — for about three years from 2016 to 2019. John didn’t think they were an hoax at all. End, silly updated portion.

Tonight, it seems John has gotten Kash Patel, Todd Blanche and the boys… to indict the SPLC — on preposterous charges of not being truthful with their donors.

The claim is that SPLC was required (under federal criminal laws) to tell its donors that some small part of the organization’s funds would be used to recruit and keep… “double agents” / informants… inside hate groups like the various KKK chapters and the “Unite The Right” a-holes, who attacked peaceful demonstrators in 2018, in Charlottesville, VA — during Trump 1.0.

It is obvious that no crime occurred (and it is obvious why one would not out its double agents here — on pain of likely death!), but Todd Blanche’s homie-indictments have been handed up, tonight. They will be shortly dismissed — by right thinking USDC Judges.

This is simply Trump’s ongoing demonization campaign, against any organization that criticizes him and his minions, as racists.

Do note that organizations on the right including Tom Fitton’s JudicialWatch, and Kevin O’Keefe’s “fraudulent left group” Project Veritas, were never charged (under Messrs. Biden or Obama), after using organization funds to run “double-agent” programs against ACORN, among others. [And they lied on video about what they were doing.] No, they were caught spending donations on orgies and the like — that’s what ended them.
