Description

The SPLC was indicted on 11 federal fraud counts. And Kash Patel — who filed a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic earlier that day — was standing at the podium. Former prosecutor and civil rights attorney Melba Pearson breaks down what the indictment actually charges, why the legal theory is weaker than the press conference suggests, what legitimate informant programs look like, and why you can believe the conduct was real AND believe this prosecution is politically motivated — at the same time.

I’ve donated to SPLC for 20 years and know that their work is extremely important. I trust that they have used the donations appropriately. The lawsuit is BS by and for racists!

I think I will make a donation to the SPLC. Thanks again Melba

As a Canadian, I wonder why anyone would stand by and accept this sort of blatant, politically motivated and unjust action against an outstanding and successful check on all hate groups.
