The SPLC has filed its motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution. https://t.co/0KzAZHFX1x pic.twitter.com/j4wEDraNpN

Interesting tidbit on SPLC. Bill Cooper was a Vietnam Veteran, Naval Intelligence Officer, radio host, author, government watchdog / whistleblower in the 90's that was shot and killed in his driveway in late 2001. In mid 2001 Cooper predicted the 9/11 attacks on his radio show and even went so far to say that it would be blammed on a guy named Osama Bin Laden. I don't believe in coincidences or blind luck of this nature, but whatever. In an Arizona newspaper article covering the shooting, the spokesman for "the group that watches militias" was "Mark Potok of the Souther Poverty Law Center". His comments were intended to discredit and villianize Cooper after the incident.

Are any actual people being prosecuted?

Dumb question, why are they asking SPLC for correspondence that should be available through FOIA?

---

FOIA applies to federal agencies which SPLC is not.

But since they are asking for communications with federal agencies those federal agencies should have copies of those same communications.

IMO this is about putting the workload to get that info on SPLC and to see what they might try to "forget".

Prediction the 9/11 stacks and that BinLaden would be behind it isn't a bold prediction. Remember he was already the architect of the 91 bombing of the WTC with the Ryder truck in the basement garage.

Re: "The SPLC has filed its motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution."

Did not a federal judge dismiss trafficking charges against Abrego Garcia siting this "reason?"

If the SPLC gets a judge to dismiss the case using this same excuse/defense.... Trump and every Trump associate that have been dogged by the feds and states since 2015 need to employ this same "vindictive and selective prosecution" defense.

You are trying way to hard to spin this. If everything they were doing was legal and above board they wouldn't be hiding money in the Caymans.

I'm not trying to spin anything. It's a criminal prosecution. SPLC are claiming that that these expenditures are for paying informants. I'm stating that I believe that if the government can prove that they were actually to incite criminality, than they will be able to secure convictions. If they are unable accomplish that, I think that the prosecution will fail.

You disappeared. Anything you want to add given what's gone out? Guessing talking points aren't out yet.

All this stuff is clearly illegal. I have no love for SPLC and am not carrying water for them. I still don't think that charges of using donor funds to pay for Nazi informants is going to stick.

It certainly appears to be.

Because, when SPLC refused to give them the documents, now they get to ask for a subpoena for those documents.

And, if SPLC responds to that subpoena and says that the documents don't exist, but they show up in FOIA, then the SPLC gets smoked.

Bessent desperately needs to hire Elliot Ness's grandson to head up the civil forfeiture division and just start taking all of the assets from all of these slimeball organizations.

SPLC President gets humiliated; room erupts in laughter.

They are blatant hypocrites. It's about time someone called them out.

I am glad the DOJ indicted the SPLC with 11 counts of fraud and money laundering charges. I hope this results in a criminal conviction and prison time for every current or former SPLC member who is involved.
