The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted on federal fraud charges that accused it of illegally raising millions of dollars to pay informants in white supremacist and other extremist groups, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said.An Alabama grand jury returned an indictment on April 21 with 11 counts of wire fraud, making false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to the Justice Department (DOJ).Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said SPLC used paid operatives within extremist circles to incite and intensify racial tensions, arguing the group fostered the very threats it claimed to fight.“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” Blanche said in a statement.
And I'm sure we'd all be impressed at the lifestyle those at the top of SPLC enjoyed.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) laid out what he called a deliberate decision by the Biden Justice Department to abandon an active investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center. He argued the organization had become embedded so deeply into the Justice Dept.'s operations that prosecuting it would have meant prosecuting one of the DOJ's own political allies.Jordan pointed directly to the now-infamous Jan. 23, 2023, memorandum from the Richmond FBI field office, which cited the SPLC as a source and used it to justify targeting pro-life Catholics as potential extremists and domestic threats. "That memo says, if you're a pro-life Catholic, well, you're an extremist, you're dangerous," Jordan said. "The SPLC became part of the weaponized effort of the Garland Biden Justice Department against the American people."Jordan then dropped what may be the most damning detail yet: The Biden DOJ had opened an investigation into the SPLC and knew it was a racket — only to quietly kill the inquest. "They had opened an investigation. They were looking into this group. They knew the Southern Poverty Law Center was running a scam, but they dropped the case," Jordan said. The reason, Jordan pointed out, was brazen and simple: "When you meet with them, consult with them, have them train your prosecutors, well, guess what? You're not gonna prosecute them."
