They were paying people to infiltrate the KKK and Nazi groups. It is the same as the arson investigator paying someone to hang out with the kids who play with matches to see who is starting the fires.

The only "criminal" thing they did was encouraging non-white people to use their right to vote. How dare they do such a thing before the mid-term elections!

I never doubted for a second that someone at the DoJ wrote a bunch of words. Unfortunately we have good cause to call them into question.

True. Legal reporting has been focusing on the “presumption of regularity” as having been eroded significantly by this administration.

“The presumption of regularity (omnia praesumuntur rite et solemniter esse acta) is a legal principle assuming that public officials and government agencies properly perform their duties, act in good faith, and follow legal procedures.”

Is there even the slightest bit of proof to this claim? Has SPLC released details on this yet?

Because the crime is not sending KKK and neonazi groups more than a million dollars.

It’s that the committed wire fraud and money laundering to do it - allegedly.

The indictment is linked above. You should read it.

How dishonest are you? Very. Here is a copy-paste _from the indictment itself_ :

"In 2014, F-9 entered the headquarters of a violent extremist group and stole 25 boxes of their documents. F-9 coordinated payment for the copying of the materials with a high-level SPLC employee who had knowledge the documents had been stolen."

Right back at you.
