More DOJ fuckery

Of course, republicans don't want anything shining light on their supporters.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for investigating hate groups, has been accused by Republicans of unfairly targeting conservative and Christian organizations.....

civil rights group that has long tracked hate groups, said on Tuesday that it was under investigation by the Justice Department over its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist organizations.

Bryan Fair, the group's interim chief executive, said in a video that the Trump administration had “made no secret of who they want to protect and who they want to destroy.”

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was formed in 1971 in Alabama and is best known for investigating groups like the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacy organizations. In recent years, Republicans have accused the group of unfairly targeting conservative and Christian organizations, labeling them as extremists.

The criminal investigation comes as the Trump administration pushes to counter what it calls anti-Christian and anti-conservative bias in the government. Last week, the Justice Department issued a report highly critical of how the Biden administration prosecuted anti-abortion activists under a law meant to safeguard access to abortion providers and church services.

In his statement, Mr. Fair said the group no longer worked with paid informants but that those informants had “risked their lives to infiltrate and inform on the activities of our nation’s most radical and violent extremist groups.” That work, he insisted, saved lives.

“We will not be intimidated into silence or contrition, and we will not abandon our mission,” Mr. Fair said. “We will vigorously defend ourselves, our staff, and our work.”........

but he is an absolute Fascist himself. I hope to live to see him join many others in prison and disbarred.

Am I understanding this correctly? We are through the looking glass here.

What they're doing is claiming that the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi parties would have been innocent associations, if it wasn't for the nefarious infiltrators from the evil SPLC.

This is, of course, bollocks, but perhaps the DoJ's aim is to force the SPLC to defend itself by detailing how the informants worked, thus helping the DoJ's friends, like the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi parties, to detect infiltrators in the future, and maybe to take violent retribution on those who did it in the past.

wear freshly cleaned robes and hoods?

They have been trying to get rid of that entity for decades.

They hate being watched.
