We've known for years that the SPLC was a hate group, but we didn't know it was taking taxpayer donations and paying the leaders of hate groups to keep its grift rolling. "Fusion" Ken Dilanian survived the move from MSNBC to MS NOW, and he's wondering if Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's "enforcer" put pressure on prosecutors to indict the SPLC on 11 counts, including wire fraud and bank fraud, despite "concerns" about that case revealed by a whistleblower.
New: Did Todd Blanche’s DOJ enforcer pressure prosecutors to bring the SPLC indictment despite concerns about that case? https://t.co/YbZ5Kj7Roy

Dilanian reports for MS NOW:
A senior Trump administration Justice Department official ordered federal prosecutors in Alabama to “rush through” a controversial indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center despite concerns about the strength of the case, according to a description of a whistleblower account obtained exclusively by MS NOW.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, ranking Democrat on the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, describe the whistleblower allegations in a letter sent Thursday to Kevin Davidson, the acting U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Alabama.
“According to whistleblower information provided to this Committee, Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh ordered your office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama, to rush through the indictment of the SPLC, despite serious concerns about the strength of the case,” the letter said.
We can never keep up … are whistleblowers good again?
The SPLC literally opened up bank accounts in the name of fake photography businesses to pay people in hate groups -- it is absolute textbook financial fraud. The media attempts to make the case seem doubtful are pretty desperate. https://t.co/VWZmj3KD5H

If I did this I think I might get in trouble.

FK, a grand jury thought the evidence was strong enough to bring charges. Did Singh "pressure" the grand jury too?

Ken, did you ask Raskin his thoughts on how the informants were being paid?

The BANKS reported them. You act like it was some type of DOJ scheme.

Old: Did the Biden DOJ pressure prosecutors to not pursue an indictment against the SPLC despite its criminal activities?
— Justin Harris (@JustinAulden) May 2, 2026
It’s straightforward fraud. The amount of spin the media is doing is amazing.

No, idiot Fusion Ken Dilanian...SPLC was indicted by a grand jury.
— Gerd Hansma (@gmanndo) May 1, 2026
Grand Jury apparently agreed. A trial will determine the outcome. Just like it's supposed to work.

You do know what a Grand Jury is and does, right? 🤨

So … you have no idea what a grand jury is apparently.

A Grand Jury indicted.
— BLOCL 🇺🇸 (@bloc1264) May 1, 2026
Why is the media defending the pro-hate group SPLC?
Do you think the DOJ also pressured a Grand Jury to hand down the indictment? Or are you just ignoring that FACT?
— Susan Giannini (@SusanGiannini8) May 1, 2026
What an absolute embarrassment you are...
If there was enough evidence for a grand jury to give the green light, then it is good enough to bring a case against them.

Ken Dilanian and NBC being shameless as always, defending scammers and lowlifes in the form of SPLC
You mean “did a grand jury indict after having found the government proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt”
— PuckLuckBitch🌸🇺🇸 (@puckluckbitch) May 1, 2026
Why yes, Kenny, yes they did.
Did a grand jury indict? Yes.
— James Cerda (@jamesC_really) May 1, 2026
So your post and article are utterly moot 🤡
Dilanian continues to be an embarrassment even after being exposed as a stenographer for the CIA.
