Here's the rest of the post in case you can't see it all above:
The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public. They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups - even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes.
That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.
The Democrats are of course having meltdowns about that, but they need to be reminded that "no one is above the law."
The usual suspects in the media can of course be counted on to help out the Democrats when it comes to framing the story. Here's the USA Today's contribution:

Well, that's certainly one way to put it... if you're a lib media hack.
There is a pending community note on this, but it is infuriating that a huge newspaper will just flat-out lie about the news

SPLC was not "indicted for paying sources". They were indicted for wire fraud and making false statements. Just tell us the truth! It's not that hard! https://t.co/ElkPzSEKKB
That's not what the indictment says.

True, the indictment tells a different story from the one the USA Today's pushing in that post:
The SPLC was not paying for information they were paying for actions by hate groups.

Did the USA Today really think about that spin before they posted it?
The Trump DOJ got USA Today to DEFEND funding the KKK. 😂 https://t.co/zyJqSmuuax

There's nothing that Team Trump can't make the Left and their media allies do!
