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.

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."

Well, that's certainly one way to put it... if you're a lib media hack.

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!
