The DOJ alleges that the SPLC’s use of informants was part of a “scheme and artifice” to deceive donors. Acting U.S. Attorney Kevin Davidson alleges in the indictment that though SPLC’s “stated mission included the dismantling of white supremacy and confronting hate across the country” it was “unbeknownst to donors,” secretly using “donated money … to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, and the National Alliance.”

However, the indictment utterly fails to explain how these payments to extremist leaders undercut the SPLC’s stated mission. Nor does it say how anyone working for the center intentionally deceived donors. Nor could it; if you surveyed donors to the organization, they have already stated or would almost undoubtedly say that investigating hate is exactly what they wanted to support and that these claims are reprehensible.

The DOJ’s entire case centers on the SPLC’s alleged payments to ten informants inside extremist groups. Our special report, which will be posted here at The Contrarian at noon today, details the facts regarding these informants. The report makes evident that not a one justifies the criminal charges brought against the SPLC.[/quote]

I do think it’s going to be hard to support the indictment through trial, but [b]who knows what discovery will yield. [/b]

I also think SPLC has a major PR issue on their hands, whether the case succeeds or not. Their behavior may not have been (probably wasn’t) criminal. But it was certainly very sleazy and unethical. [/quote]

In a criminal case, discovery basically only flows from the prosecution to the defense. The prosecution doesn't get to seek discovery from the defense like in a civil case. [/quote]
