The Poverty of the DOJ Indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center - Just Security
Overview
Michael D. Weissmann, the former head of the DOJ Fraud Section, criticizes the Justice Department’s indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, arguing it contains conspicuous gaps and lacks essential prosecutorial detail. He says the charging papers do not present the kind of detailed prosecution memorandum and factual showing normally expected in a federal case. Weissmann’s analysis highlights questions about the strength of the DOJ’s allegations and adds to scrutiny of recent department actions on extremism-related enforcement.
