A Right-Wing Think Tank Claimed to Be a Church. Now, Members of Congress Want to Investigate.
Forty lawmakers are calling on the IRS and the Treasury to investigate after ProPublica reported that the Family Research Council gained protections by claiming it is a church.

The FRC’s website describes the organization as “a nonprofit research and educational organization dedicated to articulating and advancing a family-centered philosophy of public life,” noting that it provides “policy research and analysis for the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government.”

The FRC sought and received reclassification from a standard tax-exempt charity to an “association of churches” in 2020.

In its application for church status, the organization said it met 11 of the 14 characteristics that the IRS uses to determine whether an organization is a church, including an established place of worship — a chapel in the organization’s Washington office building, at which it said it holds services attended by more than 65 people. (Someone who answered the phone at the office said the group doesn’t offer church services.) The organization said its association comprises nearly 40,000 “partner churches” that must affirm a statement of faith to join; it did not offer the names of those partners on its form to the IRS

Ehhh… I wouldn’t rely too much on Kansas to do anything correctly.

Although, probably lots of Kansans who’d like to have the opportunity to abort their unborn children of incest.

Wow. Sandy Hook parents' lawyer is revealing that Alex Jones' lawyers sent him the contents of Jones' phone BY MISTAKE.

"12 days ago, your attorneys messed up and sent me a digital copy of every text" Jones has sent for years.

"You know what perjury is?" the lawyer asks.

———————

Sandy Hook parents' lawyer is now asking Jones about the times he has emailed about Sandy Hook over the last several years, despite testifying under oath he couldn't find any emails about Sandy Hook. There are apparently a lot of them. One is on a screen right now.

———————

Even Jones is stunned by the fact Sandy Hook parents seem to have his emails. Jones just called it their lawyers' "Perry Mason moment." It's shocking.

———————

Just want to add that Alex Jones' latent cough came back in full force when his own texts, which he didn't know the Sandy Hook parents' lawyers had access to, appeared on a screen in the court room and he was asked to read one.

Alex Jones is having a REALLY BAD day in court today. He’s being sued for defamation by the Sandy Hook families.

The video of Jones learning the lawyers have his texts is even sweeter:

On Wednesday, Sandy Hook victims’ attorney Mark Bankston told Jones that his attorney had mistakenly sent Bankston three years worth of the conspiracy theorist’s emails and text messages copied from his phone.

Now — a source familiar with the matter and another person briefed on it tell Rolling Stone — the January 6th committee is preparing to request that data from the plaintiff attorneys in order to aid its investigation of the insurrection.
