Wow. That’s some turgid prose there. Difficult to get through while trying to extract the point. Admittedly I gave it a heavy scan— twice. Focused on the part about the earlier court case. Saw nothing that cashed the check the headline wrote. GP is crap.

Essentially the defendants were denied their legal fees being paid by the NGOs because the judge was biased in the NGOs favor but dismissed the case.
The defendants are suing to have the precedent thrown out because the definition is vague and prone to be abused.
If the precedent gets deleted, then NGOs will have to start paying the legal fees of the people they take to court just to harass them and impoverish them.
That would be big......................

I concur - Terribly written, (almost) impossible to ferret out the threads of logic.
But the money definitely flows (via democrat law firms) from USAID (and others ?) to NGOs, then democrat lawyers , then back and forth to democrat insiders.

i understood it just fine.
maybe you need a remedial reading comprehension course ?
are you affiliated in any way with an NGO ?
do you have a rice bowl in jeopardy ? or are you just assigned to the GP narrative control cubicle in the free republic division ?

The article is heavy with fact. They're trying to get a precedent overturned that is allowing NGO’s to use lawfare against those attempting to uncover truths because the precedent precludes defendants from recovering legal fees when these NGO’s are caught doing their dirty deeds. Marc Elias is the architect of this tactic and the fear is, now that USAID has been gutted, this will be the left's new funding mechanism.
