Data hack reveals right-wing Liberty Counsel pushed supporters to vote Trump in apparent violation of IRS rules

A data hack reveals the right-wing Liberty Counsel may have violated IRS rules against political activity.

The hacktivist site Enlace Hacktivista released a 25-gigabyte Liberty Counsel database containing nearly seven years of donor records, which show that 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations controlled by the evangelical organization encouraged supporters to vote for Donald Trump -- an apparent violation of IRS rules prohibiting those entities from endorsing political candidates, reported The Intercept.

“Noticing a worrying trend of far-right and anti-abortion activists aligning themselves with the evangelical Christian movement, hiding their funding sources behind laws that allow church ministries to keep their donations secret, we decided to bring about some much-needed radical transparency," wrote the hacker, who identifies with the Anonymous movement.

Liberty Counsel, which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, is registered with the IRS as an “ association of churches ,” so it's not required to file a public tax return, and it has played an instrumental role in the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as well as challenging LGBTQ rights and vaccine mandates under the guise of religious freedom.

"data hack"

aka a Biden government hack under the cloak of an "independent actor".

Anything goes when you're willing to arrest your political opponents and steal elections in front of God and everybody.

The Canadians did something similar to this with the protesting Canadian truckers.

A "hacker" got into GiveSendGo data records - and the government used the hack immediately.

I think a "speedy" US government response to this "hack" will tell us all we need to know...

The article is basically a big leftist lie. Here is one of the newsletters they claim is telling people to vote for Trump.

It clearly lays out the issues, but does not specifically endorse Trump. This is typical of both sides. It is pro Trump without endorsement.

Black Christian clergy and their churches have been doing this for decades, even in DC where they openly kissed Obama’s ass.

Maybe we need to redefine “Christian.” I don’t even think most of those people, are Christians at all.

More tatted than wheat… but then again, look at the faithless who have seen these crops. They believe the word of man, much more so than the word of God.

Yet 501(c)(3)’s that support the left get a free pass while peddling dark money from questionable donors.

Try not to notice all those inner city churches that retain their tax exempt status in spite of helping, contributing to, hosting and promoting democrat candidates.

There were no irregularities of any kind in the 2020 election. It was the cleanest election in the history of the world, so this article is complete bunk.

I can solve this problem.

Just need a reporter at the presser to axe the Mayor:

“Why does she think the Trump Vaccine is safe for children? Because now the Trump Vaccine is sounding iffy…..”

Boom. Mayor will change her tune.

But the mainstream media, big tech and the FBI certainly aren’t guilty of pushing people to vote for corrupt democrats. /sarcasm

Is anyone going to stand up to this ? Anyone? Helloooooooooooooo?

Oh if only the IRS remotely enforced this tax exempt behavior stuff on inner city churches as aggressively as they do everyone else...

If SPLC is involved, lies abound.

That said, I’d like to see specifics on exactly what was said to encourage voting for DJTrump.

Umm, “Don’t vote for Satan”? I’d certainly interpret that as not going for BeijingBiden.

This is great news that attention will be paid to improper donations such as CNN, NBC, ABC and frankly all the others do in "In-Kind" donations by promoting Democrat candidates. Oh, what? This will only apply to conservative groups. Of course.

So this is probably how all the new IRSS agents will be used.

they wheeled campaign videos of Kamala Harris explicitly saying to vote for Terry McAuliffe into 300 black churches in a last-ditch attempt to stave off a humiliating loss... this was less than a year ago
