The coordinated messaging all emphasizing how this was accidental and these longtime trolls didn't know (or bother to ask) where the money coming from is... something.
Isn't that just trickling down from the DOJ though? The article says:
Nazis are always treated with kid gloves by the US "justice" system. Same as it ever was.
I doubt this was the case during (and for at least a time after) WWII. But maybe a history buff can correct me. I haven't looked too deeply into how the justice system handled Nazis that far back.
The US loved to hire Nazi scientists after the war.
Before the war, they were treated very leniently. Nobody was charged in the Businessmen's Plot, the leaders of the German-American Bund were left alone, companies like IBM and Ford that traded with the Nazis were never punished for it, and even after the war, during the Red Scare, people were put under suspicion for "premature anti-fascism."
George Bush Sr's dad was a literal co-conspirator to overthrow US democracy and install a Nazi government.
