San Francisco lawyer Harmeet Dhillon is a fixture on Fox News who has garnered support from the likes of Matt Gaetz, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham; she also helms a nonprofit that appears to have directed more than $1m into her law firm, Dhillon Law Group.

Last November, Dhillon was able to mount a serious challenge to Ronna McDaniel for chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Archived snapshots of her campaign’s official website touted endorsements from elected officials such as Gaetz and conservative media figures such as Carlson, Ingraham and Jack Posobiec.

Meanwhile, the nonprofit has entered into a close relationship with a well-heeled rightwing foundation whose financial generosity has been matched by a seat on the nonprofit’s board.

1. These non-profit tax exempt political operations disguised as charities, are another feature

of a failing democracy, one of the main ones! And excellent vehicles for fraudulent related crime.

End them.

2. Prison should be mandatory.
