A letter to Judicial Watch

My friend Marge received a letter from the group "Judicial Watch" asking for money for all kinds of lawsuits.  The letter also mentioned that the group was a 5021 (c) 3 group, so your contribution was tax deductible.  Actually, it is tax deductible if you itemize, which many of us don't.  Anyway, I was curious enough to write them the following letter.

Judicial Watch, Development Office

425 Third St., SW, Suite 800

Washington, DC 20024

Dear Reader:

I don’t understand how Judicial Watch qualifies for a 501 (c) 3 status under current law.  It was my impression that these were supposed to be charitable organizations  After reading your literature it appears to me that you are a front group for President Trump’s re-election.  Talking about an “unprecedented Deep State conspiracy to unlawfully prosecute and force President Donald Trump from office” and criticizing the Obama administration for “its illegal and arguably criminal cover-up of Hillary Clinton’s multiple scandals” kind of gives it away.

You might, while investigating some of those scandals, also investigate the multitude of illegal activities currently underway in the cabinet departments and agencies now controlled by Mr. Trump.  As your letterhead states, “Because no one is above the law.”  That includes presidents.

And please explain the 501 (c) 3 designation.  I am really curious.

Sincerely,

Roy Christman
