NEWS RELEASE: Launch of Patriot\u2019s Legal Defense Fund, Inc. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Contact:\u00a0\u00a0 Robin McGreer
\nExecutive Director\u00a0 (571) 969-1907

\nAlexandria, Virginia, City Jail (May 2, 2022) \u2013<\/strong> Stewart Rhodes, Founder and Leader of the Oath Keepers, announces that the PATRIOT\u2019S LEGAL DEFENSE FUND has been launched.<\/p>\n

The Patriot\u2019s Legal Defense Fund has set a goal of raising at least $5 million to assist the legal fees and expenses of various non-violent, peaceful Americans who demonstrated and exercised their First Amendment rights in Washington, D.C. on January 5-6, 2021.<\/p>\n

Stewart Rhodes commented:\u00a0 \u201cI am touched and encouraged that patriots, friends, family, and lovers of American liberty have undertaken this project.\u00a0 It is important to help make sure that every persecuted patriot will have the assistance of high-quality and effective attorneys to debunk false claims of prosecutors, Congress, and propagandists.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fund is focused on helping the legal defense of those who did not engage in any violence, damage of property, or harm to any law enforcement.\u00a0 Prosecutors and Judge Amit Mehta have admitted, in spite of over-blown indictments, that the Oath Keepers did none of those things.\u00a0 (The Board of Directors is not required to believe allegations they deem false after investigating the facts.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Donations are being accepted by many methods, including at www.PatriotsLegalDefense.org<\/a>\u00a0 .\u00a0\u00a0 Executive Director Robin McGreer appealed:\u00a0 \u201cEvery donation helps, yet we will also be seeking large donations from those who are able to defend this country in a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Board, Col. John Siemens, explained:\u00a0 \u201cWe are here for the defense of patriots who are being persecuted in a campaign against all conservatives, patriots, and the MAGA movement.\u00a0 The Deep State<\/em> has made clear that their aim is to prosecute Donald Trump and his family.\u00a0\u00a0 January 6 demonstrators are being trampled as the last line of defense in front of Trump.\u00a0 Stopping this Salem witch trial hysteria now may be the best protection for conservatives against growing attacks later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart Rhodes added:\u00a0 \u201cNever did I imagine I would see the U.S. Government set up a \u2018Disinformation Governance Board.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 Leftists view George Orwell\u2019s book \u20181984\u2019 as a \u2018how to\u2019 manual.\u00a0 Now, Biden has a Ministry of Truth.\u00a0 Donors should remember the warning<\/a> of German Lutheran Pastor Martin Niem\u00f6ller.\u00a0 Help us fight this battle now, or there will be nobody left to stand beside you later.\u00a0 Your donation today may look like a bargain in the long run, in hindsight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funds raised will be used exclusively to pay for attorneys, legal support, expenses, expert witnesses, etc., for defending against criminal charges and civil lawsuits.\u00a0 Funds will not be co-mingled with the funds of defendants or political organizations, but will be kept separate.\u00a0 The more raised, the more defendants the fund can help.\u00a0 Because the fund is a \u201cnon-stock\u201d corporation, there are no owners; the organization cannot issue shares of stock.<\/p>\n

Independent annual audits from an independent Certified Public Accountant will be published. Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in NAACP v. Alabama<\/em>, 357 U.S. 449 (1958) that the identity of donors and supporters are constitutionally protected under the First Amendment, the fund will be transparent about whom the Board has voted to help.\u00a0 Necessary expenses, start-up costs, and administration will be transparently reported.\u00a0 Obviously, the more money we can raise, the smaller percentage of funds will need to be applied to administration.<\/p>\n

The Board of Directors must vote on each defendant or organization whose legal fees and expenses it will help defray.\u00a0 Other defendants or their family or supporters are welcome to submit details of their case for consideration.\u00a0 But obviously the more donations the fund raises, the more it can spread those resources among more defendants.<\/p>\n
