An excerpt from the WSJ article:
“In the lawsuit against Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Mr. Gottlieb said he is being targeted for his pro-gun advocacy. The lawsuit says the attorney general has “carried out an expansive, highly intrusive probe into the private affairs” of Mr. Gottlieb, his family, his nonprofits and the two Gottlieb entities that provide services to the nonprofits.
“It’s my job as Attorney General to enforce Washington laws prohibiting self-dealing and the illegal misappropriation of charitable donations,” Mr. Ferguson said in a statement. “We don’t have a comment on this confidential investigation that Mr. Gottlieb chose to make public.” He said he expects to prevail in the case.
Investigators have made demands for decades-old documents and have put gag orders on the groups’ accountants, the suit said. Mr. Gottlieb, in an interview, said he’d been deposed earlier this year and “it didn’t go very well for them.”
When this country divides, and it will, the patriot side should not even conduct any trade with these communist tyrants. Don’t give them an inch of consideration and keep them out of our half of the country.
