9. So the Keystone DoJ's claim is that the informants were "manufacturing the extremism" and "stoking racial hatred"

What they're doing is claiming that the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi parties would have been innocent associations, if it wasn't for the nefarious infiltrators from the evil SPLC.

This is, of course, bollocks, but perhaps the DoJ's aim is to force the SPLC to defend itself by detailing how the informants worked, thus helping the DoJ's friends, like the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi parties, to detect infiltrators in the future, and maybe to take violent retribution on those who did it in the past.
