Just what is American Patriot Foundation up to here?

Last week:

American Patriot Foundations’ defense fund will pay for a lawyer and for Terry’s legal defense. We must raise $50,000 in the next ten days in order to assemble a top-flight legal defense team for LTC Lakin.

Today:

A vigorous defense of this case presents the ONLY present hope that Americans will finally learn whether their president lawfully holds office. If you want the proof, you can only hope to get it by supporting LTC Lakin NOW. MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION NOW TO TERRY’S DEFENSE FUND NOW. …

American Patriot Foundation’s Legal Defense Fund will pay for all of LTC Lakin’s attorneys fees and costs, and so we urgently need your tax deductible contribution. A noted civilian California trial lawyer has now been hired to be LTC Lakin’s lead counsel. It is expected these fees and costs will exceed $500,000 and therefore it is essential that LTC Lakin’s supporters come to his aid NOW.

And why is this frivolity tax-deductible?
