A legal firm representing the banking group involved in the 2003 financial assessment of Living Word Christian Center (LWCC) has sent a cease and desist letter to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The letter demands that CREW remove the financial documents associated with LWCC’s ministry from the web site, where they are being used as evidence of CREW’s recent filing against Pastor Mac Hammond. CREW has refused the request.
Both the cease and desist and CREW’s response, as well as CREW’s previous filings, can be found on the CREW web site here.

Our cue Such takedown orders always seem to spawn increased downloads (and mirror sites) of offending documents. Hint, hint.

Elastic ethics How is it that CREW’s ethics are so elastic?
When there is any suspected wrongdoing (of political foes) the cry goes out for a federal investigation.
But it’s fine for them to publicly display confidential financial documents (of political foes).
They play extremely loose with the facts, too. The headline on their website claims “LWCC tries to hide documents from public view”. However the cease and desist order is clearly from the firm representing the financial group, not LWCC. These people are lawyers, they know perfectly well that that headline is an outright LIE.

Not that it deserves a response, but… On what evidence do you base your charge?
(Not that I’m a champion, thank you, but the swindler part)

And you forgot “enemy of freedom of information and freedom of speech.”
Although in defending the bible-banging swindlers as such, his anti-constitutional stance doesn’t surprise me.
