When that article was published, there were no charges filed. It was more than a year later that they were charged. And I'll ask again: which facts were false or mischaracterized? Can you be specific?

The essence of the article I linked was that:

1) Letitia's investigation was drawn out and financially ruinous.

2) She demanded all of their email records, which would have doxxed their writers.

3) The Brimelows are being investigated for using funds donated to their charity for personal expenses, which they deny.

The CNN article, as far as I could tell, contradicts none of these points. But perhaps I missed something?
