The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was founded by members of Hamas and at least three of its employees were convicted of plotting against the United States while still on its payroll. Yet the self-described public interest law firm continues to operate with impunity in Washington, the capital of the same government it wishes to overthrow. That could soon change, however, and CAIR will have only itself to blame.

In a 66-page civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, CAIR has been accused of fraud and racketeering for allegedly hiring a fake attorney to represent local Muslims, and then covering up the fraud by coercing clients who demanded a refund into signing a secrecy agreement in violation of professional ethics.
