More insight into the America, from the Tennessee “trial”, third day I believe:

Plaintiff Attorney J. Thomas Smith of Franklin told the Post today he was retained by PJTN and works with the group’s president and plaintiff attorney Joe Brandon Jr.

The group has also used contributions from local residents to pay witnesses who appeared on the stand Thursday.
