[Ads-l] self-incriminate

[Peter Reitan]

I might prefer "incriminate itself", but it makes sense in a way.
The story is about a black man who somehow, BlackKlansman-like, 
infiltrated a Neo-Nazi group and became its leader.  One of his first 
acts as leader was to waive the right against self-incrimination and 
admit guilt, on behalf of the organization as its leader, in some legal 
proceeding.
So, to "self-incriminate" here means to have the organization 
incriminate itself.
