Lynch Mob: DOJ Ferguson Unit Has Tainted Past
Investor's Business Daily ^ | August 22, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Due Process: The Criminal Section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division that is handling the shooting of Michael Brown was once smacked down by a federal judge for gross prosecutorial misconduct.

Demonstrating the same relentless pursuit of truth and justice that occurred after the New Black Panther voter-intimidation case or the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in Fast and Furious, Attorney General Eric Holder and his team of leftist lawyers and ideologues have descended on Ferguson, Mo., to assure, as Gov. Jay Nixon put it, justice is done for Brown and his family.

Justice for Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson is another thing, as it was for five members of the New Orleans Police Department. They faced federal charges for, and were convicted of, shooting suspected looters on New Orleans' Danziger Bridge after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The presumption of innocence was also cast aside in that case, and the end of finding the officers guilty of civil rights violations justified any means.

As Hans von Spakovsky has documented in National Review Online, antics by Justice Department lawyers from the Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division included: leaking supposedly secret grand jury proceedings and conducting a PR campaign to influence the jury and inflame public opinion that included blogging on the website of the Times-Picayune newspaper.

The defendants justifiably petitioned for a new trial and on Nov. 26, 2012, in a scathing ruling unnoticed by the media, Louisiana Federal District Court Judge Kurt Englehardt reversed the convictions of the defendants, citing the "perfidy" and "skullduggery" of the Justice Department attorneys.

Waht sorry ingrates these spoiled minorities are!

No matter what you do or how well you do it, it’s never enough!

Country where they were freed after over half a million died to do so? Not enough for them.

Country that indulges their temper tantrums? Not enough for them.

I’m guessing, given what’s going on here and the information thats already come out, Officer Wilson is going to have some of the best Conservative attornies and legal organizations lining up to defend him.

Pro Bono.

Don’t know whether, as a cop, he can accept it or not.

There is no justice at Holder’s Department of Injustice.
