A federal judge angrily accused Justice Department attorneys in newly unsealed documents of "fraud upon the court" by intimidating a witness in a case involving a former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent who alleges the agency trashed his reputation.
Judge Francis Allegra, who was appointed to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in 1998 by President Bill Clinton, is presiding over a suit brought by former ATF agent Jay Dobyns against the government agency, which he claims retaliated against him and damaged his reputation. Dobyns infiltrated Hell's Angels and worked on cases involving the Aryan Brotherhood and MS-13 during his law enforcement career.
, In a newly unsealed, Dec. 1, 2014, court ruling that legal experts said was highly unusual, Allegra accused seven Justice Department lawyers of "fraud upon the court, banned them from making any further filings in the case and took the unusual step of directly notifying Attorney General Eric Holder.
In 40 years of legal practice, government and private, I've never seen that done, said David Hardy, a constitutional law expert who formerly worked in the U.S. Solicitor Generals Office.

Oh, yeah, Holder will be all over it.
/sarc
Oh Holder will be. He’ll put them on the fast track for promotion.
Nothing new for Eric WithHolder. And to think the Dept of “Just Us!” will soon be ruled by a literal LYNCH MOB!!
Just Wow.
Witness intimidation, withholding evidence?
The Judge seems to be a bulldog. Every one of those guys should be up on charges and sure as hell shouldn’t have badges.
Just wow. You don’t do that in a Federal court.
Holder will light a doobie with this document.
Katie should be a FReeper.
There are two nations within our borders. There is The United States Of America and there is Democratland. The citizens of Democratland get their money by taking it from the citizens of The United States. Would the citizens of Democratland perjure themselves to continue to be able to take money from the citizens of The United States? The citizens of Democratland will do anything, ANYTHING, to continue to be able to take money from the citizens of The United States.
The Democrat Party is a cancer on The United States Of America, and they are killing us.
Judge directly notified Holder. “Dr. Mr. Fox, we think someone tried to break in the hen house last night, could you look into this?”
“Look, a lawyers stock and trade is his or her integrity.... Thomas Dupree, a partner at the prestigious law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and a former DOJ official from 2007 to 2009, told FoxNews...”.
Yeah, it would be a real shocker if a lawyer, especially a lawyer in the Obama administration, did anything under handed.
Yep, any minute now.
I think she is really HumbleGunner.
Trust your government. They only have your best interests in mind. /s
LMAO!
We do know that is not the case since 'gunner has not attempted to hide his identity like Batman or Spiderman do ...
Nah. Look closely at the picture in #7. The ball cap in your picture is just to throw us off. The hair is the same as you can see in the pic with Laz.
