Conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch announced today that they have filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for records relating to an Obama administration policy of shaking down corporations to fund left-wing groups such as La Raza.
Barack Hussein Obama continued his community organizing as President because that is all he knows how to do. Steal money, shake down businesses, destroy and agitate. Obama’s main goals were to destroy capitalism and empower Islamic groups.
Via Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced today that it has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for records relating to an Obama administration policy of settling agency lawsuits against corporate defendants by requiring that the corporations make “donations” to left-wing interest groups La Raza, the Urban League and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01064)).
Judicial Watch filed the suit after the Justice Department failed to respond to its April 7, 2017, FOIA request seeking:
All records discussing the policy or practice of settling [Department of Justice] lawsuits against corporate defendants by requiring donations to La Raza, the Urban League or the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
The time frame of the request was identified as January 1, 2013 through January 20, 2017.
The investigation, announced in February by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), revealed that the Justice Department used the mandatory “donations” to direct nearly a billion dollars to liberal activist groups over the past two years. According to the investigation, “activist groups which stood to gain from mandatory donation provisions were involved in placing those provisions in the settlements.”

DOJ, unlawful criminal behavior. How did USA get here?
Good. It is about time that our side went on the offensive against the Left. One of their chief tactics is to bury their opponents in legal paperwork, and to smear them with “they’re being investigated” or “they’re being sued” - well, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Besides, it’d be nice for the general public to see that (and the extent to which) their god, Obama, STOLE money for his own side from coerced judicial “settlements.”
I am also happier than could be about Trump directing that such activity stop, right freaking NOW. It is an utter perversion of the legal system.
Shakedown suits are one half of the issue. The other half is “ sue and settle “ where a favored leftist group sues the government, and the Obama DOJ rolls over, doesn’t defend, and agrees to both regulatory performance and a financial settlement. Pretty sneaky, huh?
J w is going all out
Any left wing group getting subsidized by the Obama Adminstration’s shakedown of corporations should result it a suit before - or against - the Federal Election Commission if they spent a dime on political action.
This shake down, benifit some, scam is no doubt linked to and explains the appearance of the numerous advertisement bedazzled/Liv personal automobiles that immediately followed the 2008 error election.
That is a violation of the federal RICO statutes.
