....ABC News has learned Martin’s family will soon be notified that the Justice Department will not be filing charges against George Zimmerman, who shot the 17-year-old after a confrontation in 2012. Thursday marks three years to the day since Martin was killed.

They are giving themselves 18 months to properly dispose of all internal and external personal emails, correspondence, memos and letters in how they wanted to lynch Zimmerman with anything they could concoct.

If I were JW, I’d be suing them right now. It’ll take that long to get a friggin Federal Judge to even deign to listen to arguments.

They knew they had no case but wanted to pretend to be investigating for political purposes - not legal. They should be ashamed, but this is what they do.

Miracles never cease to amaze. Besides, GZ has pretty much destroyed himself already. Anybody looking at charges against moms and pops of tm?

Holder knew that when the incident occurred more than 2 years ago.

I don’t think they went down this road until after the original grand jury decision was announced.

They are all about threats and intimidation. Regardless, there is a ‘there’ here, probably as big or bigger than the IRS stuff. They were out to lynch him.

I sent this article to a friend, did a cut and paste on the link. This is how that link reads:

abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-martin-doj-set-announce-charges-george-zimmerman/story?id=29186648

Note the disconnect between the wishful thinking of whoever wrote the verbiage of the link vs. the actual facts of the announcement.
