WINNING! DOJ Ends Shadowy Obama-Era Slush Fund That Paid For Activities by Violent Left-Wing Groups

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that it will be ending an Obama/Holder-era slush fund that funded radical left-wing groups.

As TGP previously reported, the Obama administration funneled billions of dollars to activist organizations through a Department of Justice slush fund scheme, according to congressional investigators and the GOP was looking to eliminate it. Another win for Americans as Obama’s ‘legacy’ is erased and replaced with law and order.

That is shaky legal ground they based that decision on.

Money from fines automatically becomes US Government monies. If it was not passed on to Treasury, then it was misappropriated, illegal and prosecutable....................

I think it was just recently discovered by Sessions.

This may possibly go back as far as the TARP / Fiscal Stimulus mess.

The DOJ should now insist on getting the money back or the organization dies

If it’s illegal, then somebody should be charged and indicted................

Agreed. And it doesn't belong in the win column until all the criminal democrat leadership and their republican enablers are in prison.

Could the DOJ take what’s left in the slush funds, after terminating them, and use the money to help pay for the wall?

Maybe this is where Clinton’s State Department lost their $2 billion? The more mud and sleaze that’s dug up, the more ugly and deep we realize the Swamp truly is.

“...Obama administration funneled billions of dollars ...”

Okay...

So when do I get a refund check for my portion of the taxpayer dollars that was forcibly taken from me to fund these domestic terrorist organizations?

Where is the accountability?

Politicians should not be able to funnel that much money to their cronies without consequences.

..... Sounds like a typical Rainbow Coalition shakedown strategy on a Federal scale ..... I wonder if Jesse and the rest of the Just Us Brothers were involved with this?

This is an example why it’s a good thing AG Sessions recused himself. If he hadn’t, his time and energy would be totally devoted to those hearings. Instead, he can work behind the scenes and get things done.

>>The problem with this approach is that if a Democrat is elected president they will reverse it.

And drive the pendulum/herd even further left as a repulsive response to Trump.

Trump’s consistent failure to articulate the principles of conservative American ideology - and its defense, is going to be a problem in that context.

He has to better make the case for what he’s doing. People need to understand it to be able to argue in defense of it and keep the inertia in favor of conserving America.

Polarizing the herd ala “stupid leftard” insults won’t facilitate the conservation of anything.

It has long been known that the “fines” paid by banks (et al) for “violations” were funneled directly to “community organizing” (i.e. leftist) street agitators.

Honestly had no idea this was going on. So the US government was paying the legal bills of advocacy groups? WTF?!
