Former officials call for investigation into political hiring at DOJ

Former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials are calling for an investigation into the current hiring practices at DOJ, which they say have become politicized under Eric Holder and the Obama administration.

Pajamas Media conducted an analysis of the resumes of hired individuals in five sections in the Civil Rights Division. The conservative media outfit was only able to obtained the documents after filing a federal lawsuit in response to DOJ’s 10 month rebuff of their Freedom of Information Act request.

Based on their investigation into five sections of the Civil Rights Division, the researchers at Pajamas Media found that every single new hire – 70 total – boasted a far-left resume. There was not one conservative or even an apolitical new hire in: the Voting Section (which had 16 hires), the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (which had 5 hires), the Special Litigation Section (which had 23 hires), the Education Section (which had 11 hires), or the Employment Section ( which had 15 hires).

“The Department’s political leadership clearly recognized that the resumes of these new attorneys would expose the hypocrisy of the Obama administration’s polemical attacks on the Bush administration for supposedly engaging in ‘politicized hiring’ — and that everyone would see just how militantly partisan the Obama Civil Rights Division truly is,” wrote former Justice official and Pajamas Media investigator Hans von Spakovsky, explaining why the Department stonewalled their FIOA requests for nearly a year.

IMHO the DOJ under Holder is the biggest threat to "us" in the Obama administration. There isn't a whisper about Holder's agenda of "Payback" from the media, other than conservative media...

I bet Holder has dossiers on every one of us here and of "enemies" against his agenda throughout the country. If a Republican had pulled half the crap that Holder has you would see the media screaming bloody murder.

The next election is an absolute must win; For us a loss would be indelible.
