Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts

Smoking Gun ^ | August 2010 | Hussein and Holder's JUST US Department

[Recovering_Democrat]

--The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records.

A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a “DEA Sensitive” security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of “telephonic monitoring of court ordered nonconsensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media”

The difficult task is finding ebonics speakers who can pass a security clearance.
