A U.S. Justice Department source has told The Daily Caller that at least two DOJ prosecutors accepted cash bribes from allegedly corrupt finance executives who were indicted under court seal within the past 13 months, but never arrested or prosecuted.
The sitting governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, his attorney general and an unspecified number of Virgin Islands legislators also accepted bribes, the source said, adding that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise compromised, but has not held anyone accountable.
The bribed officials, an attorney with knowledge of the investigation told TheDC, remain on the taxpayers’ payroll at the Justice Department without any accountability. The DOJ source said Holder does not want to admit public officials accepted bribes while under his leadership.
That source said that until the summer of 2011, the two compromised prosecutors were part of a team of more than 25 federal prosecutors pursuing a financial crime ring, and at least five other prosecutors tasked to the case were also compromised by the criminal suspects they were investigating, without being bribed.
TheDC is withholding the name of the source, a knowledgeable government official who served on the Justice Department’s arrest team and was involved in the investigation, in order to prevent career retaliation from political figures in the Obama administration.
A former high-level elected official vouches for the government source’s veracity. “[The source] was trustworthy … and you could tell [the source] information or [the source] could hear information and [the source] would keep things close to [the source’s] chest,” that former official told TheDC. “You could trust [the source] with your life.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Well ...DUH! Once this ship of corruption starts sinking the rats will jump and the piggies will start squealing until half of the Chicago sleaze team is doing the perp walk.
Just the kind of story you want to have come out the night before you’re giving testimony before a Congressional Committee.
Better try to get some sleep, Mr. Holder.
Wow! I should have read the story first!
This is a big one.
We’ve got a Deep Throat at Justice!
Apparantly, the source says Mr. Holder knows about the corruption of DOJ investigators but hasn’t wanted to do anything about it because he “does not want to admit public officials accepted bribes while under his leadership.”
Oh man.
It is getting interesting.
Time to buy extra popcorn
No references. None.
Not yet...would be pretty dicey to put your name out there.
Bad garbage or good cheese?
[...the rats will jump and the piggies will start squealing...].
One rat has stopped and started to squeal while the remainder of the rats find a lower tunnel in the sewer that is the Holder Justice Department....
Watching the criminality of this administration, top to bottom, is breathtaking.
on your list please
“does not want to admit public officials accepted bribes while under his leadership.”
