Newly published emails show the top spokeswoman at the U.S. Justice Department regularly collaborating with the liberal advocacy group Media Matters on stories that slam the administration's critics.

The emails, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act requestand published by The Daily Caller, often show department public affairs chief Tracy Schmaler communicating with Media Matters bloggers. Sometimes, the emails were in response to inquiries. Other times, Schmaler was pitching ideas, according to the Caller.

In a January 2012 email chain, Schmaler sent a Media Matters writer lines from House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa's comments at a recent hearing. She reportedly underlined passages where the California Republican tries to explain the difference between Operation Fast and Furious and other anti-gunrunning operations under former President George W. Bush.

I’d call them Nazi’s, but they’d see it as a compliment to their goals and efficiency.

If this activity, which is both partisan and political, isn’t enough to get their tax exempt status challenged nothing ever will. Of course, it’s ironic to see that these hard core committed leftist propagandists don’t like to pay taxes.

Can you imagine the firestorm if this happened under Bush? The Impeachment Hearings would already be beginning.

Obama apparently does not trust David Brock, who is reportedly about half a step from a padded cell these days.

And the New York Times seeks prior approval on stories. Hello George Orwell...
