Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents proving that the Department of Justice played a major behind-the-scenes role in organizing protests against George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the DOJ on April 24, 2012. According to the documents JW received, a little-known DOJ unit called the Community Relations Service deployed to Sanford, FL to organize and manage rallies against Zimmerman.
Among JW’s findings:
•March 25 – 27, 2012, CRS spent $674.14 upon being “deployed to Sanford, FL, to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.”
•March 25 – 28, 2012, CRS spent $1,142.84 “in Sanford, FL to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.
•March 30 – April 1, 2012, CRS spent $892.55 in Sanford, FL “to provide support for protest deployment in Florida.”
•March 30 – April 1, 2012, CRS spent an additional $751.60 in Sanford, FL “to provide technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31.”
•April 3 – 12, 2012, CRS spent $1,307.40 in Sanford, FL “to provide technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford.”
•April 11-12, 2012, CRS spent $552.35 in Sanford, FL “to provide technical assistance for the preparation of possible marches and rallies related to the fatal shooting of a 17 year old African American male.” – expenses for employees to travel, eat, sleep?
JW says the documents it obtained reveal that CRS is not engaging in its stated mission of conducting “impartial mediation practices and conflict resolution,” but instead engaged on the side of the anti-Zimmerman protesters.
On April 15, 2012, during the height of the protests, the Orlando Sentinel reported, “They [the CRS] helped set up a meeting between the local NAACP and elected officials that led to the temporary resignation of police Chief Bill Lee according to Turner Clayton, Seminole County chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.” The paper quoted the Rev. Valarie Houston, pastor of Allen Chapel AME Church, a focal point for protestors, as saying “They were there for us,” after a March 20 meeting with CRS agents.
Separately, in response to a Florida Sunshine Law request to the City of Sanford, Judicial Watch also obtained an audio recording of a “community meeting” held at Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Sanford on April 19, 2012. The meeting, which led to the ouster of Sanford’s Police Chief Bill Lee, was scheduled after a group of college students calling themselves the “Dream Defenders” barricaded the entrance to the police department demanding Lee be fired. According to the Orlando Sentinel, DOJ employees with the CRS had arranged a 40-mile police escort for the students from Daytona Beach to Sanford.
“These documents detail the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in the pressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “My guess is that most Americans would rightly object to taxpayers paying government employees to help organize racially-charged demonstrations.”
Organizing such protests falls well withing both President Barack Obama’s and Attorney General Eric Holder’s wheelhouses. Obama was a “community organizer” in his career prior to elective politics, a position that uses protests and street theater, along with threats, to obtain concessions from businesses and other political opponents. Holder has accused America of being a “nation of cowards” for not discussing racial issues enough. He also described black Americans as “my people” during a congressional hearing.
As the Zimmerman trial winds down, the threat of race riots should he be acquitted have risen.
I like Trey Gowdy !
“Hussein is doing everything he can to start an Uncivil War in this country.”
If that’s the case, he seriously underestimated the complacency in this country.
Bummer.

Zimmerman is being lynched, with the help of the criminal justice department.
So much for the rule of law in this country.

Jim,
I asked the admin to post this in Breaking News after it got picked up by Rush Limbaugh. However, I see that it hasn’t. Instead, an attempt to repost by someone else was deleted.
This really shouldn’t get “lost”.
Sadly that's not the case. They know that NONE of the MSM will report this at all.
99.99% of all Americans will never hear about this.
Holder and Obama are going full bore with the riot planning...They relish the mayhem that is coming.....
It’s what Community Agitators do. Stir the pot.
SEIU was behind Occupy Wall Street, too.
Mammy, Florida? Is this news from The Onion?
I rather drag him in front a firing squad.
I enter this into google:
‘bill ayers race war’
Here is what I get back”
“Your search - bill ayers race war - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.
Try fewer keywords.”
Do the same search on BING and you get hundreds of hits.
Google used to find things. Now ... it filters things...
gave up on Hannity when don’t ask was going to be overturned and he would not mention anything about it, and when I and other vets called we were always told that the subject would not be talked about today.
Another vet called and lied to the screener and once he got through to Hannity and mentioned don’t ask Hannity put the phone down and said we seem to have lost the caller.
He;s just an establishment tool
calling this group right now and letting them know how I feel my tax money goes towards inciting violence towards whites and trying to twist the justice system on my state

Just wait till they make the connection and coordination between the Obama White House, the abuses of power the IRS and the intimidation by the Occupy Wall Street Street thugs
“As you look in the courtroom behind the Martins, those pastors back there are CRS and are being paid federal dollars to be there.”
This administration is “wink wink” covertly handing out reparations as often as is possible.
just called the CRF and left a message and told them what I thought about my tax money and their dept pushing hatred and inciting violence towards white people in my state.
screw them, they have no right to do this and as for Holder and his so called his people as he likes to say then he should have been forced to step down years ago, right after he showed his racism in the black panther case
It's blunt, but I can't trust them. That grand jury thing was a complete scam.
Good God this is frightening, and should be additional appellate issues and/or a lawsuit for Zimmerman.
It’s also what is in store for ALL of us after amnesty, etc.
