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.
King George would be proud.

This is BIG, BIG, BIG!!
Eric Holder and Barack Obama’s OPERATIVES were involved in the very GENESIS of this racist undertaking. Not listed are the salaries and expenses of the DOJ Operatives as they prepared, travelled to and resided in Sanford Florida while carrying out this operation.
Rush on this? Excellent ..needs coverage. I’m calling my Congressman now.
I need a drink.
My GOD in heaven, what does it take for all the bulls##t these Marxist buffoons do to rise to the level of impeachable offenses?!?!
Good work Larry.

Oddly enough....I agree
With you
a DOJ arm sending a few thousand down there to activist groups stinks but doesn’t surprise me
I don’t think they are organizing it per se yet though they likely want it so
No question the usual rabble will be there
My only surprise is that they left a paper trail.
They'll lose. Florida is the gunshine state. We're all armed to the teeth down here.
Nazi tactics - political intimidation by government for a political agenda having zero, zilch, nada to do with either the law or the legal mission of the government agents.
Holder has said in plan English that he considers civil rights legislation, hate crime laws, etc, to be for the benefit of anyone except whites. The writing was on the wall when the NBP got a pass after intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place, and after calling for the murder of white infants in front of national media. It’s continued, with the non-prosecution of such crimes as the Christian/Newsome torture/murders as “hate crime”, the beating death of 11 yo Bailey O’Neill by blacks who had a pattern of bullying him in school, the fact that nothing is being done about all the black mobs and packs targetting whites and non-blacks for attack, etc. They aren’t even identified as “black”, when that’s relevant because of who they’re targetting. Now we all understand that “youths” or “teens” means blacks. Even if they’re in their 30s.
The reality is that we as the producers, especially non-black producers are expected to take our beat downs or murders.
We are supposed to be passive when they steal our property.
We are supposed to sit down and shut up, when we are called white crackers.
If any of my family is harmed by these New Black Panther racists, every listed leader of that groups will be dead within 5-10 years. Every single one of them.
American taxpayers are financing and orchestrating domestic terrorism. Including taxpayers associated with conservative, primarily white organization, who have been specifically targeted and discriminated against by the IRS.
WHEN DOES THIS NIGHTMARE END?
You can leave a paper trail when you own the media and the courts.
The Turner Diaries have proven to be far more prescient than anyone would have ever figured back then
Unfortunately
bttt
We're all armed to the teeth down here.
True, but there have been many unfortunate boat accidents. So who knows...?

Anything that could be deemed vigilantism would be in response to flashmob violence. But that is of course just what the armored vehicles are being positioned to be used for. The armored vehicles will roll against the people defending themselves from holder’s people roaming around as flashmobs. The folks around Samford, FL need to identify where the armored vehicles are parked presently ... just sayin’
Its a good tag
