Did Justice Department support anti-Zimmerman protests after Martin shooting?

A conservative watchdog group accused the Justice Department of helping manage the "pressure campaign" last year against George Zimmerman in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting, citing documents that show an obscure agency spent thousands assisting local demonstrations.

Maybe Eric Holder will again commit contempt of Congress when he is asked about this.

It’s was 2012 Marxist voter registration drive using this tragedy !
Never let a tragedy go to waste!

I remember something about Justice officials doing something down there to ensure Blacks had “protection,” but what it was didn’t come out at the time, save for some meeting(s) they either attended or arranged.

Maybe the possibility of this getting more attention will discourage Just Us from pursuing civil rights charges against GZ.

A criminal defendant at the federal, no less than at the state level, is entitled to the fair exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It is obvious that that did not happen on the state level and now consideration moves the federal level. Unfortunately, one of the main reasons why prosecutorial discretion was overridden at the state level was because of the intervention of the department of justice in agitating for the prosecution of George Zimmerman and participating in conferences with local officials who forced the prosecution contrary to the positions taken by the regular prosecutor and the regular police investigator.

Can anyone now believe that this same Department of Justice will fairly exercise its duty of prosecutorial discretion at the federal level?

Eric Holder has tainted American justice with racism, he is unfit for the job and demonstrably unfit to prosecute George Zimmerman.

What hearing? You mean the House will conduct hearings. Never happen.

The “Just-Us” department involved in lining up the protestors to be bused into Seminole County on Monday, but the “golden moment” for the projected demonstrations there may have already passed. Trayvon’s daddy and mamma have already made a cash settlement with the community association that employed George Zimmerman.

But hey, there is still a lot of “community organizing” to be done in every Democrat-majority black urban district all over the country.

Jesse Jackson saying the verdict is invalid because Martin didn’t get a jury of his peers. Joe Scarborough ( a lawyer) said that the prosecution can appeal and overturn the verdict because Martin didn’t get a jury of his peers.

"That's retarded, sir."

>the prosecution can appeal and overturn the verdict because Martin didn’t get a jury of his peers.

Well that's because Martin wasn't the one on trial! They made that obvious by obscuring his thug life behavior.

Now if George was to sue St Skiddles parents for assault.... Then lil trademark would be the one tried by his peers.

“every Democrat-majority black urban district “

But you repeat yourself!

...actually, wouldn’t a jury of TM’s peers be a bunch of demised people...?

Anyone have a link to Mom’s entire summation where he used the timeline?

Good grief. Now CNN is saying the defense racially profiled Martin by showing pictures of Martin that were’nt when he was 12 years old.
