W.H.: Obama won't get involved in Justice Department decision on Zimmerman case
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 7/15/13 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

Posted on 07/15/2013 10:27:16 AM PDT by ColdOne

President Barack Obama won't intervene in the Justice Department's determination of whether to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday.

The president "has no position to express" on how the department chooses to move forward in its response to the killing of Trayvon Martin, and the decision will be made by career prosecutors and not by the White House, Carney said. "The process will be handled in the way it should be at the Department of Justice and certainly not here."

Which means that he’s already been involved.

I think this article missed the boat.

Civil rights include the ensuring of peoples’ physical and mental integrity, life and safety.

The State of Florida and FedGov have intervened in a local police matter and created an environment where GZ’s life is at risk.

I don't see any action the State of Florida or FedGov is taking to prosecute the criminals that are making credible death threats against GZ. This is a violation of GZ’s civil rights and he should sue the State of Florida and FedGov for violating his civil rights and claim damages for lost wages, mental anguish, etc.

"has no position to express"

"Leading from behind."

Brings to mind, and brings to life, the position of 'Hindmost' from the Ringworld series by Larry Niven.

I believe it, but what do I know? I believe Himmler ordered the “final solution” and Hitler knew nothing about it.

The President never gets involved in anything. Has important things to do, like giving speeches and going to fundraisers.

Despite his history, I don’t believe for a minute that O is voting “present” on this one. Behind the scenes, the wheels are already in motion.

[[Which means exactly that Obama (or Jarrett) has already personally given the order to go ahead.]]

.

That or when they don’t file charges he can say to his whitey hatin’ base that he had nothing to do with it.
Zimmerman is screwed. They will scour everywhere to find someone to say he looked at a black person wrong.

You know they are not thru screwing the whole thing up. And I hope they keep trying since there’s no way it can work out with Obamuzzie’s bunch looking good. Who is going to do the “handling” is my point of interest at the moment. The FBI has already put their “no problem here” stamp on it so who does that leave? Obambi’s super secret most excellent White Hut crime fighter unit? The NSA’s telephone listener guys? psst? Who?

just means the exact opposite. This is why he became president, to persecute enemies of his people.. or those that they perceive to be enemies.

He already involved himself at the very beginning. It was Obama who started this whole mess.

Corrupt government and favoritism and cronyism for the elite will be the downfall of the USA, while political partisans will blindly attempt to defend their own corrupt team.

Both Parties are inherently corrupt and the sooner we the people grasp the reality of this, the sooner we’ll send those involved to Leavenworth.
