George Zimmerman on Monday accused President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder of making a “scapegoat” of him but that he does not know why they would do so.
In an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Zimmerman said he believes that in his trial for the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin he faced a “miscarriage of justice,” and he described himself as a “scapegoat.”
“A scapegoat for [what]?” Cuomo asked.
“The government, the president, the attorney general,” responded Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the trial. “I don’t know what they’re thinking or why they’re thinking it, all I know is that they’re doing it. I don’t know what agenda they have.”
Zimmerman also said that he wants to attend law school.
“I would like to professionally continue my education and hopefully become an attorney. I think that’s the best way to stop the miscarriage of justice that happened to me from happening to somebody else. I don’t think it should happen to anyone ever again, not one person,” he said.
Can George Zimmerman do anything dumber? I wonder, then almost daily he tops himself with something like this.
Just politics, nothing personal.
We are all obama’s scapegoat, how else could he get away with what he is doing...it’s our fault as a nation, so we carry the burden.
Zimm needs to campaign against the current Fla. Gov. who appointed witch Corey.
Welcome to the War for Your Personal Independence, George.
Join the ranks, and thank God you won that first battle.
Don’t you think he is more than tired of being intimidated into silence about the injustice of what was done to him?
Hopefully Mr. Zimmerman will soon get his life on course. Shell shocked, vilified, and too much time in the public eye. GTFO, lay low, start over. Good luck.
“Zimm needs to campaign against the current Fla. Gov. who appointed witch Corey.”
The governor appointed somebody so extreme that she was almost bound to fail.

He indeed was a scapegoat and tried to make an example of. The charges were phony from the get-go and everyone involved on the prosecution side should be disbarred.
No excuse to go out and say stupid things on national television. Every time he does one of these “interviews” he literally hands more evidence to withHolder’s “Just-us Department.”
He’s still under investigation by DoJ! Any lawyer worth his salt would tell George “S.T.F.U, already!” Now is the *best* time for silence. You can call it “intimidated into silence” if you want to, but you aren’t him, and he’s still in jeopardy. He can still go to jail.
Zimmerman is his own worst enemy. The guy is dumber than a tree stump. Why does he keep popping up? This clown just needs to go away!

Probably So.... After all he is a democrat..
You know............. STILL.. after all he’s been thru..
Well...maybe he should just surrender himself to the Black Ku Klux Klan...would that make you happy?
I know it, and George knows it. He is weighing the risks versus the rewards. You emphasize some of the risks and not the other risks, and you pay no mind at all to the rewards.
None of this makes me happy. I especially don’t like his giving Holder ammo for free. Does that make me bad?
You are correct, because I don’t see a plus side to talking to CNN. They hate him, and will do everything they can to spin this to his disadvantage.
IOW, I don’t think he’s more clever than Sarah Palin.
