Obama DOJ Funneled BILLIONS to Liberal Activist Groups
Fox News ^ | Mar 1, 2017 | Melissa Jacobs

The Obama administration funneled billions of dollars to activist organizations through a Department of Justice slush fund scheme, according to congressional investigators.

Findings spearheaded by the House Judiciary Committee point to a process shrouded in secrecy whereby monies were distributed to a labyrinth of nonprofit organizations involved with grass-roots activism.

And the left got all upset over Kellyanne Conway kneeling on a sofa.

So when can we expect Congressional investigations? FBI/DOJ investigations?

“Obama left a trail of theft, fraud and outright subversion behind him.”

Don’t forget.. Treason

Hillary wasn’t supposed to lose the election.

This game that is currently been played, is being played for keeps! This is for all the marbles.

The dems know this. The repubs are maybe starting to figure it out.

“Have laws been broken?”

I think that it is more of a case of using the law (and elected office) as an instrument of plunder.

The Obama Administration would charge a rich corporation with something, conduct judicial or non-judicial administrative procedures, and levy massive fines in the billions. Then they would allow the victim corporation 2 to 1 credit for fines paid to designated social justice groups. Often, they would just dictate that a portion of the settlement had to go to such groups.

They shook down private companies for billions that went to hard left groups. Just like Jesse Jackson used to do, they often intimidated companies with threats of media bashing if they didn’t “contribute”. Often they used a “sue and settle” strategy to directly fund these groups from the public treasury.

My hope is that this huge wealth will be largely stolen by individuals in these organizations, or squandered inefficiently - but the hard left was enriched like never before in American history.

We should seek to halt and recoup as much as possible, and cut off the thousand streams of payments from Government agencies to such organizations.

I do not know how far back this charade goes...at least 10 years or more. This is how it works: Either the DOJ, or plaintiff’s counsel files a class action lawsuit against a large corporation alleging some wrongdoing. When a notice of lawsuit is mailed out to consumers supposedly wronged by the corporation and a large number of them fail to respond, the DOJ or plaintiff’s counsel then select a leftist non-profit organization to receive the settlement funds in lieu of the supposedly wronged group of consumers. This usually is a very large sum in the millions of dollars fleeced from the corporation. I have watched many of these totally in the billions of dollars over the years.

and Paul Ryan, Bonehead let him get away with it.
All spending begins in the House of Representatives.

In the private sector, all purchases have checks and balances.
Violating them will get you prison time.

And not one peep from the corrupt, partisan media, aka, the enemy.

After the clouds lift we should DEMAND justice and investigation in to the mainstream media. Jail time for executives for sedition.

Jesse Jackson has been doing this for years.

And this is why the left goes after the DOJ. It prevents them from doing their jobs. This is what they did to Gonzalez.


They fight for every inch. Meanwhile, Turtle McConnell is running his shop under regular order.

So far, Sessions does not seem to have done anything. I think he is an empty suit.

Obama and soroz should be forced to repay these thefts !!! And the seven trillion of new debt for the infrastructure Obama eventually had to admit didn’t get built

Well well well dishonest shake downs. Obama sending government regulatory court fines to their left-wing and nutter sockpuppets. Congress needs to close this BS. And another campaign issue for Rs and Trump for 2018, and 2020.

How did FUBO get his hands on our money? I thought Congress held the purse.

no rule of law, no guidance by the US Constitution. No action thanks to the #nevertrump aholes. I’m getting pist.
