....The United States Commission on Civil Rights, a bipartisan agency charged with advising the president and Congress on civil rights matters, unanimously approved a comprehensive two-year probe into the degree to which current budgets and staffing levels allow civil rights offices to perform their functions within the administration, said the agency in a statement.

The commission, created under the Civil Rights Act and funded by Congress, expressed specific worry in seven agencies under the president, including the Department of Education and the Department of Justice.

The investigation will also look into the departments of Labor, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Environmental Protection Agency and the Legal Services Corporation which are all expected to slash budget and personnel that monitor civil rights.
While the commission does not have the ability to enforce the findings of its investigation, it will present the final report to Congress at the end of 2019. After that, its up to legislators to act.

Civil Rights Commission pops out of it’s hole again ping
While the commission does not have the ability to enforce the findings of its investigation, it will present the final report to Congress at the end of 2019..
So it has no power. Except the ability to get paid nicely and attack Trump every so often with updates.
The republicans in any capacity in DC are NOT our friends, folks.
Take a hint.
Who is funding this? Defund immediately!
Just another witch hunt. Theses phony investigations are all the left has left. Pathetic.
“The commission, created under the Civil Rights Act and funded by Congress”
Taxpayers are funding this group. I don’t think congress is taking money out of their pockets.
All the Washington insiders are still trying to mount Trump’s head on a pike.
They are just trying to keep their base together.
Used to be led by Marxist Mary Berry, a leftist hag leftover from the 60’s.
It was always anti-Republican and pro-whatever leftist nutcase group filed a complaint, real or imagined.
Time to defund them completely.
Perhaps they should consider applying the money for this ‘study’ to the programs they are actually charged with maintaining.
This is like giving the funds for a police investigation to the target of the investigation and expecting a valid, impartial outcome.
Drain the damn swamp, already, Donald!
swamp fights back
Exactly. Eliminate the budget of the swamp. Won’t happen until more RINO’s are replaced in the primary elections.
We truly have an enemy within our walls
The number one rule of bureaucracies is to protect the bureaucracy at all costs. Here is a sterling example of that.
Current composition of the 8 voting members has a single GOPer, Peter Kirsanow, two 'Independent' Presidential appointees plus a matching 'I' Congressional appointment with the rest being the 'D' Party!
A boondoggle to investigate lack of funding?
What are civil rights? and who has these 'civil rights'?
***Civil Rights Commission will launch a two year investigation of Trump Administration..**
Investigate for two years? The administration is just barely six months old. Only in the DC. Neff said.
