Emails Confirm: Obama DOJ Funneled Big Bank Settlement Money To Liberal Groups
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/24/2017 | Jack Crowe

Emails written by Obama administration Department of Justice officials confirm reports the agency engaged in a systemic effort to funnel money to liberal advocacy organizations from settlements reached with big banks.

The documents, obtained by the House Judiciary Committee as part of an ongoing investigation, reveal the Obama Justice Department effectively skirted Congress’s budgetary authority by requiring that major financial institutions donate to a group of affordable housing nonprofits and legal advocacy organizations as part of settlement agreements resulting from predatory mortgage lending practices.

The internal DOJ documents represent the latest revelation in a two-year investigation spearheaded by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.

The investigation has thus far yielded evidence implicating the Obama DOJ in using mandatory donations to funnel roughly $1 billion in settlement money to activist groups, including The National Council of La Raza, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition and the National Urban League. The list of third party organizations were unrelated to the legal settlements, except through general claims that they would use the funds to aid the low income Americans most severely harmed by predatory lending practices.

0bama weaponized every facet of government.

Oh, that he did. Now he will be investigated, tried and convicted for his many crimes, including sedition and treason.

Where do you begin? Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Flooding our nation with third world immigrants and MS-13, attacking Christianity and praising Islam, the Apology tour, the sanctuary city mess and assault on American citizens, (How many assaults, battery, rapes, robberies, murders?)the ME mess and creation of ISIS, the bailout of Iraq so ISIS could grow, the Uranium One illegalities, the Dossier Debacle, the Iran giveaway, the Bergdahl treason, DWS and the Awan brothers, Hillary's many crimes which occurred under his watch and with his blessing, the unmasking scandals, weaponizing, as you said, every facet of government, promoting Cloward-Piven, infiltrating our Federal Government with Muslims, Obamacare, (set up to fail as a pretext to single payer socialized medicine), promoting the anti-capitalist Global Warming/Climate Change hoax, the Obama Spying Scandal. . and so much more.

For starters, have some trusted FBI staff raid his house and get those WH computers out of there. Obama is a national security risk. His Organizing for Action, BLM, Antifa, DSA and CPUSA are still fomenting sedition, anarchy and revolution. Get ready for November 4!

Wouldn't it be fun to negotiate with the Vietnamese to get John McLame to return to Hanoi Hilton for his final resting home?

This would be a homecoming of sorts for dear John. He got along so well with the prison guards. He must miss the place.

I'm sure President Trump would slightly relax the tariff on Vietnamese goods to enable John to return to his home of heroism captivity.

Not even our worst enemy deserves such treatment. GOD has His own plans for a traitor like John. He is the One to judge; perhaps His plan is teaching John how to fight for something really important (in John’s self absorbed ego).

For heaven’s sake...that is a shakedown.

That is a really big list.

But, with respect to the people involved,

Some are more equal than others.

You nailed it. That's exactly the problem. Hopefully the two tiered justice system, the elites and us folks, plus as I see it, the two tiered racial justice system that's developed, will be resolved. This reverse racism business and "if you're black and an elite, you're untouchable" is getting worse. Obama has always gotten a pass. .

Just keep it simple. The law is the law and applies equally to everyone. What's so hard about that?
