Attorney General Eric Holder will brief President Obama Monday on possible actions the federal government can take in Ferguson, Mo., after another night of clashes prompted Gov. Jay Nixon (D-Mo.) to call in the National Guard.
"The president has asked the attorney general to come in tomorrow to brief him on the state of the investigation on the ground,” said senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett in an interview with American Urban Radio Monday.
Jarrett said Holder would also discuss “any further actions that the federal government could play to help reduce the violence down to zero and make sure the public understands completely the scope of the investigation and what's going on on the ground.” The president and Holder are scheduled to meet at 1:15 p.m. in the Oval Office, following the worst night yet in the St. Louis suburb.

Audio of two minute interview by April Ryan with Valerie Jarrett.
Ryan also reports six DOJ offices involved in Ferguson: "...the FBI, Civil Rights Division, COPS, CRS-Community Relations Service, OJP-Office Of Justice Programs, and the US Attorneys Office."
He might as well start shopping for a cross to be crucified from.
Don’t they mean “GUN” violence? Without a “gun” in the title it lowers it to just plain old, run of the mill, everyday, insignificant violence. But at least iran’s fav daughter has spoken.
How nice. What about Chicago? At least Herbert Hoover sent Eliot Ness and the Feds when the Chicago police were too corrupt and inept to stop the violence. Despite his vaunted pen and phone what has Obama done to help his “hometown”?
Feed him to the lions. Its the MO of totalitarians.
How about telling the truth and telling people to be patient and wait for all the facts and evidence to come out?
Why not Chicago?
If he’s smart he would get his immediate family to a safe place and leave a false trail.
Did lizard face Valerie Jarrett make this statement before or after her lunch of insects?
If Obambi really wants to calm the storm...then why hasn’t he from the get-go made a personal appeal or make an appearance?
After all, these are the thugs, er voters, that give him almost 100% support. Surely they would listen to The Messiah, no?
I guess O really doesn’t want peace and nonviolence there. Not good for Novemeber
Ya, I was thinking that too. This isn’t over by a long shot.
There is still action to be taken by the DA, a report of the investigation, and possibly a grand jury looking into this.
If we don’t see an indictment for 1st degree murder, the mobs will be at it again, take to the streets. Sharpton and his boys will be outraged if that happens.
If there is an indictment, but a trial finds the cop not guilty, similarly, the liberals and race baiters will be shocked, just shocked, and say how American justice is stacked against minorities.
If there is a plea bargain of some kind in this case, the liberals will say the cop got off easy.
The liberals already have their knee jerk responses ready, depending on what happens next.
That’s exactly what they’re going to do . . Zimmerman here. Ruin his life with false charges and and a propaganda campaign to taint a jury. Trial by press, kangaroo court. If nothing else, they will throw an “unnecessary force” and thus a “civil rights” violation at him, since the initial narratives don’t hold water. No “hands up” BS or shots in the back.
How about telling the truth and telling people to be patient and wait for all the facts and evidence to come out?
We can’t do that. The liberals and race baiters decided early on that this was a case of an innocent black man, minding his own business, being shot in cold blood by a racist cop, for no reason.
Any facts which don’t agree with their narrative will be disregarded.
I haven’t heard the spin yet, on how the liberals will explain that Brown was shot in the front, not in the back. So clearly lies were told that he was running away and shot down from behind. I can’t wait to hear the liberal spin on that inconvenient truth.
My suspicion is that Ferguson will be a test case for Obama and Holder’s ultimate goal: the direct federal takeover of municipal government under the guise of “protecting” the citizens. Democrats, as Rahm Emmanuel so famously stated - “You never let a serious crisis go to waste”. Throw gas on the fire and then send in your own firemen; i.e. DOJ officials, FBI and the National Guard. The 1/3 of Ferguson that is still white are likely packing their bags and facing the hard choice of abandoning businesses and homes for the safety of their families. Ethnic cleansing, American style.
Obama and Holder, match meets gasoline.
Yet not a word about Chicago.
