Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday that the federal civil rights investigation into the 2012 killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin remains active, noting “recent developments” in the case.
The Justice Department is weighing charges against George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Martin in an incident that captured national interest.
Zimmerman was acquitted of murder charges more than a year ago, but the Justice Department is still running down leads as part of its civil rights probe, Holder said.
“That matter is ongoing,” said Holder, who was asked about the case during a news conference announcing the opening of another civil rights investigation centered on the Ferguson, Mo., police force in the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Justice Department officials said civil rights investigations generally last months, though the Martin shooting probe has stretched on much longer.
“There are active steps that we are still in the process of taking,” Holder said. “There are witnesses who we want to speak to as a result of some recent developments.”
He did not elaborate on those new developments.
How’s that IRS hard drive investigation coming?
Harassment! Persecution!
H0lder needs to be probed somewhere between Saturn and Neptune.
If there’s still any justice in this world Holder will be getting probed in prison after 2016.

JD: We just reviewed your personal history and found out that you (fill in the blank). Now, of course, if you cooperate .....
The only one who had his civil rights were violated was George Zimmerman. First by the thug, Trayvon Martin, who used a racial slur against him and then assaulted him, and then by the State of Florida who maliciously prosecuted him, knowing he was 100% innocent.
Recent developments- does that mean that some whitey hatin' thug has come up with a new lie about the incident that hasn't been tried before?
Apparently defending oneself from a feral criminal is a civil rights violation somehow if the feral is of a certain melanin content?
So the DOJ will see that the officers civil rights were adhered to??
What officer would that be?
Ongoing federal government intimidation against whites.
I’m livid, not scared. And why the hell isn’t Zimmerman in Peru?
Don’t forget that Trayvon assaulted Zimmerman because he thought he was gay, as set forth in the last telephone conversation with his girlfriend.
Be patient.
No one said that manufacturing irrefutable evidence from scratch was easy or fast.
No time for the IRS, he’s on a fishing expedition.
Trayvon was trying to kill Zimmerman. Zimmerman interfered with his pursuit of happiness and thereby violated his civil rights.

If you or I were to threaten to bring charges we would be subject to prosecution. Threatening to sue is acceptable. Threatening criminal prosecution is illegal.
If we get the Senate and keep the House the impeachment of Holder must be the very first piece of business.
