Senior Justice Department officials in the Obama administration illegally used political bias to determine who would receive settlement money.

I’m probably not breaking new ground on FR when I say Holder must be tried and executed for his crimes against the American people, Lest our entire system be reduced to a third world-level farce.

There’s something very, very smelly, if not downright illegal (there’s almost always a law somewhere) about strong-arming directed settlements. If the settlements can’t be directed to the aggrieved parties, they should go to the public treasury... but that would be subject to Congressional disbursement rather than a politically brokered plea deal.

So instead, $1B found its way to hardcore leftist groups such as La Raza.

See this thread for where this money did go.

Holder and others know they have little to fear with Jeff Sessions (asleep?) in the Driver’s Seat.

In one such email in July 2014, a senior Justice Department official expressed “concerns” about what groups would receive settlement money from Citigroup — saying

..they didn’t want money going to a group that does “conservative property-rights legal services.”


And another email asks...

“Can you explain to Tony the best way to allocate some money to an organization of our choosing?”

That so-called administration was nothing more than a left-wing crime syndicate with some spiffy graphics designers.

Holder should be among the very first interviewed, under oath, by Congress.

“It is not every day in congressional investigations that we find a smoking gun,” Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Tuesday. “Here, we have it.”

It's one thing to find it, another to use it. USE IT!

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so they can use the power of government to loot the public treasuries and rob the taxpayers.

Nothing these pirates do should be surprising here, but Joe America will be interested to learn of their crimes.

I’ll believe this when I see Holder as a defendant in a courtroom.

Those shakedowns, er, fines, were reparations. Whole lotta reparations during Obama’s tenure, starting with the Pigford looting.

Many years ago, in a far distant administration, I had a senior manager propose having a company subject to $Millions in civil money penalties due to Treasury be allowed to make "Donations" (tax-deductible by the way) to a "Worthy Group" as an alternative to paying their NON DEDUCTIBLE penalties. The case had already been to several levels of judicial revue. I refused to agree and watched the individual closely thereafter!

The story should be about the amount of incidents that happened under Barry’s time in office that were never reported in the MSM.
