Most DOJ lawyers aren’t crooks.  Some are.  (Stay tuned for a big PJ Media story about more lawlessness inside DOJ when it comes to voting issues).  If you had any doubt that some inside DOJ are totally corrupt – and that Office of Professional Responsibility runs interference for them – read this court opinion from this week.

The long opinion relates to DOJ lawyer misconduct in the criminal case against New Orleans police officers arising out of Hurricane Katrina.  The case was brought by the US Attorney in New Orleans and the Civil Rights Division at DOJ. 

At page 33, the court makes clear what he thinks of the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility’s ability to handle DOJ lawyer misconduct.  The judge shares the opinion I expressed in this piece at PJ Media, “The Justice Department Fix is In,” involving to the OPR on the New Black Panther dismissal. 

Over the last few years, I have met numerous statewide and federal elected officials who fully understand that when they are dealing with the Eric Holder Justice Department, particularly the Civil Rights Division, they are not dealing with honest brokers – and sometimes outright rouges.  It seems members of the federal bench are also starting to get the message.

Of course you can read extensive details about more lawyer misconduct at DOJ, some of it costing millions of dollars in sanctions, in my book Injustice.
