“Justice Department Inspector General Pushes Holder on Misconduct,” Including Voting Section

My latest at PJ Media:

“Michael E. Horowitz, the Department of Justice Inspector General, published a memorandum to Attorney General Eric Holder and Deputy Attorney General James Cole about “challenges” facing the Justice Department.  On the list of challenges were misconduct and malfeasance by DOJ employees and units which PJ Media has been reporting about for years. . . .


PJ Media reported years ago that the Obama administration brings lawsuits attacking voter ID but brazenly refuses to enforce other voting laws such as Section 8 of the National Voting Registration Act which requires states to maintain clean voting rolls.  This policy was announced in my presence when I was at the DOJ by then Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes (who now works for George Soros’ Open Society Foundations spreading his billions to leftist groups to further undermine election integrity).


Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina, on the other hand, feel the full weight of DOJ attacks on election integrity measures in those states.


In the years that we have been reporting on this cherry picking policy, not a single case has been brought by DOJ to clean up voting rolls. Indeed, sources report that DOJ Voting Section Chief Chris Herren rushed out letters to states asking questions about corrupted rolls after our reports were published.  But this was window dressing to disguise the real policy of inaction.  Not one single case has been brought by DOJ since Obama’s inauguration in 2009.  In the 2012 election, over four million ineligible voters were on state rolls.


Leftists defending this corrupt inaction called it “prosecutorial discretion.”   The Inspector General (appointed by President Obama) apparently disagrees with their dismissal of the matter. . . .



And let’s be clear: “conservative” in DOJ Civil Rights parlance means a lawyer who isn’t willing to bring a lawsuit of marginal merit to appease a left wing race interest group.  Merely following the existing caselaw can brand a lawyer as an enemy of the regime inside the Civil Rights Division.  Part of the express agenda inside Civil Rights is to push the frontiers of legal theory and expand the number of claims a plaintiff alleging racial grievances can bring.  Everything is about racial factions. Racial factions are the New Hungry Constituency. It’s redistribution time at DOJ, and the public litigation record proves it.



It might be hard for regular Americans to believe that DOJ employees who committed perjury and lied to Congress are still employed by the taxpayers, and I’m not just talking about Eric Holder.”
