Every Single One: The Politicized Hiring of Eric Holder’s Voting Section
This “expose” is ridiculous. These new hirees were hired by career attorneys within the DOJ, not political appointees. The author of the article is just trying to draw a false equivalency because he himself purposefully injected partisanship into the hiring decisions and enforrcement decision of the Civil Rights Division.
And von Spasovsky provides ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE that the DOJ has hired any unqualified attorneys, turned down any qualified conservative applicant or injected partisan politics into the enforecement of the law. (By contrast, the OIG for the DOJ determined that political appointees like SB. Schlozman injected themselves into the hiring process, prevented career section chiefs from reviewing applicant resumes, rejected qualified “liberal” applicants and and hiring only “real Americans” [Shlozman's words, not mine])
Moreoevr, the author’s methodology for determining whether someone is “far left” is highly subjective and flawed.
