Criminal Rot Spreads Through Justice Department
Consider the case of perjury inside the Voting Section. Hans von Spakovsky has this story regarding repeated perjury during a DOJ Inspector General investigation. Sources tell me nothing whatsoever has happened to the person. The Washington Times also had a story about a DOJ employee using government funds to travel to Florida to meet a girlfriend, to the tune of at least $30,000. DOJ sources tell me this person received a tasty buyout package.
What happens to assistant United States attorneys working in the Eastern District of Virginia who surf child porn at work in the Obama Justice Department? Nothing.
The Justice Department is supposed to represent the finest ideals of law enforcement. Under the Obama administration, we have multiple instances of high and low officials inside the DOJ allegedly engaging in criminal activity. Yet there is no accountability.
Perjury, bribes, graft, more perjury, in the United States Department of Justice. This is rot of the highest order. It, frankly, trivializes most of the shocking and disturbing facts I reveal in my book Injustice. I suppose that’s what book sequels are for. You can be sure the American people will become familiar with the details before the election in November. You can be sure they won’t like what they hear.
Update: The post was updated to include more unpunished crimes by DOJ employees. H/T to the Lady Behind the Hotel Door.
Obama and his crew are so steeped in their toxic and corrupted view of America, their behavior simply reflects the way they believe the system has always worked. I believe they are cynically, knowingly lying with all their overblown rhetoric and promises of comity and renewal. They couldn’t wait to seize the reins of power and bulldoze their radical agenda through at any cost. Laws? Damn them! they’re to keep the little sheeple in line.
Obama has suckled on the notion that America is wholly an exploitative fascist and racist nation. Now that the tables have turned and he is in power – he’ll show his oppressors up at their own game. Never mind his narrative is a largely concocted one by the hard Left to agitate and subvert. Obama has drunken so deeply from the poisoned chalice that he believes the worst about America in every fiber of his being. Commie/Muslim fascist parents – Commie racist wife – commie racist anti-white anti-American pastor – best friends with commie terrorists and coddled by the commie press – what else did the dupes of Maericans who voted for him expect???
And precisely HOW will the American people become familiar with the details before the election in November?
Are prosecutions in the pipeline? Has someone in the MSM grown a spine? Rumaged around and found their conscience? Decided to report facts rather than opinion or rumor?
One can hope. Meanwhile, if even one more lib reporter remarks how “scandal-free” this administration is, my head will explode.
Doesn’t matter how bone-corrupt this crew’s actions are –unless something breaks out in the state media, there’s no ‘scandal’, the administration remains ‘scandal-free’. It’s in the definition of the word.
Of course the state media is the enabling scandal, and the handful of people who control it are criminals in every sense but the narrowest technical.
Since reportage is a matter of taste and judgment, there is nothing to remedy this sorry state of affairs, save for the free marketplace –which enemy has been well-recognized and is as a result under severe all-fronts attack, by this most foul and alien metamorphic iteration of the American Fourth Estate.
is doing a good job on this, and other stories, but, its been a week or so since obama deliberately ignored a georgia subpoena and failed to show up in court, and pjmedia, just like all the “state” media, hasn’t said one word about this, or what the subpoena was about, or anything, and as far as I know, this posting of mine is the only one on the pjmedia website that has bothered to mention this georgia story.
Lots of talk about the subpoena. Here’s why I haven’t written about it. The case will be dismissed after appeals, and the President of the United States will not need to appear.
That’s too bad. I’m sure I couldn’t appeal after the fact if I ignored a subpoena. Is that characteristic of a more fair and just society? Their are so many indicators of fraud with this guy, the only question is what is he hiding. The truth shall set him free…lol.
@bear – you would if you were an elected or appointed official who either didn’t agree with the subpoena or thought the entity issueing or requestion the subpoena didn’t have the authority to do so. It’s easy to not like something when somebody you don’t like does it, so lets take an example from somebody many here like: Sarah Palin. Now, it’s pretty well known that I don’t like Palin and I actually think that she did violate the Alaska Public Records Act with her use of personal email accounts and her trying to withhold lots of her communications. That said, just as she did, I would have responded to Democrat and other complainant subpoeanae when I ran out of courts to appeal them to, and some I might have just refused to accept. There are real limits to what one branch of government can compel another branch to do; they have some powers over each other, but the only way to find out the contours and limits of those powers is to test them. And sometimes you just do it so you can string it out past the election.
“Eric Holder is both incompetent and ideologically radical. ”
Just taking after his boss. US cannot tolerate 4 more years of this regime.
“… is both incompetent and ideologically radical. You cannot have a more toxic mix atop the Department of Justice. ”
Yes, Dr. Adams, there is a more toxic mix: BHO at the top of the entire executive branch is both incompetent and ideologically radical.
nobody will know, and nothing will happen, unless . . . frankly, I have no idea. any suggestions, anybody?
I believe the nearest thing to what you might be thinking is called ‘The Last Judgement’, but that won’t be for at least another thousand years. Bummer….
Has anyone looked in to what Holder received for walking through the Marc Rich pardon? We know part of what Clinton got in the way of Presidential Library contributions but what was in the deal for Holder to completely disregard procedures in place to approve the whole thing?
Have you got a couple hours to spare? Well, for just one thing, the votes for president that went to Obama due to the manipulated spike of gasoline prices in Spring/Summer of 2008.

Just 8 comments on this criminal administration! No wonder we won’t be able to get rid of it.
Can we all boycott the sponser of the msm until they respond?
What can we get them to do – sue them?
Well, Obama’s campaign promise to “transform America” is just about complete: with the able assistance of the MSM, we’ve become a Banana Republic.

This is a serious matter … dismissed after appeals? BS!! The POTUS should not be above the law …. … willfully flaunting authority he doesn’t have; telling the courts what they can do and can’t do!!!
This will not end well for Obama.
Holder reflects the intent of 0bama’s quest for the Presidency.. To “CHANGE” our form of government by making appointments which DECREASE the people’s TRUST in America’s free-market, capitalist Republic. Distrust leads to the implementation of MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION which results AN ENTIRELY NEW COUNTRY: ‘NATIONAL SOCIALIST AMERICA’. This was 0bama’s mission all along and his willful ‘era of distrust’ is going exactly the way he had planned.
I have a suggestion. One for which I may be put in jail. When any branch of government becomes corrupt or unable to perform its duties, it is the right and duty of its citizens to remove them. Load your guns, coordinate your movements and march on Washington.
If you don’t enforce the law because it is not “just” then it is easy to rationalize not enforcing the law in other contexts too.
I hate to admit it but, what L. NcKInnon suggested is about the only thing that will make a difference to the current Administration. No law pertains to them and they exclude themselves from what the law requires. Yet, you hear so many people crying, he’s only trying to correct all the mess Bush got us into!! As I said, L.McKinnon has a point and one we should SERIOUSLY consider…
It’s been corrupt for over 6 years – with the bogus indictment of Conrad Burns in 2005 just in time for his reelection. The indictment was dropped within weeks of his defeat by John Tester. The Ted Stevens conviction in 2008 was the second example. Prosecutorial misconduct on that one. Same group of bozos also convicted a number of Alaska legislators. Most of those convictions were also tossed due to prosecutorial misconduct.
They stole 2 seats in the US Senate over the last 6 years. They tossed several Alaska legislators into jail. They are practicing lawfare for the democrats. RICO ought to be in their future. Perhaps it will be. Cheers -
All that is the wages of Republican incompetence. Republicans have proven themselves pretty good at getting elected and not worth a damn at doing anything once elected. Just like Republicans at every level of government all over the Country, GWB put a thin veneer of friends and supporters, only some of whom were competent, over the Clinton Administration, which he left largely in place. At the regional level and below, the US government is run by Democrats. Below the high-level appointees, most state and local governments are run by Democrats and the Republican Governor or mayor wonders why s/he is leaked, thwarted, and sabotaged right out of office.
Frankly, neither the US nor most state governments could actually be run by Republicans; there simply aren’t enough loyal, competent Republicans who would take all the jobs. Governments are designed by Democrats to be run by Democrats and employ as many Democrats as possible. When I hear ONE Republican talking about re-organizing the US government, I’ll know they’ve finally become serious about governing.
A reorg is what Bush and Cheney did to the CIA weasels who spent years undermining him in the Middle East. Worked well then. Will work again.
Another example is what Frank did up here, leaving all the Knowles appointees in place after he was elected. They destroyed him and opened the door for Sarah. But you already know that. Cheers -
God knows we tried to tell Murkowski! The director of personnel and I handed him a fully fleshed out reorganization plan that would run the government pretty much entirely from the Governors Office, styled “Put the Management back in OMB” that would allow him to fire all the holdovers yet still maintain control of the government. Frankly, it was a lot like Comrade Obama’s “Czars” scheme – great minds and all that. We did prototype it with the HR/LR reorganization that was and remains under constant attack from the congenital ‘crats. We replaced maybe 30% of the Knowles and earlier directors and below, even kept some holdovers in Commissioners’ offices. I well know how hard it is to find Republicans who’ll take a directors job where you don’t get paid all that well and actually have to know something other than the Governor’s first name, but, Hell, Commissioners’ Office people; the only job description for a Deputy Commissioner or Special Assistant is “knows somebody,” and we still kept holdovers! The Congenital ‘Crats were howling so badly about losing their ability to hire their girlfriends over the HR re-org that we brought in a Knowles holdover director and made the prick a Deputy Commissioner in Admin to try to make people happy that we should have fired. ‘Course then the brilliant Sarah Palin came along and fired almost all the Murkowski appointees, brought in a few of her Wasilly buddies that didn’t know where the light switches and restrooms were, and turned the government totally back over to the holdover Democrats – and she wonders why she had such troubles. Other than the ones on personal email accounts, I’ll guarantee you that the DNC had every email and memo sent to or from Sarah and any of her close staff within 12 hours of McCain announcing her nomination. The whole charade of asking for them under the PRA was, one, to keep it an issue, and, two, to make it legal to have them. I tried to take all the IT people out of bargaining or into “confidential” status under Hickel, but the unions strung it out until after Knowles took office and, of course, since the labor relations agency reads the paper, we lost and the administration didn’t appeal. Anything that is done on a state computer by anyone who is anyone is in the unions and the Democrats’ hands often before it is in the hands of the intended recipient. If you understand that, you have a lot of fun writing complex briefing and decision memos for the sole purpose of having some AFSCME steward steal it and give it to the Daily Worker, er, News.
Now, since the people working for Parnell don’t know any better, they’re giving what little of the reorganization that Sarah didn’t destroy back to the Democrats. Damn, I’m glad I retired when I did; if I were to go back, every appointee in State government would be fired while the air was still moving from the new Governor taking his/her hand off The Bible. I’d hire maybe a third of them back after they missed a paycheck and kissed the ring because they’re really just apolitical technocrats, but the rest, I’d enjoy watching them lose their boats, million dollar houses, and “special friends.”
Very demoralizing post.
@Bear – Sorry it is demoralizing; it really should inspire you and every other Republican to seriously look at how government works. This poster and I are kinda’ insider Alaskans and we know a lot of war stories, but our war stories aren’t a lot different from those that anybody in any Republican government in the Country could tell if they knew what they were looking at. The big Republican problem is that most of them are nice guys and gals who came up through the PTA, the Chamber, the Rotary, the Trade Association or whatever. They don’t have a clue how to deal with Alinsky disciple or Meany School trained Democrat or union apparatchiks.
I’ve had some experience with state and county government in my home state (as a function of being in the IT business). It was a huge change from dealing with Science and Engineering professionals for the first 25 years of my career. Your post just reaffirms some of the things I’ve observed, mostly around the Peter Principle. I’ve never been north of Seattle on the left coast.
Just a postscript and, oh, I figured out who you are; like a lot of your stuff. Anyway, a lot of the keeping people on really could be laid at Frank’s COS, Jim Clark’s, feet and I don’t think it was nefarious, just naive. And I say that as someone who really likes him and had a good personal and professional relationship with him. He knew a lot of those people socially and to him they were “good people,” and socially a lot of them are. God knows there’s plenty of Republicans I count my fingers after shaking hands with and one of the ones the DOJ ran to ground was notorious in JNU for showing up at the grip ‘n grins that had fancy food like King Crab, filling his pockets with expensive food, and leaving; big loss of style points if nothing else. I don’t think a lot of people are prepared for just how nasty and vicious some of the Democrat operatives and even some of the officeholders can be. And the union hands are in a league of their own and by comparison to the ones from DC, the locals are “nice guys.”
Jim finally got a clue but by then it was too late and the wheels just came off after he stepped aside as COS and turned everyday operations over to Nizich and Frasca; the barbarians were inside the gates and were handed the keys to the city. After I retired Jim came to me wanting me to do some oppo research on some of the people who became very important to Palin on natural resouce issues, especially the TransCanada deal, but I felt hinky about it and didn’t see any reason to expose myself for an Administration that was clearly over. The last year is never easy, but Frank’s last year was just a free for all to see who could line up a lobbying contract or somehow get their hands in the till. I looked around and didn’t see anybody in my chain of command that I had any personal or professional respect for and decided July 1, 2006, was a good day to go fishing. Miss it sometimes but not enough to actually do what you have to do to get a job with any influence. Maybe with the right governor, maybe COS; the first six months would be entertaining if nothing else.
The absolute best, most friggin honest, on the point comment I have read here.
Damn. How many of us having been thinking this for the past, what, 50 years or so. We suck at governing. Even when we have majorities in both houses, rare I know, and our prez, we still could not shrink the government.
We always compromise with the Communists just to get along and for good coverage. If we take a great position at the first sign of MSM criticism we cave. And then we form a circular firing squad and blaze away.
And now our best hopes are sitting it out because they do not want to savaged by the press, our RINO leaders, and communists agitprop.
Thank you for the kind words.
What bothers me is the conspiratorial tone things have these days. I’ve been around the block enough times to always choose incompetence before conspiracy to explain anything in government. Republicans don’t have the shadow government of unions, advocacy groups, law firms, etc., so they don’t have much of a cohort of skilled political operatives. They have election consultant types who can get you elected, but they don’t have many people who can actually develop a program and implement it. The big problem Republican officeholders have is that they have to be shown to their office and briefed on their agency’s function by a Democrat.
We on the right need to look at the way we develop and vett candidates. The “hail fellow, well met” from the Rotary or the Chamber really, really isn’t prepared to deal with the Alinsky disciple or the Meany School-trained union rep, another kind of Alinsky disciple but they try to hide their communist ties. If you’ve played the game with them, they’re totally predictable and fairly easy to deal with. First and foremost they are fakes and bullies. They never really make a definitive proposal; they make some vague pie-in-the-sky proposal that panders to the malcontents and which would never pass a legislative body or be accepted by any group of adults that had to pay for it. Of course, as soon as it is rejected, the let slip the dogs of the media and the Republicans immediately begin bargaining with themselves to try to come up with something they can “live with” and that the Democrats will buy off on. The “buy off” always comes dear and usually the Democrats eviscerate them for going back on their statements in opposition to the Democrats’ crazy-assed scheme. The Ds can keep this game going right up to election time and the Republicans are facing re-election with their polls in the toilet and no airspeed, altitude, or ideas.
The solution is confrontation, but Republicans hate it and hate to be around people who don’t hate it. Republicans should have dared the communist SOB to cut off Social Security checks and run their own ads about how he was threatening to throw Granny over the cliff. Call him on never actually making a real proposal; say “when we see a written proposal, we’ll consider it; we’re not doing his work for him.” I know it’s racist to say the SOB won’t work, but none of them will, black or white; I could count on my fingers the number of serious written proposals I’ve gotten from a union in the last twenty years. They bargain by press release while complaining that the other side wants to bargain in the press. Republicans really can’t use Rules for Radicals; you can’t get a group of Republicans to have a bean dinner before going to a city council meeting or legislative hearing, but Republicans need to know the Alinsky playbook so they can call the appropriate play. For dealing with the Alinsky disciples there really is only one Republican Rule for Radicals: Never, Never, Ever give them what they want! You can figure out what the want and expect you to do, so don’t do it; ain’t that hard.
I always think of third world countries as masters of that. Well, I guess the US really has lost its status as a world leader.
It also makes it easier for Holder to control attorneys that he has major dirt on that could result in prison time.
These horrifying facts should be reported by all of the mainstream media, but they would rather cover up for the Obama/Clinton administration. If the media had reported the facts about Obama, Obama would NEVER have been elected president.
I know of another scam at DOJ: frightening and pressuring innocent citizens into turning over their bank accounts to DOJ lawyers when said citizens have ben “caught” “money laundering.”
Here’s how it works: If someone, for whatever personal reason, chooses to make deposits in cash, and the pattern is “discovered,” the DOJ will nform that person that they’ve done something “suspicious” and possibly “illegal.” the $10,000 cash limit doesn’t apply — deposits in the hundreds are sufficient to raise a red flag. The DOJ person will then tell the “accused” that in order to make this “problem” go away, the person must agree to forfeit 60% of his/her bank account balance to the DOJ.
I’m not making this up. It happened to a friend of mine in 2010. Attorneys at another federal agency told him this was naked extortion. In his case the threat was eventually dropped, perhaps because the miscreants at DOJ were found out (I don’t know). My friend’s ordeal cannot be an isolated incident.
“The fish rots from the head”.
Considering the lawlessness and corruption of the Obama Administration and it’s minions what do you expect.
Remember a third world government creates a third world economy.
Obama, the worst president since Warren Harding.
Well, Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore. We’re in Chicago on the Potmac and the Black Wiz rules.
Check google news. Not an effing thing about this. MSM covering for Obama.
Ok then. You be one smart attorney with experience in that department. Are you telling me that you can’t write up some draft articles of impeachment or SOMETHING to hand to Rep. Issa and get them moving on solving this problem? Why all the whining if you can’t or won’t do anything either. Just selling books I guess. If I had some edumacation I’d be pointing it at that problem. I think what this tells me is that the citizens of this ‘We the People’ republic have NO POWER to correct what is wrong on our own and have to depend on corrupt politicians of both parties. How sad you so smart no havey plan of action. Drafting articles of impeachment and such to your web site with a petition for us to submit to the committee members seems like something PJMedia would be capable of doing. Why not? Has it really come down to the fact that ONLY the Second Amendment is our protection now?
SeantorMark4: Mark – if you want to draw up these articles of impeachment, feel free and post them here. I’ll approve your comment. You can even mail them to Issa yourself.
You don’t need evidence to impeach, you need votes. Where are you going to get 51 votes to convict any Democrat of anything in the Democrat-controlled Senate?
The IGs report to Congress, now run by Republicans. The the oversight committee was convinced of wrongdoing can’t they quickly bring officials onto the carpet and wash it out? On the other hand, if Congress isn’t convinced, wouldn’t they settle for drawing out the process and letting mere accusations gnaw away at the Administration’s reputation?
I’m not much of a fan of Obama, but if Congress doesn’t pursue this stuff aggressively I conclude criminal allegations are posturing and don’t portray real wrongdoing.
It is not accurate to say the “IGs report to Congress.” They do not. They are independent offices which do not report to Congress. Many of their reports are never released to the public, much less to Congress. Congress does not have the time to pursue every allegation.
IMO, since most if not all IG’s are integral parts of the departments they are charged with monitoring, and report to the heads of those departments, which any sane person would regard as a blatant conflict of interest, it’s fairly easy to understand why most of their stuff gets buried or ignored. Think Kabuki theatre at its finest
And this is something new? NOT, this has gone on for many many years. And Congress, take a close look at all the “Lobbying”, what do you think that is??? Paying large sums of money to get what ever you want passed… One example is in 1937 when Rockefeller and DuPont paid Congress to have Marijuana made illegal. Rockefeller felt his timber interests would be in jeopardy and DuPont did not like the fact that Hemp Rope sold better and was more durable than their nylon rope. Do your research and find out the truths behind the payola in our government. And, always remember that behind every great fortune, there is a crime…
Holder could be thrown under the bus. This DOJ fiasco could absorb media and opposition attention, while Obama skates by with a covert promise to pardon Holder if he should be convicted… just thinkin’
Here’s another way to look at this. When Obama was campaigning he TOLD voters if elected he would fundamentally change America. Enough of them liked what he had to say that he was elected and they got their wish. He did what he said he would do so there should be no big surprise. They got the government they wanted and deserve but they are dragging the rest of us down with them.
Never was a Repub because most of them (the elected ones anyway) have no idea about how to deal with an unreasonable opponent. I used to be a anarchist, communist, then descended into being a libertine ( I know that ain’t a political stance but it is a philosophy) then I tended toward Libertarianism. Now I am nothing but an anti-Democrat. These people are the scourge of all freedom loving people in the U.S. and anything other than scorched earth with these people only encourages them. It is time the Repubs learned to live like the rest of us live, on our wits.
Unless congress does something to have the DOJ investigated by an independent investigator, the Obama administration will cover up all transgressions in that department. We have a department that doesn’t seem to be controlled. If Congress does nothing, they ALL need to be booted out of office. It shows that our government is a loose canon.
What is this article saying, It’s more like “Criminal Rot” is all through the entire government!
Hey Sherlocks,
What are we gonna’ do about our country?
Very great post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I have truly loved surfing around your weblog posts. After all I will be subscribing in your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!
