Attorney General Eric Holder testifies in front of a House Appropriations Subcommittee Tuesday. Chairing that Subcommittee will be Representative Frank Wolf (R-Virginia) to hear Holder ask for huge spending increases for the Civil Rights Division. The Justice Department has been stonewalling Congressman Wolf for over a year about the corrupt New Black Panther voter intimidation dismissal. Holder’s seat would be hot.
But Hans von Spakovsky in Tuesday’s Washington Examiner just made Holder’s seat even hotter. He has this bombshell open letter to Congressman Wolf called “They’re playing games, literally, in the Justice Department” in the Tuesday Washington Examiner.
It contains details about Holder’s management of the Justice Department that hard working (or out of work) Americans aren’t going to like:
* “This is also the same Justice Department division where, during a Voting Section staff meeting called to address chronic tardiness, numerous attorneys demanded permission to arrive at work up to 30 minutes late without penalty. Others wanted to work from home.”
* “reports from lawyers inside DOJ, [] tell of Voting Section attorneys so bored that many spend the day playing computer Solitaire, watching videos, and venting at the lack of activity.”
You can tune in at 9 a.m. EST Tuesday to see what an Attorney General looks like when he tries to defend huge budget increases for a government component that hasn’t done much for over two years, except perhaps sharpen Solitaire skills.
WE have a Justice Department? Not one that represents all of America we don’t.
Sounds like a federal agency that wants to be cut.

Well, I guess I have nothing to say then…
A government shutdown is looking better and better all the time.
It seems the “Dept of Justice” has become one of those joke descriptions like “Government worker”.
It has well surpassed the point that the less democrats “work” the country as a whole becomes better off by comparison.
So his employees are late to work, or playing video games and not working at all. And the ones that are working, are ignoring deserving cases, like the black panthers, and doing stuff most americans dont want anyway. And this guy wants MORE money. Fat chance.
A government employee using a government computer for anything, anything at all, other than work for the government is a well-publicized reason for immediate termination without much chance of the employee winning a fight about the firing. It has been used to dispose of employees who otherwise would be difficult to remove from their jobs. So think about why exactly this charge might be leveled at certain employees who otherwise could not be disciplined or fired without a big problem to the one doing the firing.

Thanks, man. Love the casual, reflexive insult to postal workers, secretaries, the entire military, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, firefighters, police, FBI agents, EMTs, paramedics…..
I literally just moved out of my home because the video game addict, Dept. of Justice employee living above me spent hours gaming. He would get angry when I came home, playing the games loud, aggressively stomping and running through his home. The harrassment never stopped, even when city police were called on three occasions. I later found out that his actions were also fueled by alcohol. With this kind of behavior from an award-winning employee who was off the clock, I can’t imagine what is happening in terms of extreme gaming in the office. While this couldn’t be the story in all government offices, this guy (and those like him) are an embarrassment to our system. Something stinks at the DOJ!
