OK. I’m running out of adjectives to describe the endless stream of outrageously autocratic antics foisted upon us by this audaciously tyrannical administration. The latest revelation is enough to make you think we’ve turned into Cuba: Newly Released Documents Detail the Department of Justice’s Role in Organizing Trayvon Martin Protests ~
Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents proving that the Department of Justice played a major behind-the-scenes role in organizing protests against George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
Poor George Zimmerman must feel like he’s fallen into a Franz Kafka novel! The full weight of the federal government deployed to prosecute and prejudice the case against you?! So much for “justice is blind” and “innocent until proven guilty.”
What Judical Watch found was that a little known unit of DOJ, oddly-named “Community Relations Service” (CRS), had actually been sent down to Florida to specifically organize and manage rallies against Zimmerman. Are you kidding me??!!
According the documents Judicial Watch obtained from DOJ under FOIA (Freedom of Information Act), CRS incurred the following expenses:
• March 25 – 27, 2012: CRS spent $674.14 upon being “deployed to Sanford, FL, to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.”
• March 25 – 28, 2012: CRS spent $1,142.84 “in Sanford, FL to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.
• March 30 – April 1, 2012: CRS spent $892.55 in Sanford, FL “to provide support for protest deployment in Florida.”
• March 30 – April 1, 2012: CRS spent an additional $751.60 in Sanford, FL “to provide technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31.”
• April 3 – 12, 2012: CRS spent $1,307.40 in Sanford, FL “to provide technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford.”
• April 11 – 12, 2012: CRS spent $552.35 in Sanford, FL “to provide technical assistance for the preparation of possible marches and rallies related to the fatal shooting of a 17 year old African American male.”
Now recall, all the while these activities were taking place, the president and his lawless attorney general were carrying out their own roles in the whole agit-prop scenario back in D.C.. As the Daily Beast reported last April 2nd; Obama, Holder, and the treacherous politics of race ~
Eric Holder Jr. left the comfortable confines of the Justice Department for the Old Executive Office Building, where 150 black ministers awaited him. Outside, across the country, outraged African-Americans were massing to protest the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, demanding justice for the unarmed teen killed by a neighborhood-watch captain. […]
“I knew [Trayvon] would be on the ministers’ minds,” Holder told Newsweek. 😉
How prescient of him.
Then there was Obama: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
And who can forget the Hoodie Brigade?
We pretty much guessed that the administration was manipulating this tragedy for their own nefarious purposes. But just how egregiously deceitful they were, using government resources to flagrantly subvert justice, is absolutely stunning.
I guess I can still come up with the adjectives – but somehow they’re losing their potency from overuse…
