Ex-DOJ official: Federal charges coming in Ferguson: Eric Holder sees everything 'through prism of race, even when race isn't a factor'

 

Federal charges will be filed in the shooting death of Michael Brown, regardless of what local prosecutors do, according to a former Justice Department official who warns politicizing of the justice system is at an all-time high.

Hans von Spakovsky, who served in the civil rights division of the Justice Department during the George W. Bush administration, is now a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and co-author of the new book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”

He says the Obama administration’s track record on deciding which cases to prosecute and Friday’s Texas indictment of Gov. Rick Perry are just the latest evidence that ideology is driving the justice system at multiple levels of government.

“Eric Holder has completely politicized the Justice Department,” said von Spakovsky. “As we can see, unfortunately, this is happening in other places like the Travis County (Texas) D.A.’s office. That should concern every American. I don’t care what their political background is because that is a threat to everyone’s liberty and everyone’s freedom when that kind of power is used for political purposes.”

  1. I am surprised we have survived this political warfare for the last six years already. Two more to go.

  2. Here in short form is how Holder views everything:
    If you are of any race or ethnic group except for black then
    Every thing you do is racist
    Every thing you do not do is racist
    Every thing you say is racist
    Every thing you do not say is racist
    Every thing you think about is racist
    Every thing you do not think about is racist
    Just being alive proves you are a racist
    Everyone you know, have known, or will ever know is a racist.
    All dead people are racist
