Has This Been a Fair Trial … ‘Justice for Trayvon’: Audio Released of DOJ Member Urging Action against George Zimmerman

JUSTICE?

From the Washington Times reports of the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in the pressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman. Since when dies the DOJ get involved with something like this? I guess when if President Barack Obama had s son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.

The legal watchdog Judicial Watch released an audio recording Thursday of a Department of Justice staffer urging Sanford, Fla., city officials and the minority advocacy group Dream Defenders to seek justice for Trayvon Martin, because “if a community perceives that there’s something wrong in the black community, there’s something wrong.”

“CRS is an arm of the department that we call the Peacemakers,” Thomas Battles, regional director of the DOJ’s Community Relations Service, said at a meeting at the Shiloh Church on April 19, 2012. “We work with communities where there is real or perceived racial tensions.”

The findings, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, “detail the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in the pressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman. My guess is that most Americans would rightly object to taxpayers paying government employees to help organize racially-charged demonstrations.”
