GOP wants to eliminate shadowy DOJ slush fund bankrolling leftist groups

[Spike]

DRAIN THE SWAMP!


The Obama administration funneled billions of dollars to activist organizations through a Department of Justice slush fund scheme, according to congressional investigators.

“It’s clear partisan politics played a role in the illicit actions that were made,” Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, told Fox News. “The DOJ is the last place this should have occurred.”

Findings spearheaded by the House Judiciary Committee point to a process shrouded in secrecy whereby monies were distributed to a labyrinth of nonprofit organizations involved with grass-roots activism.

“Advocates for big government and progressive power are using the Justice Department to extort money from corporations,” Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton told Fox News. “It’s a shakedown. It’s corrupt, pure and simple.”

There is a recent effort by Republicans to eliminate the practice, which many believe was widely abused during the Obama administration.

Absolutely sickening...this is what happens when you more and more power into the hands of the federal government. They can do whatever the hell they want.

LOCK THEM UP!

Or just run them out on a rail....

I'm also glad that these illegals that hold press conferences, flaunting their abuses of the justice system, finally are being held accountable.

Daniela Vargas, 22, was detained by ICE agents Wednesday morning, shortly after speaking at a news conference in downtown Jackson, according to her attorney, Abby Peterson.

Moments after an immigrant spoke out about her fears of deportation, she was detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

After her father and brother were detained, Vargas previously told The Clarion-Ledger she planned to go into hiding. She came out of hiding to speak at the conference.

The news conference was hosted by local immigration attorneys, churches and the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance to bring attention to families impacted by deportation.

oops..

and why conservatives actually warn against big government. When you have so many agencies, it is almost impossible to keep track of where everything is going. you can chase one rat down the hole, but thousands of others crop up. Libs will cheer about how this money was spent. If Trump has some, similar fund, somewhere, it won't be such a good idea anymore.
