DOJ to investigate Zimmerman for Federal Civil Rights charges
2013-07-15
h/t Donald Sensing
On Sunday afternoon, the Obama Department of Justice announced that it would pursue investigation into George Zimmerman. That announcement came just hours after Zimmerman was acquitted for second-degree murder and manslaughter in the killing of Trayvon Martin, and within one day of the NAACP calling on the DOJ for an investigation.

#19  DOJ will either quietly announce that they are declining to press charges when everybody is paying attention to another outrage or loudly announce that they are declining to press charges to distract the country from another outrage.

#16  If they made a movie about the successful impeachment of Eric "Place" Holder, I'd buy a ticket.

#12  a series of burglaries in the neighborhood all committed by long-legged busty young blonde girls

You've got the makings for one fine-ass made-for-TV movie there, EC. (yeah, pun intended)

#11  Let's assume there had been a series of burglaries in the neighborhood all committed by long-legged busty young blonde girls and Neighborhood Watch were on the lookout for long-legged busty young blonde girls (repeated for improved ranking), would that be sexist?

#10  I believe the results of the trial are what the Dems hoped for but the timing is off as most people will have moved on by the 2014 election so this extra bit of investigation is designed to adjust that timing for effect.

#9  Trailing Wife,
I believe the finding by the FBI does not prevent them from changing their mind (especially if there is "new guidance" from above or new evidence).

Zimmerman already lost his job and will have to wear a bulletproof vest for the rest of his life. I expect that anyone who hires him will be "leaned on" a la Koch Industries or Gibson Guitars.

It's not personal, it's strictly business.

#8  What could the charge be, when the FBI cleared Mr. Zimmerman of racism? link

#7  Indeed. I'm still waiting on my Jovan Belcher toxicology report; I was initially told he had a 0.15% Blood Howdy Doody Level.

#6  None of this is happenstance or coincidence. It is systematically fueled and stoked. All in all a very effective public relations and psychological Warfare (PSYWAR) campaign carried off by the regime. Divide and conquer; one of the oldest of political and military strategies.

Whilst the Zimmerman seething and rage continue and enjoys a host of media coverage, issues like Benghazi [you do remember Benghazi?], Fast & Furious, The Affordable Health Care Act, the economy, national debt, Egypt, Syria, Israel and a host of other regime cockups escape scrutiny.

#5  And there will be a spate of legislation intended to tighten up on future George Zimmermans that will end up being used to send more young black males to jail.

#4  It's all about keeping the Blacks on the Dem plantation while Obama enacts policies that make it even harder for black people to find jobs.

#3  both the special prosecutor in the Murder case and the FbI are on record as saying that the killing was not done because of race.

#2  Holder and his race baiting pals have been in the middle of this from the very beginning. 12 April 2012 Rooters article.

"We have a very ... high bar that we have to meet in order to bring federal charges in this case so we are continuing in that regard," Holder said at a news conference.

The Justice Department would have to determine a crime was intentional and also motivated by race to bring such charges.
