from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Is DOJ being politicized by AG Holder and Pres Obama?

UPDATE: When are we going to hear about Holder launching an investigation in Rep Rangel? Charlie Rangel, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, the group that writes the tax law, admitted that his financial disclosure forms omitted about half his net worth. Most of that missed net worth comes in the form of one Town House worth about one million dollars. Among other scandals Rangel has faced this year, was his ownership of FOUR rent controlled apartments... http://www.nypost.com/php/pfriendly/print.php?url=http://www.nypost.com/seven/08282009/news/regionalnews/oops__charlie_forgot_this_1m_house_186849.htm

That is a question Americans should be starting to ask. Is this DOJ out of control after only seven (7) months in office? Is their agenda to protect Obama supporters/donors and go after the people they perceive as their enemies aka Republicans?

The latest action by the DOJ higher ups to "kill" the criminal investigation against Gov Richardson and his staff without the knowledge of the US Attorney in NM, gives credence to the Obama DOJ heading toward being one of the most politicized ever. Considering that we had the Clintons for eight years that is saying a lot. However, that should not come as a shock as Holder came out of the Clinton Administration so he learned all about corruptness and how to protect your friends and attack your enemies from the Masters of Deception.

Yesterday, Holder hired a special prosecutor to investigate the CIA interrogators to determine if their interrogations were criminal? These terrorist wanted to kill all of us so I see nothing wrong with any interrogation that will lead to the discovery of their plans to harm us. This Administration and the political DOJ now want to satisfy their far left base by going the CIA agents who have been the leaders in protecting Americans from terrorist attacks. This comes after Obama said this Administration would look forward not back but what difference is a promise when it comes to Obama. Guess that was just something for him to say to get elected. If anyone thinks that Obama is not behind this, I have swampland for sale in Arizona.

Earlier in the month charges of voter intimidation against the New Black Panther members in Philadelphia were dropped against the advise of senior DOJ personnel. Can we expect the New Black Panthers intimidating votes in more areas after this since the DOJ under Holder gave them a walk and blank check to do what they want?

Then we have the DOJ and Holder threatening Oklahoma with withholding funds on their English Only ballot issue. We would have bet in November after the results of the election were announced that the Great State of Oklahoma where every County voted for McCain and only gave Obama 34% would be a prime target by this Administration even though the Democrat Governor is a huge Obama supporter. Sure enough DOJ comes after Oklahoma on the ballot issue for "English Only." Learned yesterday they have backed off for now, but for how long? Bet they don't like the OK ballot issue to require picture ID to vote either.

We are sure there are many more instances we could find to the support asking the question about politicizing the DOJ, but these four over the last month jump out what is happening. Guess we can assume that AG Holder is going to be investigating Cong Rangel (D-NY) next after all the new information that has come out? Since he has a "D" after his name, we expect crickets will continue to chirp as nothing is done.

With the number of Obama appointees with tax and ethics problems, we should not be surprised at anything out of the DOJ. If Republicans had the amount of problems as the Democrat appointees, none of them would ever be confirmed. We are learning rapidly when the Democrats are accusing the Republicans of doing something, it is exactly what the Democrats are doing.

Obama said he would have the most transparent Administration, but it is becoming perfectly clear that is not the case like so many of his campaign promises that have been thrown under the bus. Wonder how many people are on the enemies list of this White House?

We have excerpted the information from the four cases we highlighted to show the politicization of the DOJ in the Obama Administration. We are convinced that AG Holder or his people at DOJ will not take a step without Obama and Soros approval. Read and judge for yourself if this DOJ is being politicized in favor of the liberal Democrats.

SANTA FE, N.M. -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former high-ranking members of his administration won't be criminally charged in a yearlong federal investigation into pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor's large political donors, someone familiar with the case said.

The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe.
"It's over. There's nothing. It was killed in Washington," the person told The Associated Press.

EXCLUSIVE: No. 3 at Justice OK'd Panther reversal

Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, the No. 3 official in the Obama Justice Department, was consulted and ultimately approved a decision in May to reverse course and drop a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party of intimidating voters in Philadelphia during November's election, according to interviews.

The department's career lawyers in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division who pursued the complaint for five months had recommended that Justice seek sanctions against the party and three of its members after the government had already won a default judgment in federal court against the men.
Front-line lawyers were in the final stages of completing that work when they were unexpectedly told by their superiors in late April to seek a delay after a meeting between political appointees and career supervisors, according to federal records and interviews.
