Justice Department Launches Investigation into Federal Crimes in Connection with the Murder of Dr. George Tiller

The Department's Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas have launched a federal investigation into federal crimes in connection with the murder of Dr. George Tiller. The federal probe will consist of a thorough review of the evidence and an assessment of any potential violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) or other federal statutes. The federal investigation will be conducted in close coordination with the Office of the Sedgwick County, Kan., District Attorney, and the state's ongoing murder prosecution will have the full support of federal investigators.

The FACE Act was enacted by Congress in 1994 to establish federal criminal penalties and civil remedies for violent, obstructionist or damaging conduct affecting reproductive health care providers and recipients.

"The Department of Justice will work tirelessly to determine the full involvement of any and all actors in this horrible crime, and to ensure that anyone who played a role in the offense is prosecuted to the full extent of federal law," said Loretta King, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "We will conduct a thorough investigation that will complement and build upon the fine work of the Sedgwick County District Attorney and other state and local law enforcement agencies."

Following the May 31, 2009, murder, the Attorney General directed the U.S. Marshals Service to offer protection to appropriate people and facilities around the country. The U.S. Marshals Service has moved expeditiously to implement the Attorney General’s directive with the assistance of the reproductive health care service providers and organizations throughout the country.

In an effort to coordinate the federal government’s efforts in response to the shooting of Dr. Tiller, the Civil Rights Division recently convened a meeting of the National Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers, an interagency law enforcement working group that includes attorneys from the Civil Rights Division and the Criminal Division, and law enforcement officials from the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. This task force was established more than a decade ago to commit resources to the reduction of threats and violence against health care providers on a national level.

Statement of the Attorney General on Murder of Doctor George Tiller

Sunday, May 31, 2009

“The murder of Doctor George Tiller is an abhorrent act of violence, and his family is in our thoughts and prayers at this tragic moment. Federal law enforcement is coordinating with local law enforcement officials in Kansas on the investigation of this crime, and I have directed the United States Marshals Service to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation. The Department of Justice will work to bring the perpetrator of this crime to justice. As a precautionary measure, we will also take appropriate steps to help prevent any related acts of violence from occurring.”

How about protecting our military when they are on home soil and investigate the muslim terrorists who attack them! Everyday we learn more and more about where the current administrations priorities lie. Unfortunately it is not with Americans unless they are muslim.

Definitely a waste of time and resources. There is obviously no threat elsewhere. The FBI knows that.

Still, I would expect a dozen or so of those "faux fires" to hit a number of the financially desperate abortion clinics. That'll be the owners trying to cash in on the insurance.

Wonder what the FBI agents are going to do if they catch an owner doing that?

DOJ, how about looking into the “F”ing MUZZIE training camps that are scattered around OUR country? Home grown MUZZIES are KILLING our countrymen!

As long as I can still draw a breath I promise to do everything humanly possible to defeat the Muslim hoards!

WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A MUSLIM COUNTRY!

It's also worth noting that although Tiller was shot at church, the Attorney General is making no effort whatsoever to increase protections for churchgoers nationwide.

This despite the fact that more people have been shot down in churches over the last ten years than have been shot at abortion operations.

Obviously Eric Holder is too stupid to grasp these facts, or maybe he has that mindless prejudice that causes him to believe that abortionists don't go to church.

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

They must mean federal crimes in association with Tiller exoneration in connection with the charges filed against him for killing fully formed babies.

Oh...that's not what they mean? Well, they should.

Where is the Federal investigation into Private Long's murder?

Fact is, though the man who killed Tiller certainly murdered him according to our law...he murdered a genocidal, depraved murder who had the blood of 60,000 on his hands.

THE GRUESOME TRUTH OF THE ABORTION HOLOCAUST & THE DEATH OF DR. TILLER [Warning: A graphic photo of death & dismemberment]

“It is the grimmest of ironies that one of the most savage, barbaric acts of evil in history began in one of the most modernized societies of its time, where so many markers of human progress became tools of human depravity: science that can heal, used to kill; education that can enlighten, used to rationalize away basic moral impulses; the bureaucracy that sustains modern life, used as the machinery of mass death, a ruthless, chillingly efficient system where many were responsible for the killing, but few got actual blood on their hands.”–Barack Obama April 24, 2009, Holocaust Remebernce Day, Chicago Sun Times.

I read a story where one church is asking every one to bring a gun for a forth of July celebration for liberty. Churches should not be a gun free zone. More people have been shot and killed in the so called gun free zones here in the USA. An excellent book to read is more guns less crime.

This business of banning guns in churches arises out of the interests of so many Leftwingtards that church-going people be disarmed to allow commie criminals to just bust in and kill them.

Are they going to work as hard to find out all they need to know about the Black Muslim who killed an American soldier? Who gave him the money to go to Yemen to study terrorism , Who are his pals here? So on and so forth.

Probably they are not.

You bet, I’ve been reading a very good book Liberal Fascism. It is quite an eye opener.
