Shocking new documents detail DOJ’s reasons for releasing Marxist bomber

Newly released documents show that the Department of Justice (DOJ) allowed for the release of Marxist radical and domestic terrorist Marilyn Buck from federal prison because officials believed she learned her lesson and had “expressed a dramatic change from her previous political philosophy.”

These new documents, obtained by investigative journalist Cliff Kincaid’s America’s Survival organization, shed more light on why Holder’s officials decided to release Buck, a convicted radical left-wing domestic terrorist.

“Incredibly, Buck’s attorney, Soffiyah Elijah, cited Buck’s ‘Master of Fine Arts in Poetics,’ completed behind bars, as evidence that she deserved parole. It’s a fraud and a racket,” Kincaid said at an America’s Survival event on Tuesday, adding that the poems Buck wrote “are not just terrible poetry but evidence of the same kind of murderous communist political ideology she was incarcerated for.”

Buck’s first application for parole in 2003 was denied, and she was not supposed to even be reconsidered for parole until September 2018. As these new documents show, President Bush’s Justice Department caved during Buck’s appeal of the 2003 decision. Between 2004 and 2006, Bush administration DOJ officials agreed to grant Buck “presumptive parole” on Feb. 8, 2011.

Advocates for Buck’s release weren’t satisfied with the Bush administration’s recommendation. They wanted a guarantee Buck would get out and they wanted her out sooner than 2011. So, Buck’s attorney, Soffiyah Jill Elijah of Harvard Law School’s Criminal Justice Institute, and a cadre of left-wing activists and academics lobbied the U.S. Parole Commission, arguing Buck was worthy...

Buck was a hardcored communist terrorist and if she changed, it was because prison broke her, not that she had a change of heart.

Has Bill Ayers and his smarter half, the communist terrorist Bernadine Dohrn changed? Hell no. They’re still as hardcore marxist psychopaths as they were during the past 4 years.

Old reds never die, they just smell that way.

Ann Coulter talks at length about this in her new book “Demonic”. A VERY good read.

Those that hate a nation will fail at governing that nation.
