Justice Department condemns Ferguson leaks as effort to influence opinion
Los Angeles Times ^ | October 23, 2014 | By MATT PEARCE

With a grand jury decision looming on whether a white police officer should face charges in the killing of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., the investigation has sprung a few leaks.

New details from the inquiry into Michael Brown’s Aug. 9 death — all provided by unidentified sources and which seem to support Officer Darren Wilson’s story of what happened that day — have emerged in St. Louis and national news outlets in recent days.

The U.S. Department of Justice condemned the leaks Wednesday as “irresponsible and highly troubling” and said, “There seems to be an inappropriate effort to influence public opinion about this case.”

“There seems to be an inappropriate effort to influence public opinion about this case.”

Which is exactly why Holder and his goons went to Ferguson in the first place.

And “If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon” was what? The Just-Us Dept repeated interference in matters of local enforcement is what?

Exactly where does a RACIST HOLDER DOJ have ANY reason to insert itself into ANY deliberation, disposition or disposal of any questions, comments or charges with respect to lawfully empowered local purview actions prior to their becoming actual fact?

Hey Holder! Why don’t you jump the gun, peckerwood!

Public opinion about anything is best when it’s based on the facts, wouldn’t you agree mr. Holder?

John Semmens has way too much competition for satire these days, that headline alone is simply hilariously over-the-top.

Holder and his goons leak all the time. Ferguson and Missouri politicians are beating them at their own game. Nice to see the Justice Dept whining about unfair play

And the Just Us department trying to influence opinion and incite more riots was okay?
Sheesh, tar and feathers time.

...condemned the leaks because they are undermining the JD’s attempt to railroad the cop and pulling the rug out from under the insurrectionists. In short the leaks contradict the official narrative.

Yes, this is an old, Lefty tactic that was used back in the Clinton years, as well. No surprise that Holder was a part of that worthless bunch, too.
