DOJ Steers Countrywide Settlement Cash to Leftist Groups With Dem Ties
Big Government ^ | 1/6/12 | Tom Fitton

Posted on 01/06/2012 9:39:54 AM PST by Nachum

The untold story of the Obama Administration’s widely reported, $335 million discrimination settlement with Countrywide Financial Corporation is that, under a secret Justice Department program, a chunk of the money won’t go to the “victims” but rather leftist groups not connected to the lawsuit. The Department of Justice (DOJ) will determine which “qualified organizations” get leftover settlement cash and Democrat-tied groups like the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the open-borders National Council of La Raza (NCLR) stand to get large sums based on the

Obama is literally using Court settlement funds here as campaign contributions. The most corrupt administration ever.

I really hope there is widespread congressional outrage over this. The whole practice of giving any gov’t money to partisan groups must be stopped.

I won’t hold my breath.

All dems see the government as a means of getting money for themselves and their campaigns,

0bama’s just more blatant and audacious about it.

"Obama is literally using Court settlement funds here as campaign contributions. The most corrupt administration ever."

Where is that point where somebody in the GOP finally says, "enough is enough" with this corruption?

Holder should have been removed two years ago.
The DOJ should have been turned upside down and the radicals removed along with an investigation into their radical agenda and ignorance to the constitution and the law.

Nothing short of all-out civil war will remedy this situation. As Shakespeare once said, “There is a tide in the affairs of men...” and this one’s running against us.

The point is never, because the GOP isn’t interested in stopping the corruption, they’re only interested in getting their turn at the trough. That’s why they have stymied conservative voters from having a choice of an authentic conservative candidate at every turn lately. A pox on both their houses. The ones who have any interest beyond the gravy train are the globalists. They’re the only “true believers” in politics. Which makes the rest-the ones who are merely on the take, politics as usual, the less dangerous ones. We are indeed living in interesting times.

No surprise-- this was Spitzer's MO as attorney general in NY and is now Cuomos--

a) the state sues a company for mega bucks;
b) the work is contracted out to big Dem law firms;
c) said law firms collect huge amounts of fees;
d) a good percentage is kicked back as campaign contributions when the time comes;

Using 'grants' to fund the Dem party is SOP in Chicago also, and has been going on nationally for years-- like Clinton's 'community policing' funds that went to local 'community groups' whose boards were identical to a list of Dem ward bosses.

The Dem party is nothing but a criminal conspiracy to rape the rest of society.

Again....Where is congress? The same old story again and again is that they are absent from the job. But no absent from a pay check or a pay increase.

Just another slush fund for him to buy votes with. Buying votes is his other big strategy for 2012. Congress should pass a measure directing them to give the money to victims or the treasury only.
