2 Standards of Justice: DOJ Doesn’t Punish Crime Among Its Ranks

Allows its own officials to get away with all sorts of appalling crimes and transgressions

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is responsible for enforcing the law, providing federal leadership in preventing crime and punishing those guilty of illegal behavior yet it allows its own officials to get away with all sorts of appalling crimes and transgressions.

As if this weren’t bad enough, the DOJ also protects its perpetrators, covering up their name and allowing them to keep their lucrative government jobs. Even the agency watchdog, which is charged with rooting out corruption, conceals crucial information about unscrupulous DOJ officials, including those in high-ranking positions. Now a national newspaper chain offers insight into this astounding cover-up scheme with documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a federal law often used by Judicial Watch to expose government corruption.

The records don’t include names, but they do reveal a “startling array” of transgressions and misconduct in which DOJ officials nevertheless escaped prosecution or firing. It’s like the fox guarding the henhouse because the DOJ is responsible for prosecuting corruption in the public sector. This includes government agencies and elected officials at most levels. The records show that dozens of DOJ officials, ranging from FBI special agents and prison wardens to high-level federal prosecutors, have faced no consequences for criminal behavior or serious misconduct.

The DOJ and it's head, the U.S. Attorney General, are in my mind, the sole reason that cops are getting away with the unconstitutional acts and murder, literally, that they are today.
If we had a strong non-traitorous American patriot as AG, instead of the racist traitorous POS that we have now, we wouldn't be having the heinous feeble excuses for murdering unarmed innocent citizens and continual breach of Constitutional rights that LE commit every day here in America.
A strong AG that truly had America's best interests at heart would have issued a 'stand down' or be prosecuted edict long ago. I just hope that America can last another two years until we can, MAYBE, get a strong AG in place.

Barbara duncan allows her command staff to assault officers and punishes anyone who tells the truth about the incident. She even went so far as to say she witnessed the incident when in fact she had not. Corruption begets corruption
