It’s Come To This – Dept. of Justice asking for Tips to Help Prosecute George Zimmerman – DOJ/CRS Sets Up Email National Hotline

July 16, 2013 by sundance

This is just unbelievable. This administration WANTS full blown race warfare. There is no other reason for setting up a national hotline for people to email in tips to aid in the prosecution of George Zimmerman. Keep in mind the name on this Orlando Sentinel report. Dept of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Department of Community Relations, TOM PEREZ. The same Tom Perez President Obama nominated for Labor Secretary. (more after article)


ORLANDO – The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday afternoon appealed to civil rights groups and community leaders, nationally and in Sanford, for help investigating whether a federal criminal case might be brought against George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, one advocate said.



The DOJ has also set up a public email address to take in tips on its civil rights investigation.

Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law – who earlier in the day joined calls for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, said that later in the afternoon, she joined a U.S. Department of Justice conference call to discuss the prospects.

“They were calling on us to actively refer anyone who had any information,” that might build a case against Zimmerman for either a civil rights violation or a hate crime, Arnwine said. “They said they would very aggressively investigate this case.”

Arnwine said the call was convened at about 3:30 p.m. by Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, and included representatives from the FBI, and several federal prosecutors, she said. DOJ officials also said they would open a public email address so people could send in tips on the case.

That email address, which is now in operation, is Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov.

In addition to Arnwine’s group, Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Laura Murphy, Washington Chapter head of the ACLU; and several national, Florida and Sanford-based “human relations” groups participated, Arnwine said.

During the call, DOJ officials announced they had set up a way for people to send email tips that could help aid in their investigation. The email address will be operational later this week.

Also Monday, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said a speech at the social action luncheon of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, that he shares concerns about “the tragic, unnecessary shooting death” of Trayvon Martin last year, and he vowed to pursue a federal investigation into the matter, the Washington Post reported.

Holder pledged that the Justice Department would work to “alleviate tensions, address community concerns and promote healing” in response to the case. (ARTICLE LINK)

This is unbelievable.

The Sanford Police Department investigated George Zimmerman and had no evidence to charge him. So the political forces, City Manager Norton Bonaparte et al, demanded Detective Serino send the case to the local State Attorney, Norm Wolfinger. They made Serino re-write the filing 12 times. Chris Serino was threatened – he told the feds.

Then State Attorney Norm Wolfinger says there does not look like cause for an arrest or charges, but to appease the political forces he impanels a Grand Jury to hear the case construct on April 11th, 2012.

Not content with that, State and Federal officials pressure Florida Governor Rick Scott to intervene ahead of the Grand Jury, remove the case from Wolfinger, and send it to Special Prosecutor Angela Corey.

Angela Corey, not having foundation to win a Grand Jury indictment, cancels it, and files charges on her own authority. Charges everyone said from the outset were impossible to prove. But they charged him and took him to court.

A year and a half later, and after millions of dollars, and tens of thousands of labor hours of investigation -including the FBI- a jury trial commences and a jury acquits George Zimmerman, not guilty.

The FBI even said there was nothing in their investigation, which included talking to over 200+ people who knew George, and 60 people in his immediate neighborhood, that even remotely showed ill will or racist intentions.

But that’s not good enough. Now the Federal DOJ through the Civil Rights Division - The Community Relations Service, and Eric Holder/Tom Perez, want to pursue Federal charges, but the evidence from the FBI does not support it.

So what do they do? They ask the general public for tips against George Zimmerman so they can find some way to charge and/or convict him of something, anything ? Setting up anonymous email tip lines? Seriously? WHAT THE HELL?

I’m not surprised, because I believed obama when he said that he intended to fundamentally transform the United States of America and because I believed Eric Holder when he said that he would stand with his people in his role as AG of the US. No surprises here. Just confirmation.

This about sums it up. H/t to AF Branco for his excellent cartoon commentary at the Legal Insurrection blog.

If it weren’t so tragic, it might almost be funny to be one of the people that has to filter through the millions of false claims to try to find the potential needle in the haystack.
Hope many of these get leaked…

this just turn into the greatest witch hunt in us history. It is time for Zimmerman to file the federal law suit against doj. This is the worst case of prosecutorial abuse.

AND, this IS a civil rights case! Until there was any “hate law” the Civil Rights Laws were written to prevent any government entity from attacking someone who was a different ethnicity.(Think: Sheriff w/dogs Selma, etc.)

Is that the real reason The Lyin’ King rushed to get hate crimes law passed early on?

At this point I’m not even sure what to say and for me that says ALOT. This is truly absurd and nothing short of a POLITICAL LYNCH MOB. I say we start a new organization to combat actions such as these we can call it the NACAC National Association Creepy Azz Crackas! For the first time in my life at 48 years of age I am ashamed to be American and did not think anything like this could happen here on our own SOIL! *sighs*

Sounds like they’ve planted a seed for a black liberal treehouse.

They won’t find anything that they can prove, because there is nothing. However, what needs to happen is that the people that were touched positively by the life and deeds of George Zimmerman need to speak out. We can only hope.

We have a government run by a black thug culture, which is really sad for everyone in this country.
