Our Massively Politicized Justice Department

"Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said on Sunday that reports of him attending President Obama's weekly "Terror Tuesday" meetings are blatantly false. The New York Times recently reported that Obama and his national security team hold weekly meetings, with Axelrod in attendance, to pore over terrorists' biographies and discuss which of them are on the president's "kill list." Axelrod's alleged presence at the meetings raised some concerns that the administration was dangerously blurring campaign politics with national security. But Axelrod emphatically denied the accusation on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday morning...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down, and explains how the Justice Department is politicized.

Finally TYT mentions FAst & Furious. Took them fucking long enough..

Obama won't prosecute the Bankers or the Bush Administration because they're legally protected like organized crime. Something huge must be at stake that enforces him to ignore these High Profile Criminals. John Edwards isn't a member of that globally protected organization, and though they're using his case as a Political move, he's become irrelevant. You must have a good lawyer yourself Cenk, because I don't, and if I started making videos about the same shit you talk about, I'd be in trouble.

He watches the old flicks of JFK getting his head blown off ! It was those jew banskters behind the grassy knoll. Thye had every one paid off just like the 9/11 thermite charges on building 7 that didnt get hit from a beer bottle much less a plane .

Obamas statement that he only wanted to look forward. Strange thing to say since you can't prosecute a crime until after it happens.What about Bradley Manning? why did'nt you look forward there?

[Daniil Ishutin]

That's because they're not a news show, fuckass. They're a talk show.

holder got criticism on fast and furious because he should be charged with manslaughter for the death of that boarder patrol agent. and i dare any of you to say different

[LeaveItToBeaner]

thats because its a real embarrassing subject for libs

[drinfested]

I can't stress that enough. I lost all my respect for TYT as at least a somewhat impartial news source when they failed to mention except 6 MONTHS AGO a program/scandal that is as large as watergate. F&F is a big deal, and yet they don't mention it all. Instead, I see bullshit like the "100 LB scrotum!" and other nonsense. I'm sorry TYT, but you seem to have become more anti-fox and anti-republican than pro-truth, and I just can't take it. I'm going to go back to my newspaper for news.

The good news is, that Holder's days in the Obama Administration are limited. The best news is, that Obama's days as President, are down to just a few months.
