Outrageous: Obama Administration Funneled Billions of Dollars to Activist Organizations thru DOJ Slush Fund Scheme
The Obama administration funneled billions of dollars to activist organizations through a Department of Justice slush fund scheme, according to congressional investigators.
Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, told Fox News, “It’s clear partisan politics played a role in the illicit actions that were made. The DOJ is the last place this should have occurred.”
Findings spearheaded by the House Judiciary Committee point to a process shrouded in secrecy whereby monies were distributed to a labyrinth of nonprofit organizations involved with grass-roots activism.
Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton also explained, “Advocates for big government and progressive power are using the Justice Department to extort money from corporations. It’s a shakedown. It’s corrupt, pure and simple.”
Also, according to Fox News:
“There is a recent effort by Republicans to eliminate the practice, which many believe was widely abused during the Obama administration.
When big banks are sued by the government for discrimination or mortgage abuse, they can settle the cases by donating to third-party non-victims. The settlements do not specify how these third-party groups could use the windfall.
So far, investigators have accounted for $3 billion paid to “non-victim entities.”
Critics say banks are incentivized to donate the funds to non-profits rather than giving it to consumers.”
Mike Huckabee also told Fox News:
“The DOJ report on ‘slush fund’ is outrageous.”
