Even as Holder testifies before Congress again on Fast & Furious — which he has already lied about under oath — his favorite guy, our own Matthew Boyle, has dug up yet another DOJ scandal:
A U.S. Justice Department source has told The Daily Caller that at least two DOJ prosecutors accepted cash bribes from allegedly corrupt finance executives who were indicted under court seal within the past 13 months, but never arrested or prosecuted.
The sitting governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, his attorney general and an unspecified number of Virgin Islands legislators also accepted bribes, the source said, adding that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise compromised, but has not held anyone accountable.
The bribed officials, an attorney with knowledge of the investigation told TheDC, remain on the taxpayers’ payroll at the Justice Department without any accountability. The DOJ source said Holder does not want to admit public officials accepted bribes while under his leadership.
Covering up incompetence and corruption in his own department? Does that sound like the Eric Holder we’ve come to know and love?
You should read the whole thing. This is probably my favorite part:
When provided with an outline of this report, Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler refused to comment.
Good luck getting your story straight, guys.
