The DOJ and the Zimmerman case

The Justice Department’s involvement in the Zimmerman case is highly suspect.

According to this story, the DOJ helped bring about the context of public outrage in which, as we knew at the time, it forced Florida and local authorities into this trial.

And if Holder was part of that who doubts Obama was?

In a few, relatively small ways, the president’s hostility toward and mistrust of whites has shown, during his presidency, from time to time.

The only big way they have shown was in his long and very personal association with Jeremiah Wright, close buddy of Louis Farrakhan, before he threw the man under the bus during his 2008 campaign.

His interventions and those of Holder, public and cloaked, in the Zimmerman/Martin affair are among those smaller ways.

It is possible he has been much more a leftist, and much more a race man, than we have realized, all along.

He is, after all, very smart.

And he may simply have decided, long ago, to do as much as he could expect, realistically, to do as a politician.

And he may have decided that meant looking a lot more moderate, and a lot less a race man, than he is in his heart of hearts.

Blacks in America have worn masks among whites for centuries, after all.

Of course, we ought not to be deceived by appearances.

It is possible, after all, to  railroad a guilty man.

Zimmerman,  I mean.
