department of justice and the f.b.i. it looks like some of those police departments that ended up agreeing to consent judgments might be better off suing the u.s. department of justice exposing how prejudice and bias they were during the period in which the department of justice came after them and was trying to supervise them and show how bias they were and show the local police department getting to tail the department of justice if they are acting appropriate and when they are not. it is just incredible how such a great justice organization, not just compromised, but devastated ke a cancerous prejudice and bias. incapable of rendering fair, blind decisions without regard for any bias in favor of or against a litigant. what a change. what a difference. president obama is right, he did fundamentally transform america. i really would never have thought we would see the justice department after those eight years end up like it is. didn't come out in the hearing, but i was given the understanding that after the ock subsided somewhat of donald trump winning november, 2016, that there was a massive effort, just at a rap i had pace to try to move p
