DOJ lacks transparency (OneNewsNow.com)

DOJ lacks transparency (OneNewsNow.com): "A federal court has fined the Obama Justice Department for its lack of transparency.



The housing section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division (CRD) had filed a discrimination lawsuit in Kansas, but a federal district court has imposed attorneys' fees on the individual DOJ lawyers in the case, including Steven Rosenbaum and Loretta King, because they refused to provide answers during discovery in the lawsuit. Rosenbaum heads the CRD's housing section and King was once acting assistant attorney general.

Hans von Spakovsky'It's very similar to what's going on in the New Black Panther case where the Justice Department is refusing to comply with subpoenas from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which is trying to get an explanation of why in the world they dismissed that voter-intimidation case,' explains Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation.

He adds that the DOJ is not the only part of the Obama administration lacking transparency."
