D.O.J. Looking for a Few Good “Trolls”

Is Holder’s Justice Dept. Doing Something… *ssshhhh* Illegal?

In case you missed it on Rush Limbaugh or Red County today: Our Attorney General, Reichsführer-SS Eric Holder, may well be breaking new ground in Justice Department unscrupulousness by hiring—viz., “paying with taxpayer dollars”—wackjob liberal bloggers to seek out and troll-poop on anti-Obama Administration media reports and blog posts.
As reported at The Muffled Oar, a blog that first broke the story of Holder’s secretive blogging unit—dubbed the “Blog Squad” by blogger Isaac Muzzey—Holder has housed this unit in the Office of Public Affairs at the Department of Justice. It also appears that former John Edwards staffer Tracy Russo is part of this special unit.
From The Muffled Oar, who broke the story last Friday:
Not only is the Department of Justice Blog Squad going to reach out to nontraditional media like TPM Muckraker or the Muffled Oar, but they are also tasked with fostering anonymous comments at conservative leaning blogs such as the Free Republic. They are also tasked with fostering anonymous comments, or comments under pseudonyms, at newspaper websites with stories critical of the Department of Justice, Holder and President Obama.
Does this sound legal to you, dear reader? I suppose it could be considered so, if, like Führer Obama, you simply consider taxpayer dollars as your own, to do with as you please - even hand out to screaming rioters. For more on the legal issues raised, see NRO’s the corner blog.
Clearly it’s time for an investigation. Of course, who could possibly do that? The Justice Department, with it’s unimpeachably incorruptible AG, could investigate itself. Or the Democrat Congress—the most transparent, hard-working, and ethical Congress in decades—could appoint a Special Prosecutor.
Either of these sound about as likely as Obama singing The Star-Spangled Banner from memory whilst pulling a rabbit out of Happy Joe Biden’s arse. Until then, dear reader, the writers at Moonbattery.com will continue to taunt the Blog Squad to no end.
