Taxpayer Funded Beer Bash, Ball Games and Scavenger Hunts at Holder DOJ
by J. Christian AdamsWith the real unemployment rate above 16 percent, it is a perfect time to throw a lavish party for high paid federal employees at Eric Holder’s Department of Justice. At least Eric Holder thinks so.
The Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department, the same unit that dismissed the slam dunk voter intimidation lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party and forced Dayton (OH) to hire firefighters who flunked employment tests, is throwing an alcohol-fueled bash during work hours for 815 employees.
I have obtained the invitation posted internally to all 815 Civil Rights Division employees. It reads:
“It’s Time to Get Together, So Save the Date – It’s time to open up and let the sun shine in!”
I’ll wager if a Freedom of Information Act request was sent to DOJ about the costs of the beer bash and lost employee time, there wouldn’t be much sunshine.
The invitation continues:
“The Civil Rights Division will host a get-together on Thursday, June 30th in the Main Justice Courtyard, from 3:00 p.m. Until 6:00 p.m. Beer, wine and snacks will be served. Come on out and enjoy the weather and say hello to your co-workers! Hope to see you there! (Rain/extreme heat date: Wednesday, July 13th, 2011 – Great Hall). Please contact Kathy Anderson in the Executive Office by email or on 202-514-5577 if you have any questions. “
Sounds like fun, courtesy of the United States taxpayers. Instead of working, hundreds of federal employees will be tapping kegs. Instead of earning their GS-15 ($123,758 – $155,500) salaries, they will be sipping Chardonnay while other Americans drive trucks, mow lawns or continue their long desperate search for employment.
The Main Justice Courtyard is in the center of the Robert F. Kennedy DOJ building and has fountains and landscaped terraces. It also has two large drive-thru open air gates on 9th and 10th street where members of the public could actually come and watch the party, and loudly petition the government about their grievance for holding such a tone-deaf party.
If that happens, you can bet the party will move to “extreme heat date” in the quiet confines of the Great Hall, inside the building.
Also invited to the party are numerous Senior Executive Service employees making $145,700 to $199,700. This Division has gone on a hiring spree since the inauguration and hired over 130 new high paid attorneys even though Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez informed employees they don’t have enough money from Congress to do it, even while DOJ holds employee scavenger hunts and pays for days at the ballpark watching Washington Nationals games.
After President Obama joked about the failed stimulus plan and the not-so shovel ready recipients of trillions of dollars, it seems an odd time for federal employees to be imbibing on the taxpayer’s dime during work hours. Then again, they probably didn’t count on “much sunshine.”

Keep the active investigation of the DOJ going! -'130 new high paid attorneys hired?' For what? .cover-ups? to block Freedom of Inofrmation requests? Dig deeper Repubs! ……..
Eric Holder . . . Gun Runner Extroadinaire!
If any of us had done what the ATF did. We would be dead.
Hopefully, he'll end up in Leavenworth!
Holder is, without a doubt, the most EVIL (and I don't use that word lightly) AG in the history of our nation. He's more than incompetent, his refusal to investigate the Black Panthers his zest for 'social justice' not real justice and the OP:GunRunner cluster frag shows that he doesn't care about the law.
Ever try nailing jello to the wall? He'll get the pocket pardon . . .

Dear President Obama,
I forgot to mention some advice to you in my last letter. As the rats continue to leave the sinking ship, you are going to have to provide them their portable for use at any future date Presidential Pardon. This is vital. If you don’t give them this life preserver they are going to be destroyed when Congress changes hands. As much as I would love to see the ballerina and the bore hauled before Congress and decimated, it will do the country no good. So please get that Xerox machine going, and let the pardons fly. You’ve got 37 days that should give you time to get every rat fitted with the proper pardon.
Remember what happens when you squeeze a rat Mr. President. They tend to squeal, and shriek, with the sound of truth as in: “I know everything and if you try to attack me I’ll sing like a canary!” Is that Blago’s line or Eric Holders? Have to say Eric Holder wouldn’t sing he worships you, Blago not so much, and the rest of the mob, well your usefulness has begun to fade.
The pardon pad is awaiting your attention Mr. President! Get to work!
Respectfully,
Joe Doakes
Expect the little weinie to take his last walk in his Narcissistic spotlight to "cop a plea" to needing therapy for his malady..Boo hoo.
*Oops, posted this on the wrong thread. I'll leave it anyway because it's true. As for the DOJ- they're corrupt.
Yes, BLACKS DO HAVE THE POWER TO BE RACIST. And now, they must be prosecuted for it.
People. Get your GoPro on and attend this party. Or as close as you can come to it. We need footage of this historic event.
Oops I think he meant "mow lawns".
I'd bet he is buying the weed and crack for this party from BO and the street hookers from moochelle
Let's get all f'd up so we have an excuse for f-ing up all the time. It's George's fault anyway.
Yeh, when the big scandal comes to light on BHO it will be a big party in the streets…it's coming, you know it is.
The leftists in charge sure do a lot of partying. We need to get these idiots out of power in 2012 if we stand any real chance of saving our Country. Whichever Republican that gets elected to replace the bumbler-in-chief in office now needs to make replacing Holder the first thing they do.
No cost to the Taxpayer, Holder funded it by selling arms to the Mexican Drug Cartels!
And the most elusive item of all in the scavenger hunt was Obamas true BC with justice for white citizens coming in at a close second.
These clowns are incorrigible. GOOD GOD IN HEAVEN! can we kick them all to the curb and start over??
The DOJ is now becoming nothing more than paid goons for hire, employed to "balance" all the injustices of previous generations.
With so much cr*p going on, such as,……
these weapons that Obama gave to the bandidos,………
which resulted in the death of a fine American,….
this story sure seems petty.
Articles such as this one can only diminish and dilute,….
the effectiveness of BG and the new emerging,….
civilian journalism.
Let's stay focused folks.
Where the hell is Issa?
Keep in mind that while these distractions are taking place Obama, who has stated that ' We cannot continue to rely ONLY on our Military in order to achieve the Natl Security Objectives that we've set. We've got to have a Civilian National Security Force' …Really?……Now, who do you think might make up his Civilian Natl Security force? ..Right.
and WE the People need to stop Obama's rampage against America. He's clearly building a full-out Dictatorship! The only thing that has ever slowed him down is a good old fashioned AMERICAN ELECTION!
Holder and Obama want the mexicans to be as heavily armed as possible as shock troops for the caliphate.
Oh NO!! Abuse of the privileged??!! Say it ain't so!! Like, helicopter rides to base ball games> Then….then….limo rides to the ball field….70 yards away!! Because a fat azz could not walk to the stands? Her Christie….your lame excuse was just that….lame. Getting ready for the white house in true Republican style? Yep, just keep cutting the budget for the poor and helpless….your fat azz needs them limo rides. SOMEONE has to pay for it. Oh that's right…YOU paid for it…..getting caught is a bummer huh Christie? How about you cut less in the health programs….the rate you're going, you will need those services soon.
Hey, lawyers are people too (snicker, snort, guffaw)! Besides, if they're partying and drunk they aren't cooking up more new ways to screw America up. I say pour a whole bottle of Glenlivet down each one of their throats and watch the fun begin.
Put the bottle down.
moby – An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question. The term is derived from the name of the liberal musician Moby, who famously suggested in February of 2004 that left-wing activists engage in this type of subterfuge: "For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion. Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, 'What's all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?'"
d, I'm going with worse.
Yeah, "I'm a Tax Lawyer"…..wasn't there? She must of been having her hair and nails done…. annually…12 grand….so Bachmann, cut some more social programs…..
Christie made no excuses, nor did he have to.
But hey, any reason to make a fat joke, heh? Stay classy. I thought lefties were better than that…(ow, I think I sprained by sarcasm gland on that one)
Get drunk, drive home and kill someone…all on the taxpayer dime.
Obama better declare that Thursday is a legal half day for the July 4th holiday, then. Having a beer bash during federal working hours would normally be a no-no.
No. But I bet Weiner did, and does.
Fat joke? No…the truth. I wish the Governor a long life…but unless he makes some serious personal choices, he won't have one. Obesity is a disease and he needs help. You see, I have problems with people telling others what they need in the way of health care…when the so desperately need it themselves. Understand? I knew you could. Now he did make an excuse?…"I thought it was alright to use the helicopter" …."I'm a father first"…."No one told me"….these are excuses. He was caught. He needs a StairMaster….NOT a 2000.00 an hour helicopter.
More likely questionably confiscated money from the drug war.
Oh, look it's the silverducher prancing around with his momma's keyboard. You out of your jammies and into your big pants yet?
Pay attention! The article is about Holder's DOJ. Nice attempt at deflection. It might have worked if you had not already established your self as a communist sympathizer.
….and as he's a Democrat appointee. Given recent events we now know that the porn industry has higher standards than Democrats.
We accept your juvenile back-pedaling for what it is. Hitching a ride on a training exercise, which would have been conducted anyway, is hardly the kind of abuse we have almost grown numb to as a result of the current regime. In fact, it's no kind of abuse, at all.
I don't think he is going to get his national security force even though he clearly wants one. I think Obama is completely exposed as the enemy of America that he is.
We may be lucky to live that long…
i wonder if anyone will get overtime pay for coming to this bash.
Guess what, Straw Man? If the people of New Jersey are aggrieved by Christie's use of the helicopter, then they can vote him out of office a little over two years from now. On the other hand, there is no way to blast loose unelected GS-15 and Senior Executive Service upper-middle-class welfare recipients from their government sinecures by the very design of the federal civil service.
You're a complete and total jackass, you know that?
I know, I just find it hard to bring kindness to the table when discussing the villainous traitors. I do have plenty available for the deserving though. It just seems that I have some angst that needs venting and the voting machines will be a good place to get my fingerprints. I will be voting with a vengeance, if we get the chance.
Don't know about you, but I eagerly anticipate the day when the adults return, kick the children out of the sandbox, and ground them – permanently.
Give us a reliable link to that 12 grand and not the lying huffpo or kos idiots.
Agreed. I just checked their ID page. Smells awfully fishy to me.
Civil Rights Division? You mean the one that ignores the reality that Illinois is the ONLY state in the entire country where Citizens are absolutely and 100% banned from exercising their Individual right to bear arms?
That division?
What a shock – yet another off-topic non sequitur…
Now, be fair! You know how parasites get suddenly illiterate when the source isn't either the Little Red Book or included on David Brock's approved reading list.

Right. Clearly he wants it Axion. Here he is stating it. He might run out of time now, We have to make sure that he does. He's the most dangerous of all of our Presidents. They never stop, while we are distracted.

Proof.

Got you up didn't I?
Here's your proof. Read it and weep. Stop denying that your leader is a traitor.
How many people can afford to party like the AG or obama can on our dime ? How many children are eating packaged noodles and cheese on a daily basis because the traitor-in-chief, his fat failed lawyer wife and piglosi (whose $ worth went up by 62% in the past two years) have literally STOLEN from their parents their livelihoods and stealthily pocketed the money into their offshore bank accounts?
Thiefs, slimeballs, treasonous racist scum……may you burn like in hell right here on earth. Your day in the food lines is coming and we will spit on you.
it is tough being a principled libertarian in today's world…
Ron Paul, God love 'em, is the crazy uncle you keep upstairs when company comes over.
Tim Pawlenty was for cap and trade before he was against it.
Rick Santorum is a good guy but an intellectual lightweight.
Herman Cain (see above)
Michelle Bachmann is Sarah without the downside. But COMPLETELY without her upsides.
Mitt Romney is a businessman posing as a politician, and will 'go along to get along'.
Take your pick…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s
Right. They hate the truth about the real agenda. obama plans it and holder covers the legal side with the 130 new lawyers that he's hired. That's documented too.
I am reminded of a certain French queen who, when told that the peasants had no bread, said "Let them eat cake." That worked out well for her. /sarc
Holder and the rest of the government elite need their little party – after all, us peasants can eat cake.
it is in our basic nature..
But your frustration is palpable and quite real. It is tough to divorce one's emotions from this; we all love our land and way of life- and will do what it takes to keep it.
We see civil disobedience being coordinated to provoke draconian police state rule. Perhaps martial law, which they would just LOVE. But we also see it backfiring.
Big Time…

Right. "O" is not distracted. He marches on with his agenda to take U.S. over.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s
Christie is a SUPERMAN!
He is going to CRUSH the commie unions!
his popularity amongst non-libertarians is so tiny it's almost immeasurable. that's why you hide the guy in public but listen to him in private. We'd appoint him head of the Fed SO FAST everyone's head would swim.
But the reality? As for now it looks like a Romney/Bachmann ticket.
Unless Rick Perry gets in- which is now more likely than Lady Sarah…
The most transparent ,ethical adm evah.Uh huh.
Thought things were gonna change under Obama.
Please…. camouflage it any way you want sweetie….still the Reuubes doing ANYTHING to hurt the current administration…..hows all them jobs doing that you guys said you get us? Remember that….I knew you could…instead..lets kill, social programs, planned parenthood, womens rights, special needs funding, health care, all the while….killing countless jobs as you do it….while holding your dicks masturbating over Weiners.
GOP……lol….. pervasive, morally bankrupt and oh so weak in the knees for the upcoming election…..how about we get us some unions?….Yep,,,,
Hey! Put down the swasticker…….I misspelled that…..don't worry, a "Moral" Republican will point it out.
You would probably win that bet.
Great grammar…..put down the neo Nazi handbook.
"He makes her look like J. Edgar Freakin' Hoover".
Well…..there you go again. What is it with you "Moral Republicans" fascination with gays? Come out of the closet….Gay people really are just like you…..no wait. I apologize…..to the Gays. They care about people…..Republicans do to the people, what they do to their wives….screw them over. It's the "Moral" thing to do.
Villainous traitors? Yes, the current Repubes, Bohenor, Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty how could you think anything other……
Well Joe,
Maybe if Bush did his job better, you would not feel the "testicular grab" as much. Yeah, Bush….the good ole days…when he would joke about Bin Laden…..(Now watch this drive)……and the "I'm not worried about him"…..yup…those good ole boys dayz……Bush makes Palin look like a scholar.
The Definitive Scandal: ‘Gunwalker’ Much Worse Than ‘Iran-Contra’ Pay attention to this era-defining event: The 2,000 weapons are implicated in an estimated 150 shootings of Mexican officers and soldiers, two American officers, and an unknown number of civilians.

Now, you know they all ride in chauffered limos…..
No, you see, I come to the Big sites expecting substance, so I was *disappointed* when I saw something
lacking it, and I said so. I saw others do the same, which is the kind of thing I've come to expect from conservatives and libertarians.
As for Fox spending time on Weiner, well… http://townhall.com/political-cartoons/mikeshelto... says it better than I could.
Head of the Fed. I like your thinking. Wouldn't he shake that place up?
Romney is a non starter for me after he signed socialized health care in Mass. Don't know much about Perry or Bachmann. And I'd need to do a lot more research before voting for Palin. Plus I think she's in the right spot and the right time in history to do just what she's doing. Enraging and engaging the left and driving them nuts in the process.
Bobby Jindle may not be the best when it comes to TV, but I still like what I've heard about him. Same with Jan Brewster from Arizona.
I guess we'll have to wait and see who ends up with the nomination in the end.
Wouldn't it be great to have a brigade of Washington police outside the gates of the building to catch the DOJ employees driving home after drinking all that beer? So much for the "Don't drink and drive!" campaign. Just what we want — a federal employee getting drunk on the job, with alcohol provided by our taxes, and killing someone.
Suggestion for party favors – coffee mugs with a whimsical saying:
"I'M DEAD WOOD, BUT THEY CAN'T FIRE ME!"
The author's bio says that he used to work in the Department of Justice. Did DOJ never have parties when he worked there (or maybe they did but no one told him about them)? Or is this only something you object to when a Democratic Administration does it?
I don't think "beer, wine and snacks" sounds particularly lavish, particularly when the party is occurring at their workplace.
Gentle Readers,
I WANT A JOB AT THE DOJ!!!!!
Beer! Food! Scavenger Hunts! And….. a Paycheck to boot
Sounds Great!

Lets all apply! That'll teach 'em a lesson!
They are so confident that winning in 2012,…
is really not that essential for them, why they,…….
are even grooming Romney as our front runner.
He will prove to be nothing more than a caretaker,…..
for Obamaism till,…….
the next wave of socialism hits DC.
On July 19, 2007, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Senate ethics committee to investigate whether Vitter's actions were considered "improper conduct which may reflect upon the Senate," a violation of Senate rules. CREW Executive director Melanie Sloan wrote in the complaint, "Whether or not Sen. Vitter is ultimately adjudicated to have broken any criminal laws, the Senate may still discipline him for improper conduct as it has done for others in the past." Senate ethics committee rules allow outside groups to file ethics complaints against members.[7]
New Orleans prostitute claims relations with Vitter; passes lie detector test
Vitter denied extramarital relations with New Orleans prostitute Wendy Cortez, but Cortez insisted that they did indeed have relations and passed a lie detector test. Cortez's claims were promoted by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, who said more revelations would be forthcoming soon. [8]
Ethics committee dismisses complaint
On May 8, 2008, the Senate Ethics Committee dismissed a complaint filed against Vitter for his alleged involvement in the D.C. prostitution ring.[9] The complaint, filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, argued that Vitter should be admonished for improper conduct.[7] In a letter issued by the committee, its members wrote that Vitter had not been criminally charged nor had his conduct involved his public office. The committee therefore rejected the complaint without prejudice. [9]
Just another lobotomized marxbot that can't express a coherent thought. It wants us to give it everything and produces nothing.
Now the camoflauge is off and we see the left for what it is, anti-American swill peddling with all the heft the communist party can give. I know it rubs you guys to think the jig is up but denial isn't going to bring it back for ya. Just admit it, and start packing, k?
How will the whining of the left go when conservatives control Congress, the White House and jobs return, values return, and economy starts booming? Oh, let me see…"It was Obama, his policy finally kicked in and now we see what a great and powerful man oz is."
I know staying on message is hard for you when the people you support are falling on their asses eh?
Ron Paul's biggest problem, aside from Ron Paul are his obnoxious supporters. I'm not saying you are one of them, but for anyone whose dealt with Paulians at a Tea Party, CPAC or other events, they are one step above Code Pink.
He needs to get his nuts in order before anyone will let him out of the attic.
There will be some Grecian styled shrieking then I tell you. Stomping of feet, holding breath, the whole gambit.
His National Security Force made up of SEIU, IBEW and other wonderful union members.
hmmmmm……….self-immolation too????
I believe it will be so. So…
Ummm obesity is not a disease, Obesity causes diseases like heart disease, high cholesterol and others. Before you become a Doctor, maybe you should go to Medical School.
So….2011…..the year of more than one Weiner going down in flames…..
like the man- honest and patritoic.
But libertarianism is a philosophy- not a form of govenment…
Oh but it is okay for Obama to take a limo whenever he goes golfing or takes the Presidential Helicopter to N.Y city so he could go and get a sandwich from one of his favorite deli places, but that is okay in your eyes? How much do you think it cost the taxpayers every time he goes golfing and has to take the limo and all of the secret service men with him? Sorry but you have no argument here when you are so blind to what others are doing and costing us.
I suspect in desperation there will be many of them. It seems that the DNC chair has placed her foot firmly in her mouth by claiming ownership of the economy while stupidly claiming an economic turn-around, as if the 14 million unemployed and the other 186 million rational thinkers would buy that. Yeah, they are imploding once again. I just hope this time it is complete political seppuku.
When was the last time your boss held a party during the day when you are supposed to be working? It is one thing to have a party or get together after work hours and paid for out of their own pockets, but another when it is being held when our country is falling down around us and the bill is being footed by us taxpayers.
"gamut". sorry.
Obama and Holder are so over their heads and out of their league at the level they are at. Hopefully the damage they are doing to America can be repaired after they are evicted in 2012.
Not to mention when was the last time it was a catered affair with ALCOHOL? No one does that but governement workers with no fear of getting fired ever.
How does a person living off of the taxpayers afford a computer and internet service?
Excuse the language, but I'm losing my phucking mind on a daily basis with these friggin people. Democrat or Republican, the waste has to end!
Yes, my boss has held a party during the workday and paid for it. a lot of bosses do. And no, I don't work in the public sector.
; ) Don't apologize. A mistake is a mistake. i was thinking about it as a scheme though.
Just trying to be helpful. I suppose I can see it as a scheme. If I were defending it to an English Lit. professor, that would be my story! lol!
It was a bad choice and surely not my first or my last. Not proofing before submitting gives me a healthy dose of humility.
