The event was held Nov. 16th-19th at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>J. Christian Adams:<\/strong> I&#8217;m going to talk to you today about what&#8217;s going on at the Justice Department, is the topic of my talk, and of course, if you tune into Fox News on any given day, that seems to be the lead story.\u00a0 So I&#8217;m going to talk a little bit about that.\u00a0 Many of you have been asking me this weekend what&#8217;s going on at the Justice Department, and I told you, wait until Sunday and we&#8217;ll cover it in great detail.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When I was at the Justice Department, I learned that the Justice Department has so much power over so many things.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve been to the pool, you&#8217;ve seen the chair that goes in and out of the pool, that&#8217;s a Justice Department mandate.\u00a0 Civil rights, elections, on and on.\u00a0 It is the fulcrum upon which Obama and Holder initiated a radical transformation of the country.\u00a0 Everything went through the Justice Department, and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When Holder dismissed my New Black Panther case in 2009, a few months after they were sworn in, those of us working at the Department began to see this radical transformation taking place, just starting at the time.\u00a0 And you didn&#8217;t think it was possible, right?\u00a0 You didn&#8217;t think that, okay, the men with billy clubs in front of a poll, and you bring a case and the case is dismissed, but you also didn&#8217;t think they would keep going.\u00a0 And frankly, the New Black Panther case, with the benefit of hindsight, was just the beginning of a radicalized transformation of, frankly, the United States. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Holder and Obama institutionalized this radicalism at the Justice Department.\u00a0 They made it not radicalism to the people who work there.\u00a0 To the people who worked there, my colleagues, this was simply this new, enlightened way of thinking.\u00a0 It was progressivism meets power, and that&#8217;s what you saw over the course of 8\u00a0years.\u00a0 They turned the law into a relativist, racialist, radicalism, and that&#8217;s what we saw time after time after time.\u00a0 Now, I&#8217;m here to tell you about what&#8217;s happening now.\u00a0 What has happened the last\u00a010 months since the inauguration, and it&#8217;s a mixed bag, and we&#8217;ll go over some mixed things that are going on and some bad things that are going on still.\u00a0 But first the good news.\u00a0 I put at the top of the list the fact that Eric Holder&#8217;s war on cops is over.\u00a0 It&#8217;s done.\u00a0 Those of you who have read my book, it&#8217;s like listening to a Louie Gohmert talk though, which is very hard to follow by the way.\u00a0 There are so many fanciful, farcical things that are\u00a0totally true that you can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s actually happening, and it gives you an insight into how nuts some of these people were.\u00a0 For example, when I was at the Justice Department under Obama, they actually hired an organization, Northeastern University, to do police sensitivity training.\u00a0 Now I&#8217;m not done with this.\u00a0 One of the consultants working for this organization to do police sensitivity training &#8212;\u00a0and by the way, they charged you, the taxpayers, a million dollars to produce these materials.\u00a0 One of the women who worked for this organization was Angela Davis.\u00a0 Do you remember this?\u00a0 And of course Angela Davis is the communist who probably was involved in the murder of a judge in California, but this is the sort of world we lived in under Eric Holder, where federal tax money was moving to an organization, that has as part of its staff Angela Davis, to train police officers.\u00a0 That&#8217;s the world we&#8217;ve left under President Obama.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Another good thing that has happened since the inauguration, &#8220;sue\u00a0and settle&#8221; is over.\u00a0 What do I mean by &#8220;sue and settle&#8221;?\u00a0 You guys got to give the progressives credit, they&#8217;re geniuses when it comes to leveraging power.\u00a0 What Obama instituted was a series of lawsuits at DOJ against, for example, financial services companies, for redline mortgaging, or other housing firms for discrimination in mortgage lending.\u00a0 And they would extract these gigantic settlements out of these corporations, and they would require the corporations to set aside millions of dollars for a slush fund that would then be used by progressive organizations.\u00a0 Just think about that.\u00a0 They would leverage federal power to fuel their far-left allies, and that&#8217;s what they did for 8\u00a0years and Jeff Sessions ended it.\u00a0 Immediately terminated the program, so &#8220;sue and settle&#8221; is\u00a0over, good.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><strong>View the complete article including image, video and comments at:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/268707\/j-christian-adams-whats-happening-justice-frontpagemagcom\">http:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/268707\/j-christian-adams-whats-happening-justice-frontpagemagcom<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warrior for law and order shares the good and bad news from the Trump DOJ at Restoration Weekend.
