Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility Investigate DoJ for Illegalities (8:47 pm)
Margaret Talev and Greg Gordon for McClatchy report:
The Justice Department is expanding its internal inquiry to look into new allegations that senior department officials improperly filled career jobs based on applicants’ Republican or conservative credentials.
In a joint announcement Wednesday, officials at the department’s Office of Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility said their inquiry now included scrutiny of hiring in the Civil Rights Division, which oversees voting rights.
Politicization of civil service positions could violate department policy or federal law.

I encourage you to learn of the movement begun by Fethullah Gulen in Turkey. In Turkey it is called “Hizmet” meaning service. More than 100 peace and friendship schools have been started all over Asia and eastern Europe. The goal is to educate for peace. Moderate Muslims are speaking out and working for peace and understanding. Currently there are six of these schools in Iraq. To date, no student from these schools have joined the terrorists. Their newspaper “Today’s Zaman” is published in Istanbul. It’s important to be aware of those actually working for peace as much as hearing of war’s destruction everyday.
