Justice Department says it mistakenly emailed link to white nationalist website

[mfcorey1]

The Justice Department on Thursday said an email sent to immigration court employees this week should not have included a link to a white nationalist website.

The email, which included links to daily stories involving immigration news, included a link to a blog post on VDare, a white nationalist site, Buzzfeed News reported.


The blog post “directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs,” the immigration judges' union complained in a letter to DOJ that was obtained by Buzzfeed. “Publication and dissemination of a white supremacist, anti-Semitic website throughout the EOIR is antithetical to the goals and ideals of the Department of Justice,” the letter said.

NBC News has not independently obtained the letter or the email, but the Justice Department's Executive Office of Immigration Review acknowledged there had been a mistake.

1. And they just happen to have the link handy?

2. Peter Brimelow, VDare's founder, is a bridge figure between white nationalists and 'regular', albeit

really RW, conservatives. Brimelow was previously a writer and editor at the National Review, and columnist for Dow Jones' MarketWatch.

A true fuckstick.

Cokie's Law - about politics and media coverage...

Cokie's Law states that it does not matter if it is true or not. It's out there.

Cokie Roberts journalist, author, reporter

Then they can apologize in a much smaller forum. (If they do)

8. Bill Barr is doing such a "good" job running the DOJ.

He has turned the DOJ into Trump’s personal law firm, he launched a partisan investigation of the FBI to weaken its reputation, he oversaw the prison system that allowed Epstein to commit suicide, and now his department is promoting white supremacy with attacks against immigration judges! He is obviously incompetent in representing the people of the US, but he’s a master in representing Trump’s beliefs and the protection racket he has going.

10. There was no mistake.

The racism is baked into the Trump Administration. It is the unquestionable norm and commonplace that the people who correct articles from white nationalist websites don't even pause.

The leadership approves the slanted content, racism and discrimination against religions, ethnicity and nationality because that is the accepted policy. They give the thumbs up to send that view to the entire department... Day after day because that is standard.

Now that the truth is out, they can't stuff it back under the rocks and pretend it was just a grade school mistake.

27. And just how did that video of a woman in a cowboy hat offering to spank somebody and ...

.... they had to call her "boss lady" show up on my iMac's download page? Must have been
the neighborhood kids and their smart phones. Funny, how those magic links just showed up
those DoJ computers.


BTW did you see this?

14. They should have used the standard dodge, it was a joke.

But why say anything? Everyone really knows what is going on and Republicans do not care.

15. It's not the administration's first connection to Vdare

August 2018:

President Trump’s economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, had a publisher over for dinner earlier this month who provides a platform for white nationalists, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Kudlow, who has known Peter Brimelow for decades, said he wasn’t aware that for nearly 20 years Brimelow has run a website, Vdare.com, that promotes white-identity politics. This follows the firing of a Trump speechwriter for appearing at a conference with Brimelow.
