Yeah this bullshit is really starting to hurt a lot of honest companies. Lets hope the libtards in Washington will follow through.
And there will be zero consequences. Public employees aren’t personably responsible for anything they do on the job. Until that changes we’ll see these type of blatantly illegal acts being carried out. Worst now is the gov fights it in court and by then the perps are onto other jobs and the process repeats.
There is rarely any accountability for government officials, it’s sickening. A few interesting quotes from the article…
"In light of the Department’s obligation to act within the bounds of the law, and its avowed commitment not to ‘discourage or inhibit’ the lawful conduct of honest merchants, it is necessary to disavow and dismantle Operation Choke Point,” the report said.
"…the program was “was created by the Justice Department to ‘choke out’ companies the Administration considers a ‘high risk’ or otherwise objectionable, despite the fact that they are legal businesses.”
“Operation Choke Point has forced banks to terminate relationships with a wide variety of entirely lawful and legitimate merchants,” and that the Department of Justice “is aware of these impacts, and has dismissed them.”
The report found that Attorney General Eric Holder knew about Operation Choke Point prior to its launch, knew that it was designed to target legal, law abiding citizens, and fully supported its implementation. It also suggests that subsequent to the discovery of the program by the press in late 2013, there may have been an effort by the Department of Justice to cover up key aspects of its operation.
