The Justice Department announced Wednesday it will no longer allow prosecutors
to strike settlement agreements with big companies
directing them to make payouts to outside groups,
ending an Obama-era practice that Republicans decried as a “slush fund”
that padded the accounts of liberal interest groups.

In a memo sent to 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices early Wednesday,
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would end the practice that allowed companies to meet settlement burdens
by giving money to groups that were neither victims nor parties to the case.

Sessions said the money should, instead, go to the Treasury Department or victims.



More proof of the obama criminal administration.
You know the third party payouts went to SEIU, BLM and others.

Imagine the outcry if the GOP was funneling millions of dollars to the NRA or the Heritage Foundation? The crimes that the democrats are allowed to perpetrate are frankly staggering.

(despite the embedded title)
Your vid is not about the OP. Which is the Obama/Holder scam
of diverting big business, out-of-court settlements w/ the Justice Department into Dem activism slush funds...
basically abuse of power / big government extortion racketeering.

It's weird... it's like it never happened... can't find one major news outlet video covering it.

Sessions sent out a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys reversing Obama/Holder policies...
and yes,
the drug/crime aspect got most of the headlines
but
the memo ALSO included ending the 'slush fund' scam...
and NOBODY covered it (on video MSM).

'Smoking gun' email reveals Obama DOJ blocked conservative groups from settlement funds, GOP lawmaker says
excerpts:


But internal Justice Department emails released Tuesday by Goodlatte indicated that not only were officials involved in determining what organizations would get the money, but also Justice Department officials may have intervened to make sure the settlements didn’t go to conservative groups.

...
“Concerns include: a) not allowing Citi to pick a statewide intermediary like the Pacific Legal Foundation (does conservative property-rights legal services),” the official, whose name is redacted in the email, wrote under the title of “Acting Senior Counselor for Access to Justice.”

The official added that “we are more likely to get the right result from a state bar association affiliated entity.”

...
“Aiding their political allies was only the half of it,” Goodlatte said. “The evidence of the Obama DOJ’s abuse of power shows that Tony West’s team went out of its way to exclude conservative groups.”

The documents indicate West played an active role in helping certain organizations obtain settlement information.

“Can you explain to Tony the best way to allocate some money to an organization of our choosing?” Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Elizabeth Taylor wrote in one November 2013 email.
