 Still, for three decades, the integrity of Justice’s officials sufficed to prevent abuse.

 Then, in 2009, Tony West took over the department’s Civil Division, the division that litigates and settles lawsuits.

 Once West arrived, his deputy emailed colleagues asking “can you explain to Tony the best way to allocate some money toward an organization of our choosing?”Settlements became the vehicle for paying off political allies.

 For example, in late 2010, after a Supreme Court victory, DOJ lawyers were on the cusp of winning a decade-long fight against discrimination claims by 91 Hispanic and female farmers.

 That’s when West intervened and, as The New York Times put it, “engineered a stunning turnabout.”

 DOJ agreed to a $1.33 billion settlement which included thousands of farmers who had never claimed bias.

 The deal was made over the “vehement objections” of the department’s career lawyers.

The Times’s investigative report described West’s settlement as a “runaway train, driven by racial politics . . . and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees.”

 The projected settlement size ballooned to over $4.4 billion as additional plaintiffs were added, including Native American farmers.

 The government’s statistical expert was appalled: “‘If they had gone to trial, the government would have prevailed . . . It was just a joke. . . . I was so disgusted. It was simply buying the support of the Native Americans.’”

In this legal shakedown, California’s attorney general at the time, Kamala Harris, was an active participant, cosigning the agreements for her state.

 The Biden-Harris Administration has continued West’s “Honest Graft” tactics to reward political allies on the taxpayers’ dime.

 In 2021, a billion-dollar settlement with illegal immigrants claiming emotional distress was scotched only after public outcry.

 Even then, DOJ quietly agreed to pay attorneys’ fees to the ACLU lawyers in the long-running case.

Seems that MANY of them do. For any number of reasons.

And this is but ONE example of how they do.
