The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte says he has received a “smoking gun” email that shows former President Obama Justice Department blocked conservative groups from receiving settlement payouts, even though liberal groups were given the money.

“It is not every day in congressional investigations that we find a smoking gun,” Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Tuesday. “Here, we have it.”

According to the internal DOJ emails Goodlatte released Tuesday, officials chose which groups received the settlement funds, and even may have intervened to ensure conservative groups didn’t receive money.

Sets your cockles all atingle.

And yet, I think we all wonder if anything will come of it.

And the DOJ is doing exactly what about ANY of it?

Doubt it, but this kind of stuff will not help them in '18 off-year, which is generally a GOP dominated cycle as it is. If this drags out the next 9 months it will just be a political meat grinder.
