Justice Department Prosecutorial Misconduct, Introductory Remarks

Mr. Hurley provided introductory remarks before the panel discussion on the topic of the allegations of political misconduct at the Justice Department during the Bush administration. His remarks were followed by a panel discussion led by Andrew Kreig.

In his remarks he spoke about Sarah McClendon, her participation on the board of a museum for Southern history, and his investigation of efforts by critics of the museum which he said revealed a concerted effort by federal officials to plant informants on neo-Nazi and white supremacists within the museum organization. He said such actions were evidence of a “hidden agenda” espoused by government officials “which no one knows anything about.”

The panel discussion that followed is on program 287304-1. close
