Like many progressives, Pelosi doesn’t have a problem with Planned Parenthood selling baby parts from abortions, immediately dismissing the videos as misleadingly edited. Well, it would be foolish of the investigators at The Center for Medical Progress to have edited the material in such a way because they would immediately incriminate themselves after people view the raw footage.
But that’s too much common sense for progressives. Planned Parenthood might not be violating the law by engaging in these activities, and the Dems certainly don’t want us looking into that further. But, it should be obviously morally reprehensible to traffic baby parts – but then again, morals are so ‘yesterday’.
Politico reported the news of the coming DOJ investigation earlier today:
JUSTICE TO PROBE CENTER FOR MEDICAL PROGRESS — While congressional committees investigate Planned Parenthood’s practices, the Justice Department agreed to look into whether the group that released the sting videos obtained the footage legally. In response to a request by House Democrats, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday afternoon that Justice would “review all of the information and determine what the appropriate steps moving forward would be.” Planned Parenthood has staunchly defended its practices and claims that the Center for Medical Progress illegally obtained its footage, then excessively edited it to misrepresent what the organization does.
The DOJ investigation of the Center for Medical Progress, which, unlike Planned Parenthood, is not in the business of killing healthy, viable unborn babies in order to sell their organs for cash, was announced after several Democratic lawmakers called for the organization to be targeted:
Four Democrats in Congress — Reps. Jan Schakowsky, Zoe Lofgren, Jerry Nadler, and Yvette Clarke — have written to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and California Attorney General Kamala Harris, asking them to open investigations into the Center for Medical Progress. The Democrats say the videos were filmed as part of an “elaborate scheme” — using “fake identification” and without the approval of the Planned Parenthood doctor who appears in them.
It’s interesting that Lynch decided so early to make a statement about the group. There are certainly more videos to come, and if Planned Parenthood’s panicked press releases are any indication, the footage may be far more damaging than anything that’s been revealed thus far. However, given the abject politicization of multiple agencies under Obama’s command — including the Internal Revenue Service, which targeted conservative non-profits, and the DOJ, which has been hesitant to investigate Obama allies — it seems unlikely that Lynch and those who report to her will ever crack down on Abortion, Inc.

I think she’d look good in a $#%&!@*s uniform.
Very true
je-susss ! ! look @ the head on that ??
The democraps get pissed where they are exposed!
She probably will see herself in on e of the videos
I live for the day when I don’t have to look at her on T.V. or listen to her stupid comments. We need a literacy test before you can run for office.
of course she wants an investigation of those that exposed PP. Whenever someone gets busted doing something like this, if they can the media focus on who told on them rather than what they have done, they will do their best to keep the story spinning that way and off of them.
Obama launching a revenge against the journalists? I guess that should not surprise me. He has no morals or a heart either then.
Wow
