Recently released documents disclosed by the Obama Justice Department only after a court battle reveal that the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice is engaging in politicized hiring in the career civil service ranks.

And the evidence of the current political activity is far less impeachable than what was behind the libelous attacks leveled at officials from the Bush years.
