Sting video of left-wing DOJ staffer bragging about misuse of govt. resources sparks investigation
Paralegal says 'we can't really get fired'; Conservative activist says it's 'Deep State incarnate'
The Department of Justice said Wednesday it would investigate an employee caught in a Project Veritas sting bragging about using her job to help advance the political agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Allison Hrabar, a Justice Department paralegal, said in the undercover video that she found the address of a DC lobbyist by running his license plate at work, which she then used to organize a DSA protest outside his home.
She admitted that she was not permitted to do so “officially.” Other DSA members said that she used the department’s Lexis Nexis account to ferret out the addresses of protest targets.
“She uses it probably on her work computer … That’s the kind of thing that you would get fired for,” said Natarajan Subramanian, a Government Accountability Office auditor and fellow DSA member, on the hidden-camera video.
A Justice Department statement posted by Project Veritas said the matter would be referred to the Inspector General.
“These allegations are deeply concerning,” said the statement. “Department policy prohibits misuse of government resources to advance personal interests. We are looking into this immediately and have referred this matter to the Inspector General as well.”
