Federal Prosecutor Under Fire For Obama, Trayvon Rants

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Craft's Facebook posts blasts 'stupid people' for electing 'Dalibama.' His boss, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas John Malcolm Bales, says he'll 'look into' comments; so it's not okay for federal officials to post incendiary political stuff and therefore perhaps the Rhode Island U.S. Attorney needs to open an investigation into NSA traitor, fascist pederast propagandist and "Pills" Limbaugh butt-buddy John Schindler for his bogus public attacks on investigative journalist Wayne Madsen

The U.S. Attorney in East Texas plans to review a federal prosecutor’s Facebook rants against President Barack Obama and Trayvon Martin.

John Craft, an attorney in the criminal division of the Eastern District of Texas, blamed “low-information” voters for electing the “Dalibama.”

He included a graphic that said, “Obama: Why Stupid People Shouldn’t Vote.”

In another post, Craft referenced the Martin case: “How are you fixed for Skittles and Arizona watermelon fruitcocktail (and maybe a bottle of Robitussin, too) in your neighborhood? I am fresh out of ‘purple drank.’ So, I may come by for a visit. In a rainstorm. In the middle of the night. In a hoodie. Don't get upset or anything if you see me looking in your window...kay?”

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Craft ridiculed dead Florida teen Trayvon Martin in a Facebook rant.

Martin was wearing a hoodie in 2012 when he was shot dead by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The 17-year-old had returned from the store with a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea.

The Beaumont (Tx.) Enterprise reported it received an email with screen shots of Craft’s derogatory posts.

John Malcolm Bales, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, told the paper he planned to “look into” Craft’s comments and he found any racist comments “reprehensible.”



Craft’s rants were posted to his private Facebook page. Bales said his prosecutors were entitled to their opinions on public issues. He emphasized Craft wasn’t speaking for the U.S. Attorney’s office in his posts and said he didn’t agree with the comments.

“It speaks ill of our office in connection,” Bales said. “We don't think like that. We don't act like that.”

Craft has avoided saying much about the posts. He told a reporter his comments “were not related to the U.S. Attorney’s office” and declined to comment further.

His employer echoed the sentiment in an official statement: “This office neither supports nor condones the views expressed on Facebook by Mr. Craft. He was not speaking on behalf of the U.S. Attorney's Office.”

Bales said his office doesn’t have a social media policy. He declined to say whether Craft would face disciplinary action.
