DOJ INVESTIGATING PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S BABY PARTS RING
December 8, 2017
According to Justice Gingsburg, selling baby parts is actually guaranteed by our Constitution. But the law may just have something to say about that. Especially when, unlike the previous administration, the folks in charge of it haven't been taking dead baby parts money from Planned Parenthood.
The Justice Department has launched a federal investigation into Planned Parenthood’s practices and the sale of fetal tissue.In a letter first obtained by Fox News, Justice Department Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd formally requested unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same panel that led the congressional probe into the women’s health organization.“The Department of Justice appreciates the offer of assistance in obtaining these materials, and would like to request the Committee provide unredacted copies of records contained in the report, in order to further the Department’s ability to conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of that report based on the full range of information available,” Boyd wrote.Fox News has learned that last month, the FBI first requested the unredacted documents from the committee.
Pause for media spin about the whole thing being a right-wing hoax. "You right wingers say selling baby parts like it's a bad thing." Followed by claims that Planned Parenthood did nothing legally wrong. Much like Hillary helping the Russians secure our Uranium or Susan Rice eavesdropping on Trump officials.
And then Planned Parenthood can accuse critics of hating women. While bringing out great defenders like Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein.
Trump Justice Dept. Opens Formal Probe Of Planned Parenthood
In a rare confirmation of a new investigation, the Justice Department has asked the Senate Judiciary Committee for its uncensored documents relating to last year’s congressional probe into Planned Parenthood’s practices and sale of fetal body tissues.
A year ago at the time of the committee’s final report — Human Fetal Tissue Research: Context and Controversy — chairman Chuck Grassley said he had found sufficient evidence of abortion providers transferring body parts and tissue from aborted fetuses for research and charging more than the cost of acquiring the material.
The Iowa senator also said evidence shows that the Justice Department in several administrations had neglected to enforce the law banning the sale and purchase of human fetal tissue.
Fox News is reporting now that Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd on Thursday formally requested the committee material.
“At this point,” Boyd wrote, “the records are intended for investigative use only—we understand that a resolution from the Senate may be required if the Department were to use any of the unredacted materials in a formal legal proceeding, such as a grand jury.”
In 2015, pro-life activists for the Center for Medical Progress posing as fetal tissue researchers captured Planned Parenthood officials on video recordings talking about acquiring and selling baby parts from aborted fetuses.
“Over two years ago,” the center’s leader, David Daleiden, said Thursday, “citizen journalists at the Center for Medical Progress first caught Planned Parenthood’s top abortion doctors in a series of undercover videos callously and flippantly negotiating the sale of tiny baby hearts, lungs, livers and brains.
“It is time for public officials to finally hold Planned Parenthood and their criminal abortion enterprise accountable under the law.”
