Repugs out to discredit author of DOJ report "targeting" Christie ...
Most of the quotes in this article (from a rabidly conservative site) attacking Maura Lee come from Hans von Spakovsky, a Bu**sh** minion who was in charge of disenfranchising minority voters. DUgle that name to learn more of his crimes.

Author of DOJ report targeting NJ Governor Chris Christie has history of using position for political purposes, sources say

By Amanda Carey - The Daily Caller

The Daily Caller has learned that the author behind the recent report from the Department of Justice that targeted five former U.S. attorneys for excessive travel expenses has had, according to our sources, a troubled history in the DOJ and attempted in the past to use her position to smear conservatives.

When the report surfaced last week, the investigation’s timing and targeting especially of New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie, who has steadily been raising his national profile, raised red flags.

According to the DOJ report, Christie — favored by many conservatives to run against President Obama in 2012 — spent a total of about $2,000 more than his budget allowed on 23 trips he took between 2007 and 2009. Almost immediately after the report’s release, conservative media and the blogosphere lit up with accusations that the report was politically motivated and meant to malign a rising star in the Republican Party.

Tom Fitton, the president of DOJ watchdog organization Judicial Watch, agreed with that sentiment, telling TheDC that his first instinct was that the report was nothing more than a hit job from an “ideological and hostile Justice Department that leaked the report.”

According to von Spakovsky, Lee was “one of the most belligerent, unprofessional lawyers” he encountered during his time at the DOJ. “Because of her,” he said, “we had to completely change our security protocol.”

I suppose anyone with a conscience trying to work in the Bu**sh** DOJ would have a "troubled" history.
