The new head of the U.S. pardon office, Deborah Leff, utilized her former position to steer money to the controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, WND has learned.
An extensive review of the grants made by a major progressive foundation run by Leff also found financing to the Marxist-oriented Sojourners, an activist group that claims to espouse Christian social justice, and funding to a group run by radical Van Jones, President Obama’s former “green” jobs czar.
Also financed by Leff’s foundation is the Herndon Alliance, a marketing outfit that was the driving force in branding Obamacare. WND first reported Herndon recommended a series of phrases, some deceptive, that the White House and Democrats used to sell the health-care law to the public.
The Justice Department announced last week that Leff, currently a senior adviser to Attorney General Eric Holder, will take over the Office of the Pardon Attorney, where she will oversee vetting federal inmate applicants for presidential grants of clemency.
Last week, WND exclusively reported Leff is deeply tied to former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers. Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2014/0...
