Fed Official (J. Robert Flores of OJJDP): Golf Helps End City Gang Crime - Former Staffer Tells ABC News Anti-Crime Funds Given to Programs With The “Right” Connections. - (saw this last night on ABC’s Nightline - he is appearing before The House Committee on Government Oversight today)

Peterson says current employees smuggled documents out of the Justice Department so he could provide them to ABC News as proof of the favoritism.

“More than a half dozen career employees through faxes, FedEx, made sure that you had this stuff,” said Peterson.

Many top-rated programs were denied federal grants.

A program to help troubled teens in San Diego, Vista, was ranked number two by the staff out of 202 applicants in its category of prevention and intervention but was turned down for a grant to help deal with inner city teen violence in San Diego.”*

OJJDP = Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, a Justice Department agency, since 2002.
