Today, the federal government is asking an entire country for “tips” about one man. Who is the focus of this intensive effort? A top outstanding Al Qaeda terrorist? Someone from the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list?

Nope. In fact, you’ll never guess who it is. Oh, you read the headline. Sneaky of you.

The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday afternoon appealed to civil rights groups and community leaders, nationally and in Sanford, for help investigating whether a federal criminal case might be brought against George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, one advocate said. The DOJ has also set up a public email address to take in tips on its civil rights investigation. Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law – who earlier in the day joined calls for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, said that later in the afternoon, she joined a U.S. Department of Justice conference call to discuss the prospects. “They were calling on us to actively refer anyone who had any information,” that might build a case against Zimmerman for either a civil rights violation or a hate crime, Arnwine said. “They said they would very aggressively investigate this case.”

The email address for tips is Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov. I’ll be writing them and I think you should write them too.

I plan to send in a tip talking about how George Zimmerman has mentored black children. I will also mention how Eric Holder and James Clapper lied under oath to Congress, in case they want to investigate real crime. I will likely send that email later today and publish it.

I encourage everyone reading to send in a similar “tip,” as it sounds like DoJ needs some help here. Copy me on your email and I’ll publish the best ones.
