DOJ Sues Gallop

Following the previous update on the Gallop poll where I mentioned Gallop was being sued, here's the article.  What is up with the DOJ?  They can go after states that try to implement voter id and pollsters who don't give the WH favorable numbers.  But can't stop the flow of guns to Mexican drug lords?  Go figure.

Justice Dept. Gallup lawsuit came after Axelrod criticized pollsters

 Internal emails between senior officials at The Gallup Organization, obtained by The Daily Caller, show senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod attempting to subtly intimidate the respected polling firm when its numbers were unfavorable to the president.

After Gallup declined to change its polling methodology, Obama’s Department of Justice hit it with an unrelated lawsuit that appears damning on its face.

TheDC is withholding the identities of the Gallup officials to protect them from potential retaliation from Obama’s campaign and his administration. (SEE ALSO: DOJ still hasn’t served Gallup with lawsuit)
In April, Axelrod tweeted that a poll showing Mitt Romney with a 48-43 percent lead over Obama was “saddled with some methodological problems,” directing his Twitter followers to read a National Journal story criticizing Gallup polls showing a Romney lead.
