Top Obama DOJ Officials Involved in Decision to Drop Black Panther Case According to Evidence Obtained by Judicial Watch

Black Panther Case is coming back to life after Judicial Watch finally received the documents they requested. Without Judicial Watch, the Black Panther case would be dead. Judicial Watch is continuing to press for documents that have been withheld from the public:

The index describes 122 documents (totaling at least 611 pages) that the Obama Justice Department is withholding from the public in their entirety. A federal court hearing in the matter is scheduled on October 5, 2010 in Washington, DC, before U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton.

“This new evidence shows that the Obama team lied when it said politics did not influence the Black Panther dismissal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We now know that top political leaders inside Obama Justice Department were involved in the call to drop the Black Panther case. And we also know that at least one top Justice official said otherwise under oath. In the meantime, we will ask the Court to require the Obama Justice Department to release these (and other) secret documents about this scandal and its cover-up.”

The Obama Administration who Obama promised would be the most transparent of any Administration is probably the least transparent since they are withholding 211 documents pertaining to the Black Panther case. Holder and his staff need to resigned. This whole deal needs to be investigated by Congress which we don't see happening until Pelosi and her crowd are tossed out on November 2nd with moving day the first week of January.

Washington, DC -- September 21, 2010

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released a draft Vaughn index prepared by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that shows that the two top political appointees at the DOJ were involved in the decision to dismiss the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (NBPP). The index, obtained pursuant to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, contradicts sworn testimony by Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, who testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that no political leadership was involved in the decision.

The Vaughn index produced by the DOJ describes documents that are currently being withheld in their entirety. The index details a series of internal DOJ emails regarding the Black Panther case between the highest political appointees inside Justice, including former Deputy Attorney General David Ogden and the Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli.

EDITORIAL: Black Panther case roars back to life

New evidence undermines Justice Department spin
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for civil rights, is in big trouble. The public-interest group Judicial Watch yesterday released a 62-page index of documents regarding the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case that undermines the credibility of Mr. Perez and of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.

For more than a year, The Washington Times has been reporting that Mr. Holder's top political appointees intervened to force the abandonment of serious sanctions against the Black Panther members who threatened voters at a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008. The Justice Department denied the claim, with spokesman Tracy Schmaler asserting to the contrary that only "career employees" engaged in what supposedly was a decision based entirely on "the facts and the law." On May 14, Mr. Perez swore under oath before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that there was no "political leadership involved in the decision not to pursue this particular case any further than it was" and that it was only "a case of career people disagreeing with career people."

As was seen when a host of outsiders accused the George W. Bush administration's Justice Department of firing U.S. attorneys in order to interfere with ongoing investigations, it is improper for cases to be dismissed for purely political reasons. The Obama administration should be held to the same standard.

Hillary Clinton Versus The Black Panther Party And ACORN

If you only read one website about The New Black Panther Partyvoter intimidation, make sure it is the July 9, 2010, article on Hillaryis44.org which details Hillary Clinton versus The Black Panther Party and ACORN. We are only covering the highlights of the article on DfS, but we agree with them that Republicans need to wake up and realize what we are facing in the 2010 election.

We have no idea how many New Black Panther Party members they are, but they could be very dangerous to our right to vote especially in the cities on November 2nd. Now that we know the DOJ has no intention of reigning them in by their actions along with the willingness of their political appointed lawyers to lie, we are faced with getting local law enforcement to enforce the voting rights laws.

After watching the video by Big Government in the post below wanted to find out more information about New Black Panther Party intimidation of Democrat primary voters. While researching, found this site, Hillaryis44.org and decided it would make an interesting read as it was just posted yesterday. Figured it had to do with the voter intimidation during the Democrat primaries which we had viewed in 2008. After viewing those videos in 2008, we were left with the feeling that Hillary should have won the primary not Obama because the obvious intimidation and voter fraud pointed to a Hillary victory. We have wondered why at the Democrat Convention they stopped the voting. Was it close or did Hillary actually win?

That said, we were not prepared to read all that was posted on Hillary is 44 concerning voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers. Frightening may not be a strong enough word as they are protected by Obama and Holder.

This video is a must see from Fox News about the DOJ dismissing the Black Panther case. The interview with Bartle Bull, a Civil Rights Lawyer who goes back to supporting voting rights during the era of Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and who is a life long Democrat will send chills down your spine. Watch the video and realize what could lie ahead in 2010 and 2012:


We found these comments from the Hillaryis44.org website particularly chilling:

Barack Obama’s ties to ACORN are long and enduring. The public face of ACORN as a defender of inner city communities hides the private face of ACORN as a hierarchy of corruption. Like Ted Kennedy (and Al Sharpton) who pretended to be neutral in the primaries of 2008, ACORN also pretended neutrality. Eventually Ted Kennedy made his corrupt bargain with Obama public (Sharpton knew public support would harm Obama so he kept quiet but privately to Obama corrupt Al Sharpton said “I’m gonna do whatever I gotta do to help you… I won’t endorse you or not endorse you.”). Eventually ACORN made it’s long secret endorsement public too.

After the secret endorsement was made public, Barack Obama paid ACORN to get out his vote although we did not find out about it till it was too late.

“Barack Obama’s failure to accurately report his campaign’s financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign’s interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing ‘new’ politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the ‘old-style’ Chicago politics of yesterday.” [snip]

“All of this just seems like an awful lot of money and time spent on political campaigning for an organization that purports to exist to help low-income consumers,” said Terry, chief public advocate for Consumers Rights League, a Washington, D.C., advocacy outfit with a libertarian outlook. [snip]

The Ohio primary was March 4. According to FEC records, the Obama campaign paid Citizens Services Inc. $832,598.29, from Feb. 25 to May 17.”

ACORN is more than a little nut. The dangerous nut to crack is the New Black Panther Party which is repudiated by the earlier Black Panther Party. A video of the New Black Panther Party demonstrates the shabbiness of Obama’s protectors:

“Bartle Bull accuses the Obama Administration of corruption in handling the Philadelphia Black Panthers charges of Voter Intimidation in the November 2008 case that was dismissed by Steve Rosenbaum & Loretta King, both political appointees working in the Obama Administration.”

If this video isn't chilling, nothing is. Why is this man not in custody with his threats on killing 'crackers' and threatening a multi-racial couple? Is it true the New Black Panthers have a blank check to do what they want by the DOJ? If so, it is scarier than we originally imagined?

Please go read the complete posting on Hillaryis44.org and share it with people you know. Our post before this one along with this post should scare everyone about what could happen in November. Local authorities have to be prepared as it is obvious the DOJ by their actions has no intention of stopping the New Black Panthers. The proof came when the Civil Rights Commission allowed the New Black Panthers into the hearing to try and intimidate longtime Civil Rights Attorney Bartle Bull who was testifying as a witness to the Voter Intimidation in Philadelphia. These New Black Panthers will stop at nothing because they know they are protected by Obama and Holder.

Bartle Bull has earned our respect because he is standing up for all our rights to vote free of intimidation no matter who you are -- he truly believes in one man, one vote for every 'legal' voter. Republicans, Independents, and Democrats who care about fair elections need to join with Attorney Bull and others to ensure every last legal American has a right to vote without intimidation and have their vote counted without voter fraud.

The United States sends people like Jimmie Carter to foreign countries to oversee their elections to make sure they are honest. Wonder if Iraq would be willing to send their people to the United States to oversee our 2010 election? Iraq leaders figured out a way to ensure it is one person one vote in Iraq -- shame we cannot say the same for the United States today.

New Black Panther Party President Admits to Philadelphia Voter Intimidation - Holder’s Justice Department Still Silent

We were told all through the 2008 Presidential Election Cycle that electing a black man for President would make race relations much better. A liberal black Democrat, Obama, was elected and after his appointments like Eric Holder to be Attorney General at the Department of Justice (DOJ), race relations are now a low ebb for the last 40 years. Their followers including the SEIU demonstrated they will beat up a black conservative as witnessed in St. Louis last year. Note: The video of the beating has been removed from YouTube.

When Obama/Holder dismissed the voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia who were caught on tape with their voter intimidation not only against whites but against blacks as well, we knew it was going to be a long four years.

There were videos during the Democrat Primary showing blacks using voter intimidation against anyone who was supporting Hillary to keep them from voting. Blacks at the polling places would ask who they were voting for and if they said Hillary, they were turned away. We will have more on this in a separate post from information we discovered on a site that details the intimidation.

When the DOJ tells their lawyers not to file any charges against voter intimidation of blacks against whites, what is going to happen in the large cities in this 2010election? The New Black Panthers used a night stick as intimidation when weapons had not been used in the past to keep voters away from the polls according to a Democrat Civil Rights lawyer.

There is NEVER a time that voter intimidation of any kind should be allowed in America -- justice should be blind but obviously it is not in Obama/Holder's Department of Justice.

With this new video coming to light along with DOJ Attorney's testimony on this case about how it was dropped, how is Holder going to explain his actions now? Are blacks now going to be allowed to intimidate whites at polling places across America to keep them from voting with no consequences?

New Black Panther Party President Admits to Philadelphia Voter Intimidation; Holder’s Justice Department Still Silent

“You know we don’t carry batons…. PSYCHE! Heh heh heh… I’m just playin’” – Malik Zulu Shabazz, Preident of The New Black Panther Party.

The Justice Department has seen fit to drop voter intimidation charges against Malik Shabazz’ New Black Panther Party’s involvement in the now infamous events at a polling place in Philadelphia on November 4, 2008. In light of the recent testimony by former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, the story is gaining further attention and scrutiny.

Now, Breitbart.tv is featuring a newly discovered video showing Shabazz boasting about his organizations intentions that day in Philadelphia.

"Let's give him a hand, man."

Glad the Justice Department let these guys off the hook for voter intimidation.
