Agreed, there’s indications DOJ thought he’d trip them up from the beginning. They reassigned him to SC which is out of the subpoena jurisdiction of the USCCR and told him to ignore the original subpoena, it looks like he’s tripping them up anyway.

It seems highly likely this is a direct result of the the disclosure of the emails described in the privilege log obtained by Judicial Watch. Coates’ testimony has been stuck for months if not more than a year. But he comes forward only a few days after they came out. Nothing really prevented him from doing this before except obedience to his superiors.
There is no longer even a fig leaf behind which DOJ can hide, and his duty to tell the truth and uphold the law clearly trumps whatever was holding him back.
DOJ may try some super fancy legal trick to keep him from testifying, but that’s a pretty tall order at this point.
This is a huge, huge deal.

All’s people want is JUSTICE at the JUSTICE Dept.
Good for this man! I hope he does not het Walpined before he can testify.
To: jazusamo
Perez, Fernandes and Holder will not be happy, Coates will likely confirm they're liars. 2011 is going to be a year of much popcorn being eaten when the Obama administration gets splayed wide-open by all the Congressional investigation.

Nothing really prevented him from doing this before except obedience to his superiors.Or perhaps an understanding that there is a right to executive privilege - but not to the point of covering up a crime. The difference could be that there is now evidence of a crime in public view and therefore he is free to not obey an illegal order. Just a guess.

...career lawyer Christopher Coates has sent a letter to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights offering to testify Friday on matters related to the controversial New Black Panthers voter-intimidation case.

Coates should stay off airplanes and hire a bodyguard lest he wants to become the next Ron Brown.

Holder still thinks he can get away with it..especially if they can get it ‘settled’ while the dems are still in control. They are trying to push the case to a conclusion before all hell breaks lose.

The Commission will say thanks...but, no thanks.
To: Truth29
That may have been the case if he was part of the Holder appointed staff. But, he's not. So, I think he's probably going to do the right thing. Some one with a conscience left.

I don’t think that’s likely. There’s eight members; 2 Dems, 2 Inds and 4 Repubs and 1 Repub is Abigail Thernstrom who has said this is no big deal. The other 3 Repubs and 2 Inds (really Repubs) are going to welcome this testimony.
