Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) is waiting for an answer to his June 8 letter to Attorney General Holder. And he may wait a good while longer because the Justice Department doesn’t want to explain its decision to dismiss its civil case -- the worst case of voter intimidation in many years -- and not pursue a criminal indictment.
Wolf’s letter -- a copy of which appears below (click on the image for a larger version) -- asks why the Justice Department dismissed a default judgment and dropped the case against the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, which Wolf’s letter describes as “a militant supremacist organization and hate group and its two members who threatened voters as part of a national voter intimidation effort on Election Day last November.”
According to Wolf’s letter, in an incident in Philadelphia (which many of us saw on Fox News on Election Day) one NBPP member pointed a weapon at individuals, menacingly tapped it on his other hand and such, all within eight to fifteen feet of a polling station. “One of the witnesses, an experienced civil rights attorney who worked with Charles Evers in Mississippi, has publicly called this ‘the most blatant form of voter intimidation’ he has ever seen.”
The Justice Department had obtained a default judgment against the New Black Panthers, apparently because the defendants did not want to subject themselves or their organization to discovery. Under the civil discovery process, both parties can obtain the documents and other evidence in the other party’s possession before trial, and can investigate the assets in pursuit of a judgment later.
The Justice Department dismissed the case, according to new reports, over the strong objection of career lawyers working in the Civil Rights Division.
House Judiciary Committee Republicans are considering their own query to Justice but it has been delayed for weeks apparently because of disagreement among the staff. While Judiciary’s internal debate continues, there are other issues to be pursued.
Sources have informed HUMAN EVENTS that there was correspondence -- e-mails, phone calls and the like -- between Justice Department political employees and outside interest groups on whether and how the New Black Panthers case should be pursued or dismissed.
HUMAN EVENTS has submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act for all documents comprising those communications. We have been informed that the Justice Department is delaying its response. We wait, as does Mr. Wolf.
From what I heard, Holder also refused to look at death threats to pro-lifers!! Maybe someone can post that article here.
Not too hard to see -
After all - who is the Justice Department’s “boss”? The one who would most directly benefit from the “New Black Panther” actions...
Nothing to see here, move along before you see something truly disturbing (like the crowning of King 0bama Hussein).
No action against the Black Panthers because 0bama’s brownshirts want to do the exact same voter intimidation and get away with it!

Stupid Question!
Are you an idiot for asking such a Stupid Question (or are asking rhetorically?
It is as obvious as - “he” double hockey sticks.
They are Black you stupid, ignorant @$$.
One DOES NOT prosecute BLACK people in this country especially if they get notoriety through the media first.
PS. Ignore the “ignorant @$$” statement. That is only for effect as we already know you were speaking rhetorically.
Obozo is a member.
There's no D.O. to cover the stench of my B0!!

“you?”
Not my piece
The answers are many and varied but truth beknown, Holder has no interest in upholding the laws of the land, except when his handler deems it ‘just’ to do so.
The man lacks balls.
This is substantiated by the fact that Holder has yet to investigate Barry/the Barry Administration over the illegal firing of the AmeriCorps IG.
What if the discovery part of the proceeding found that the thugs were PAID by Obama’s campaign to intimidate voters? In my experience, people committing felonies such as vote fraud are PAID. They don’t commit crime for patriotic reasons.
Can u imagine if this were the opposite way around? And, the Blacks in the south are compaining about voter rights.
I really think this photo should be on flyers of any Repub candidate in the Nov elections to remind them that no DEM asked Holder to go after these thugs. Could make undecideds think!
There is, just waiting for the right time... timing is everything...
There are a multitude of areas throughout America where these a$$holes wouldn't even dare to try such a stunt!
I know we wouldn't tolerate such Bravo Sierra in Orange County, CA!
Semper Fi,
Kelly
Even these thugs know there are three letters in "you".
u r correct.
Because, frankly, the DOJ is SCARED of the Black Panthers. The DOJ is INTIMATED by them.
