Stunning new developments in the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) voter-intimidation scandal indicate that high level Justice Department officials have been misleading the public and Congress. Indeed, they may also have committed perjury before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Judicial Watch recently filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit requesting documents. These detail numerous discussions between the Civil Rights Division and political appointees in the highest reaches of the Justice Department including Eric Holder and two of his assistants. These documents directly contradict statements from the Office of Public Affairs that the decision to dismiss the case was made entirely by career lawyers in the Civil Rights Division. The privilege log released by Judicial Watch strongly suggests that these political appointees were intimately involved in the decision-making that ultimately resulted in the outrageous gutting of the voter-intimidation case against the Panthers. This case has been virtually ignored by the MSM for almost two years.
One of the best I’ve ever seen! I’m sill laughing as I type.
Beelzebama and his Stedman will not prosecute. they want to use his feral goons as a Ton Ton Macoute, storm troopers and Black and Tans to club the public into submission. They will fail..
Will this be televised today?
From what Meg Kelly said yesterday Coates testimony will.
Gonna be gone most of the day...Hope it’s later this afternoon.....Check cspan.
If this isn’t corrected to the satisfaction of constitutional law, this is the sort of thing that could cause an uprising.
If the Black Panthers were to attempt another voter intimidation situation around another voting post in the misguided belief they could get away with it again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see blood. This could get out of hand very easily.
I am watching Fox News.
They have a reporter on the scene.
Didn’t sound like we were going to get to see the testimony, but I could be wrong and I hope I am.
Picked up on twitter (unverified) ...

Thanks!!
I checked c-span before I switched to FoxNews.
CSPAN-2 was replaying obama’s UN speech.
C-1 was covering the opening of the House or Senate.
I’ll try C-2.
IF Republicans had done this the 'press' would have a name with 'gate' at the end - and it would be front page Washington Post for months...
The New York Times would be breathlessly covering the story too... Now, effing crickets because the MSM is a biased, butt-kissing sell out for liberals.
Sandy “stuffed pants” Berger? You ought to know that he was only “taking notes” (literally) for research! (sarc.)
I think you’ve got a point. But it won’t be just the Black Panther voter-intimidation scandal - it will be that plus a dozen other Obama administration outrages in the AGGREGATE.
Right - if it had been Republicans, Henry Waxman would already have had a dozen investagative committees and commissions formed and the Senate would be looking into articles of impeachment!
Perhaps the L/MSM will not be able to hold a lid on this if they are hounded by enough of people asking why they are staying mum on it. Their first priority is self preservation. They may start to ease up on their protection of the administration. However. I will not hold my breath on it.
