Smoking e-mails? [Black Panther scandal]
The Pittsburgh Tribune ^ | November 15, 2010

Posted on 11/14/2010 9:45:33 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

E-mails newly obtained by Judicial Watch strengthen contentions that politics motivated the Obama Justice Department's dismissal of a voter-intimidation case despite video of a nightstick-wielding New Black Panther Party member at a Philadelphia polling place.

The e-mails show two political appointees' involvement in Justice's decision to dismiss, the watchdog group says. And, it notes, those e-mails contradict what Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general for Justice's Civil Rights Division, told the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights under oath: that decision involved "only career people."

The e-mails lend additional credence to the long-held suspicion that politics drove Justice's decision-making in this case. They also go a long way toward answering a key question: What is Attorney General Eric Holder hiding with his stonewalling against the commission's investigation?(continued)

We The People must ask the new House to investigate this scandal and investigate all the other corruption connected with this Regime. Gonna be a busy time starting in January.

That’s a good question.

Obama only spent the last month before the election cycle telling Latinos they need to vote against their enemies (i.e., White people) and blacks that a Republican Congress was somehow the equivalent of living as a runaway slave in the Antebellum era.

Wrt the Black Panther voting intimidation case in Phila, you have to wonder why there’s even a need for a trial in that case.

The modern version of Juvenal's “who will watch the watchers?” is “who will subpoena Eric Holder?”.

Might these be the scandals the Washington Insider mentioned coming out of Chicago? Not that I believe all he states but his “chats” have been interesting to follow.

Remember when the DOJ career guy first started talking after he resigned? In a FOX interview he misunderstood a question and said something like “oh, I’m not sure if (the black panther guy) actually visited the White House. The logs would have to be checked.” That could be how Obama gets touched with this. A guy with the same name just happened to visit the private residence a day or two before it was announced the case was being dismissed. That deep throat 2 (ha) guy said steps were being taken to protect Obama and I’m assuming the logs would be cleaned up. All conjecture but just putting a couple of things together.

The article doesn’t say what was in the emails.

It’s an almost useless article.

The Insider alluded to this particular bank when he first spoke of a brewing scandal involving zero and Jarrett.

Is it just me or does that guy in the foreground look like a total dork?

What is Attorney General Eric Holder hiding with his stonewalling against the commission's investigation?

Presumably he was just hoping to hold out until the President and Democrat congress appoints new members to the Commission and reverses the current Republican/conservative majority.

He wasn't counting on the turnover in Congress, and that he will now get a whole other set of subpoenas it will be more difficult to ignore. (Even though he was legally obligated to respond to the Commission on Civil Rights' subpoenas, it's not the same -- politically -- as subpoenas from Congress and its oversight committees.)
