Shortly after the election of Barack Hussein Obama, Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King announced the Department of Justice would not prosecute 3 New Black Panthers for Election Day voter intimidation. The outrage of DOJ attorneys who had filed the original complaint later increased when the Department ordered them to not cooperate with an investigation launched by the Civil Rights Commission.
At the same time, the Obama Administration insisted that politics played no part in the Justice Department’s decision to drop the charges. In fact, the Department claimed it was career officials, rather than political appointees, who made the final call.
But in 2010, Larry Klayman’s Judicial Watch produced emails acquired pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit that clearly revealed “…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.”
On May 10th of 2009, Associate Attorney General and Obama appointee Thomas Perrelli emailed DOJ colleague and former Democrat election lawyer Sam Hirsch, asking “Where are we on the Black Panther case?” The email included the “current thoughts on the case” of another Obama appointee, Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, 2nd in command at the DOJ.
Just 2 days later, King—also one of Obama’s DOJ appointees—issued an email to Perrelli and Ogden that included “an update on a planned course of action in the NBPP (New Black Panther Party) litigation.” Judicial Watch shows that this email “was distributed to Attorney General Eric Holder” himself.
In 2010, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez testified before the Civil Rights Commission. In response to questions about possible political motivation in dropping the New Black Panther prosecution, Perez stated “the decisions were made by Loretta King in consultation with Steve Rosenbaum,” later suggesting that dropping the case was simply a matter of “…career people disagreeing with career people.”
Prior to filing the lawsuit that forced the release of these emails, the DOJ had told Judicial Watch that the Department could find no records concerning David Perrelli’s “meetings with the White House on the Justice Department’s voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers.” Yet even the national media had reported “at least 9 meetings between Perrilli and White House officials…regarding the Black Panther case.”
And just yesterday, a federal judge finally agreed that political appointees of Barack Obama did indeed interfere with the Black Panther prosecution. His decision came as a result of the Justice Department’s claim that it owed no attorney’s fees and court costs to Judicial watch for its FOIA related suits because “…none of the records produced in [the] litigation evidenced any political interference whatsoever” by the Department. But Judge Reggie Walton disagreed, writing in his decision that “…the documents reveal that political appointees within DOJ were conferring about the status and resolution of the New Black Panther Party case in the days preceding the DOJ’s dismissal of claims in that case…”
Three years and countless legal fees have finally proven what the American people have known from the beginning—that the Regime is filled with liars who refuse to prosecute “Holder’s people.” Isn’t the DC legal system grand?!

What’s knew? Holder’s DOJ obstructed justice against the ‘criminal’ New Black Panthers Party. The evidence shows that they are guilty of intimdating and keeping some voters from voting in 2008 in Philadelphia, PA. I always thought that it’s a crime to interfere with anyone’s right to vote. But, the obozo administration and Erick withHolder doesn’t seem to think so. They only go after their political opponents or critics. They don’t believe in “equal protection of the law.” See website: http://www.haasstrep68
It’s soon gonna be the law in this country is who has the biggest and most guns
There is enough evidence to bring impeachment charges against the new Hitler and his henchman, E. The Hold(card)er ! This is outright tyranny, where is the outrage? This current communist regime is leaving no other recourse to the citizens but a call to arms!
Holder needs to go to jail
The less than honorable, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr; should have a few new placards made with the following words. “If you are black, and if you commit a crime, no worries, I have your back”. Another one could read “If your are white and commit a crime, involved with a black,(even if as in the Trevon Martin case, they initiated the crime) you better have set aside some time, to pay for the crime”.
Question, does anyone know what happened to the Assistant Attorney General David Ogden? He seemed to vanish, could it be because he knew too much about the failed operation “Fast and Furious”? Google David Ogden March 24, 2009 and you will understand why I asked the question. Sadly enough I probably also know that answer, dead men tell no tales.
And here we have it folks…….The DNC is now holding court in the NEW black panther Stadium…..what a bunch of putzes.
NEVER ENDS DOES IT…………SO WHAT’S NEXT, IMPEACH OBAMA & HOLDER, PELOSI, REID?
The Executive Branch: Utterly Corrupt. The Judiciary: Corrupt. The Legislative Branch: Utterly Corrupt. The Dep’t of Justice: utterly Corrupt. Federal Judges: Corrupt. Courts of Appeal: Owned by the Left. Our electoral process: owned by the Left and wholly Corrupt. Too many State Governments: on board with the Corrupt Feds. Too many local governmental units and police agencies: on board with Leftist politics and utterly Corrupt.
The US military: Left Leaning, Corrupt and willing to begin opening fire on the citizenry. And let’s not forget the suffocating spying the Feds are already employing against John Q Public and the worsening raids by TSA and every SWAT-like police unit in the country.
We are not faced with the advent of a police state, we live in one. There are still a few voices in the wilderness crying out unheard, but the Perfect Storm of Communism is set to crush America in about the third week of October.
We have two chances. One, the favorable intervention of Almighty God should it fall within His Master Plan. Two: the intervention of the Corrupt Congress on behalf of aforementioned John Q Public.
I think we’re screwed.
This is what we get for failing to investigate and impeach Obama.
The RINOs refusal to do so makes them as guilty as the Comintern mole himself.
There is so much corrption in DC Gov. plus state, city, county, police, some military, some of congress. This Keystone pipeline & Voter pictureID, Black Panther crimes All this proves the corruption in the current ADM. The Adm. includes many Communist, Marxist & Socialists who wish destruction of this Country. People have a choice this Election. Freedom or Slavery.
Here in Texas we got rid of two of the rinos. Corrupt Dewhearst Lt. governer. Didn`t make the senate. To many lies and negative ads did him in. And do nothing Wentworth gone after 21 years sucking on the tax payers. Very poor loser and and mean sprited to boot.
Thank you Jesus. This must be a new trend – finding a court to side AGAINST the BO regime.
This is not the first time I have heard of large numbers of dark complected men, the politically correct term for Black Men, showing up at voting poles or meetings dressed in solid black with red berets and claiming to Black Panthers. If white men showed up in white outfits the media would be crazed with articles of KKK resurgence, but for black clad dark complection and red berets, there is not a word in any newspaper or on the transmitted media. Chuck Schumer and his crowd say we don’t need 100-Rounds to hunt Ducks, well, it isn’t ducks using methods of intimidation and it is strange how the police never show up until after the fact.
