A series of major new developments threaten to expose the full extent of the Obama administration’s role in dismissing charges against the New Black Panther Party, an investigation that could reveal obstruction of justice and perjury.
Most significantly, Christopher Coates, who was head of the Justice Department’s Voting Rights section at the time and suggested the case proceed, will testify before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Coates has been named as one career DoJ official who could verify J. Christian Adams’ claims that the Obama administration pressured lawyers to dismiss this case and all charges brought against minority groups.
Coates stated he will act “to comply with the outstanding subpoena served on me as part of [the Commission's] statutory investigation.”
The Commission called Coates to testify, but his superiors at the Department of Justice instructed Coates not to comply. Joseph H. Hunt specifically ordered him to ignore the subpoena. The DoJ also busted Coates down from his position as Voting Rights chief to a satellite office in South Carolina, on an 18-month assignment that conveniently prevented him from testifying.
In an understatement, the Commission said there has been a “dearth of cooperation” by the administration. Ironically, the Justice Department is suing Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for not cooperating with a suit it brought against him.
The Black Panther case is quickly spinning out of control, threatening to expose the Obama administration’s role in perjury, obstruction of justice, and aiding voter intimidation that may lead directly to the office of the president.
Documents obtained by the legal watchdog group Judicial Watch this week revealed longtime Democratic Party lawyer Sam Hirsch, a political appointee, influenced Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum to drop the charges.
Today’s Washington Times adds the decision to drop the charges followed a meeting between a career official and Associate AG Thomas Perrelli, “the department’s No. 3 political appointee.”
However, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Thomas Perez testified under oath before the Civil Rights commission on May 14 that the decision was simply “a case of career [Justice Department] people disagreeing with career people.” He testified there had been no “political leadership involved in the decision not to pursue this particular case.”
The documents, known as the Vaughan Index, show Hirsch sent 58 e-mails about the case, including eight exchanges with Rosenbaum the day before the charges were dropped.
Officials must now investigate whether Perez committed perjury.
The voter intimidation charge is not the only amnesty being granted to the Black Panthers. Mike Roman at BigGovernment.com noted the two of the three Panthers charged — King Samir and Jerry Jackson — have a decades-long history of violence that includes “assault, robbery, domestic violence, and drug dealing.” Samir was accused of beating a man with a cane, similar to the weapon he wielded in the voter intimidation case. (Liberals have argued the duo did not actually threaten anyone, although that’s not how the voters felt.) Jackson has at least two first-degree felony convictions. Yet the pair have posed with guns, possession of which is itself a felony for ex-convicts. Roman asks, “Is [Jackson] getting a pass on gun charges too?”
This adds verification to charges the DoJ has decided not to pursue any charges against minority groups, which Obama regards as a vital part of his electoral coalition. For instance, 96 percent of blacks and 67 percent of Hispanics voted for Barack Obama in 2008, and 70 percent of convicted felons vote Democratic. The policy is apparently the community-organizer-in-chief’s constituent services by other means.
As Coates prepares to testify, the Vaughan Index reveals apparent perjury, and journalists find the Justice Department is granting the Panthers multiple amnesties, Justice Watch has opened yet another front in the case, demanding all records of the role Thomas Perrelli played in dismissing the charges, noting Perrelli reportedly “visited the White House on nine occasions…to discuss Defendant’s voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party.” The DoJ replied it found “no records” on the matter. Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president, ripped the administration’s stonewalling last night, saying:
Why should anyone believe the Justice Department’s story regarding these records? We now know Justice officials falsely stated that no political appointees were involved in the Black Panther decision. The Justice Department continues to withhold hundreds of pages of records that could shed light on this scandal. And despite multiple press reports documenting Perrelli’s White House meetings, the Justice Department cannot find a single record related to these meetings. We’re tired of getting the run-around and that’s why we sued.
The documents could show Perez committed perjury, ignoring the role of both Perrelli and Hirsch.
If Perez is guilty of perjury, Republicans must investigate how far up the chain of command this decision went.
J. Christian Adams has stated the verdict to drop all charges against the Panthers goes at least as high as Attorney General Eric Holder. But Holder is anything but a lone gun.
Did the president of the United States conspire to obstruct justice against the New Black Panther Party? Did the president suborn perjury in service of that goal? If so, that is an impeachable offense.
Let the testimony begin.

Rev.Germy Wright(wrong),Black Liberation Theology,black panther party,Louie Farrakan,Nation of Islam,congressional black cacas,hussein oblahma,and nearly any other black organization you care to name,all come from the same mold.They are either secretly or openly Mooslum,or that's who they "will stand with should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." There purpose is to conquer America from within.Ever wonder why you could probably count on one hand the number of blacks who denounce Islam for the un-Godly religion that it is? It's all about black power.As Germy Wright would say,"to hell with America."
how long are we going to put up with this corrupt government. all incumbents must go!! how about the PLEDGE TO AMERICA,,,,,,,,,,,,what a joke. ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT DUMMED DOWN. PRAISE GOD AND PASS THE AMMO
With all this evidence, along with all the rest, it's got to be time for the end of politicians and others turning their backs and giving 2nd or 3rd or even more "chances". It's time for the TRUE AMERICANS to demand this mess cleaned up and open up Alcatraz again. Give the prisioners some seed to grow their food and they won't be leaving or getting away with the huge population of Great Whites there. We could send the whole bunch there and give them life inprisionment. The prison is large enough and from what I've seen on TV, the spirits there will enjoy the company. Just imagine it all. No cell phones, no TV, no gormet food delivered to them, no paychecks, no luxuries to benefit their rotten life styles. And just think, the ACLU could never find them.
I't time for OUR COUNTRY to take back our Delaration of Independance, our Bill of Rights and our Constitution, that everyone nowdays seems to think it's something to wipe their feet on or wipe their fat behids on.
I hope God is watching and is tired of all this B.S. Maybe our prayers will be answered afterall. I HOPE!!!
The Black Panthers will love it there too.
God Bless America ! Even as much as America has slid down hill throughout the yrs. we are still a nation of free people who decide for themselves who will represent them in public office . But for a President to order a criminal case be dismissed goes beyond what Nixon ever did . Obama must be Impeached along with Hillary Clinton and the rest of Obama's cronies who do his bidding to obstruct American Justice . Barrack H. Obama is not an American who loves this country ,but a Muslim who is out to destroy this country by any means possible as elected President of the United States of America !
We are a Christian Nation and for Pres. Obama to deny to the world that we are no longer a Christian Nation goes beyond his boundaries as President . To never salute our Flag during the National Anthem
who my friends ,brothers and sisters died for keeping our Nation free is to me a Impeachable offence of the highest form . I hope and pray that God is watching as Obama and his cronies rot in prison for obstructing justice and for high crimes an misdemeanors as well as Treason !
Hello,
Less see what Eric-(SO NO EVIL)-Holder has to say about when this man testifies to the commission, or is it like they want—No< No, No, only white people can be racist right? Only white people are so bad that they do not allow the Black man, or women to have there rights to vote. The people that have done all of this evil have made a mockery out of all the voters rights things that have been won for minoriyes in this nation, and they have set them back at least for the last one hundred years. The ones that have been seen in the video to be doing wrong should be put in federal prison for the rest of ther3e life's.
I guess this means hope and change has a new meaning. Hope we don't get caught as we change this.
