A federal court in Washington, DC, held last week that political appointees appointed by President Obama did interfere with the Department of Justices prosecution of the New Black Panther Party.
The ruling came as part of a motion by the conservative legal watch dog group Judicial Watch, who had sued the DOJ in federal court to enforce a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining to the the New Black Panthers case. Judicial Watch had secured many previously unavailable documents through their suit against DOJ and were now suing for attorneys fees.
Obamas DOJ had claimed Judicial Watch was not entitled to attorneys fees since none of the records produced in this litigation evidenced any political interference whatsoever in how the DOJ handled the New Black Panther Party case. But United States District Court Judge Reggie Walton disagreed. Citing a series of emails between Obama political appointees and career Justice lawyers, Walton writes:
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 DOJs dismissal of claims in that case, which would appear to contradict Assistant Attorney General Perezs testimony that political leadership was not involved in that decision. Surely the public has an interest in documents that cast doubt on the accuracy of government officials representations regarding the possible politicization of agency decision-making.
In sum, the Court concludes that three of the four fee entitlement factors weigh in favor of awarding fees to Judicial Watch. Therefore, Judicial Watch is both eligible and entitled to fees and costs, and the Court must now consider the reasonableness of Judicial Watchs requested award.
The New Black Panthers case stems from a Election Day 2008 incident where two members of the New Black Panther Party were filmed outside a polling place intimidating voters and poll watchers by brandishing a billy club. Justice Department lawyers investigated the case, filed charges, and when the Panthers failed to respond, a federal court in Philadelphia entered a default against all the Panthers defendants. But after Obama was sworn in, the Justice Department reversed course, dismissed charges against three of the defendants, and let the fourth off with a narrowly tailored restraining order.
The Courts decision is another piece of evidence showing the Obama Justice Department is run by individuals who have a problem telling the truth, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. The decision shows that we cant trust the Obama Justice Department to fairly administer our nations voting and election laws.
You won't find one dog face liberal commenting on this. All you will get is the response "all 5 of them?" They'll piss down your leg and tell you it's raining too.
This again was the incident that the local officials didn't consider serious enough to prosecute.
The NBPP members were in front of that polling place for all of ten minutes before the cops ran them off.
But we do have that wonderful clip they play on Fox news of a couple of scary black men. So I guess it's a big deal or something.

DOJ would have prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if they had been white.
So that's it? JW proves a cover-up and no one is being held accountable?
Or is this not over yet?

With an election coming up, it is time for conservatives to ramp up their fear the black man rhetoric
Guess Willie Horton is busy

Yes, because so many conservatives said in 2008 'He doesn't look like the other Presidents on the dollars' and 'did we mention, he's black?'
He's no surrogate. He IS the angry black man.
Obstruction of justice against voters by people in the DOJ is a red flag, rightwinger. Stop spinning another loophole to disguise this crime.Four years and conservatives still have nothing on an insignificant incident. So bad you have to resurrect with a post that DOJ made phone calls for a status update
Some coverup

If you don't, you're no different from the cop wearing a badge that did guard time while the KKK strung up some hapless black fellow for crossing the street after his 6 pm curfew.

I also have pictures of scarey Democrat white men stringing up hapless black men and a disgust for both types of armed and lethal threats.Obstruction of justice against voters by people in the DOJ is a red flag, rightwinger.

You have yet to prove any crime was committed. Nor have you demonstrated a coverup of a non-crime.
But you do have pictures of scary black men
