Department of Justice Lies About New Black Panthers Case Dismissal

While I was off having fun on Hilton Head Island, proof surfaced that the Department of Justice (you know the one...where "a creeping lawlessness" lives unencumbered) lied, and lied significantly about the dismissal of the case of voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers.

New Black Panthers

After two New Black Panthers stood guard over possible wayward voters at a Philadelphia polling place - complete with a nightstick, and proof via a video, the men were indicted and charges were brought by the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, over their menacing and intimidating presence on the day of the 2008 presidential election.  After the two men refused to show up at Court - 5 times, the DOJ dismissed the charges. 

Senator Charles Grassley was outraged and began an investigation. One of the prime DOJ attorneys on the case quit in protest and another was transferred out of Washington D.C. The attorney who quit, J. Christian Adams, joined Pajamas Media, testified at a hearing under oath, and has been making his case on talk shows that racism is rampant within the Department of Justice.

On September 20th, Judicial Watch forced disclosure of DOJ documents. First up is info that Democratic election lawyer Sam Hirsch was involved in the dismissal. Odd that, because Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, Thomas Perez, "swore" in testimony that "no political leadership was involved in the outrageous dismissal.

The “Vaughn index” describes documents responsive to the lawsuit currently being withheld in their entirety by the Justice Department. The index details a series of emails between Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum and Deputy Associate Attorney General Sam Hirsch, who was described by Slate magazine as a “DC election lawyer who represents a lot of Democrats” prior to joining the Justice Department.

The index describes eight email exchanges between Rosenbaum and Hirsch, taking place on April 30, 2009, the day before the Justice Department reversed course and declined to pursue much of the Black Panther case. 

 Perez, according to Judicial Watch, under sworn testimony said the whole issue was just "a case of career people disagree with the career people."Uh...right! the Blacks in some kind of military garb, brandishing a billy club had nothing to do with revered voter rights.

“These documents show the Obama Justice Department’s decision to drop the Black Panther case was certainly political and potentially corrupt,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Black Panther decision is a scandal for the Obama administration and it merits serious attention by investigators. Assistant Attorney General Perez seems to have been less than candid in his sworn testimony when he said no political appointees were involved in the decision. This scandal has just gotten a whole lot worse for the Obama Justice Department.”

J. Christian Adams, the man who has claimed "a creeping lawlessness" in the DOJ, said when the news from Judicial Watch broke it was a "bad for for the Justice Department, but a worse day for country."

J. Christian Adams

If Congress ultimately suspects that they were lied to, they might scrutinize an undated entry: Karen Stevens is listed as an author of “talking points for the Attorney General regarding the DOJ’s handling of the NBPP litigation and the decision to drop charges.” She should get a subpoena from Congress next year also.

Similar entries evidencing the creation of an ultimately dishonest spin are throughout the log.

I would not be surprised if the log omitted documents. Inspector General Glenn Fine’s investigation of the Voting Section should include an inquiry into whether the Department is fully responsive to various requests from Congress, the press, and the Civil Rights Commission.

The log provided by DOJ to Judicial Watch contains numerous unidentified documents. The listing provides no information whatsoever about these documents, as the identity of both the authors and recipients are omitted. Congress might also demand to know what all the untitled, undated entries are in the log.

To understand how important this case is, Adams testified that he heard someone inside Justice state that this administration will no prosecute Black wrongdoers," for any kind of voter fraud or intimidation. For details on the Voter Intimidation case against The New Black Panthers, including testimony by an iconic Civil Rights activist, and the DOJ bias for Black Wrong-doers," begin here, and then see the list below. Thanks to Opus6 at American Perspective where I found this story.

Eric Holder MOVE Act Update: Still not Moving on Timely Ballots to the Troops

 Do you know that our troops apparently seldom get their election ballots in time to get their vote back to their precinct to be counted?  It has happened enough times that the Senate stepped in and passed the MOVE Act which requires every state to follow certain guidelines assuring that ballots be on their way to the Military 45 days before elections day. Are States planning to follow these guidelines - doesn't look like it. An "undue hardship" is the only way to opt out, but oh my, many are claiming they have such a hardship. Let me ask you, when we talk about our Military and the hardships they face, what possible qualifying hardship, other than a natural disaster that wipes out the precinct records, can be considered?

The Department of Justice, according to Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is allowing "waivers" to  certain states. I believe the Military and the American people deserve to know exactly what the hardship is- because after all, these elections roll around every two years.

Holder's Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich answered Cornyn today.

As of Wednesday afternoon [yesterday], 12 states had submitted waiver applications, Bob Carey, Federal Voting Assistance Program director told FoxNews.com through a spokeswoman.

The states are: Hawaii; New York; Delaware; Virgin Islands; Alaska; Washington; Maryland; Washington, D.C., Massachusetts; Wisconsin; Rhode Island and New Hampshire.

A Colorado secretary of state spokesman said Colorado also will be filing a waiver application by the end of the day.

Now let me ask again, how can a waiver be granted for anything less than a natural disaster? The DOD is the last word on approving or not approving the waivers - with the final decision made by August 29th. Will they lend a hand in this unsavory business? I can only guess and I don't like the first answer that comes to mind.

Cornyn's letter to Holder said "the statute does not create any discretion for the Executive Branch to decide whether or not to enforce its legal requirements." I say, name the hardship publicly. This is outrageous. Can we send these people to jail for voter fraud and intimidation - because that is what this is? Of all the many Zero Tolerance issues in this country, this is one that should apply.

Eric Holder Joe Arpaio: Eric Holder Threatens Lawsuit Gives Arpaio Deadline

Attorney General Eric Holder is threatening to sue Arizona's Maricopa Country Sheriff Joe Arpaio if requested documents are not turned over to the DOJ by August 17th.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Arpaio's attorney says the DOJ has picked the target, with no valid reason for doing so. In other words, they want to shutdown Arpaio's aggressive and effective protection of the people in his county, and so are now looking for a violation, rather than finding a violation and then going after it.

Robert Driscoll, a Washington lawyer representing Arpaio, said Justice Department lawyers "have picked the man and the department and are trying to find a violation, rather than find a violation and then seeking to vindicate someone's rights."

"They have been investigating for two years," said Driscoll, who added that most people assume it has something to do with racial profiling.

But Driscoll said, "If it was going on now, presumably they would have evidence of this now."

In a letter, assistant attorney general Thomas Perez, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division, said the sheriff's office is not turning over material that Perez's lawyers are requesting. Over a year ago, Arpaio's lawyers asked that the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility investigate alleged attorney misconduct regarding the investigation. In his letter to Arpaio's lawyers, Perez said such "unfounded allegations" are not a basis for refusing to cooperate with the Justice Department probe.

If you are not familiar with "The" Sheriff, watch this video of Arpaio talking about the modification of Arizona's SB1070, and how his department investigates lawbreakers, no matter their ethnicities. He also talks about the DOJ's 1-1/2 year investigation into his department. A pertinent part of this video comes at about 4:20 min-in.

Civil Rights Commission Urges Federal Probe into DOJ Black Panthers Case and Civil Rights Division

The U.S. Civil Rights Commission has urged a "federal probe" into the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissal of voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers, and the Department's Civil Rights Division. Liberals say the Commission "gamed the system," and is not bipartisan.

The Commission said "grave" testimony charged that the DOJ "will not pursue black defendants," and the charges against the New Black Panthers was "wrongly abandoned."

In a letter sent Wednesday to Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, the chairman of the bipartisan commission said testimony last week from an ex-Justice official raised "grave questions" about whether the division is "color blind" in its enforcement of the law. 

"This testimony raised serious concerns as to whether the Civil Rights Division's enforcement policies are being pursued in a race-neutral fashion and further calls into question the department's decision to change course in the New Black Panther Party litigation," Chairman Gerald Reynolds wrote...

...concern about the Justice Department's "intransigence" in providing witnesses to testify and urged the department to allow former voting section chief Christopher Coates to appear before the panel. 

MediaMatters' headline is "Meet the conservative U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In other words, they are not bipartisan, according to this Liberal hack site:

Media figures have emphasized the fact that the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is technically "bipartisan" to hype its investigation of the Justice Department's actions in the New Black Panther Party case. In reality, the commission's chair has acknowledged that conservatives "gam[ed] the system" and packed the panel with conservative activists, and the commission's two Democrats, as well as one Republican, have criticized the investigation.

If the testimony of J. Christian Adams, the lead attorney on the Black Panther voter intimidation case, does not show a need for investigation, what could? The question is, what now? The feds will investigate the feds in the Department of Justice? I can't wait to hear the next step.

DOJ Consulted NAACP on Black Panther Case: Direct Ties NAACP DOJ Black Panther Case

The DOJ Black Panther whistleblower, J. Christian Adams, was prompted to answer a critical question by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. The Commission General Counsel David Blackwood directly asked Adams if the DOJ was consulting with the NAACP on the dismissal of the Black Panther voter intimidation case. See a video below with the Memphis TEA party's Mark Skoda, saying the movement has asked the NAACP for videos or other proof showing racism, and offered to provide requested info to the NAACP. The NAACP ignored the request.

Mark Skoda - Memphis Tea Party

This is particularly pertinent because the NAACP has just voted on a "resolution" saying the TEA party movement is "racist." Once that news was out, brought to light because of Michelle Obama's keynote speech at the NAACP, the St. Louis, Missouri TEA party released their own, detailed resolution condemning the NAACP for their ironic racism.

Adams answered that his information was secondhand, and that he was told the NAACP was at the DOJ in March of 2009 asking when the case against the militants would be dismissed. Adams characterized this as "interesting," because there had never been any discussion of dismissing the case he was lead attorney on.

It was first reported here at the Washington Times that "Kristen Clarke, director of political participation at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in Washington, however, confirmed to The Times that she talked about the case with lawyers at the Justice Department and shared copies of the complaint with several persons. She said, however, her organization was 'not involved in the decision to dismiss the civil complaint.'"

Ms. Clarke testified to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights a few months back that that account was wrong. But J. Christian Adams, the main lawyer who built the case against the Black Panthers, contradicted her when he testified to the commission on July 6. 

Blackwood knew about Kristen Clarke's comment in The Washington Times, and also knew that Clarke denied it before his Commission. Watch

The NAACP is one of the most racist organizations to meet on this planet, ranking second to the current U.S. Department of Justice. In the video below you'll hear Mark Skoda, the Memphis TEA party founder and Hilary Shelton, the Washington  Bureau NAACP director, decide they will meet and try to work things out. Note that Shelton confined the charges of TEA Party racism to "fringe elements" of the movement. Undoubtedly, they are backpedalling. They have no proof, and especially in the face of Skoda saying they have asked for NAACP videos showing TEA Party racism and received nothing.

Brad Sherman (D-CA-27th) and a constituent telling Sherman she is concerned about the DOJ and the NBPP. Sherman bring on the shame and doesn't know a  thing, bless his heart, about a Black Panther case, and he is certain the DOJ plans to prosecute any Blacks he finds intimidating voters.

J Christian Adams Testifies Against DOJ in New Black Panther Voter Intimidation

J. Christian Adams is a former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney. He resigned in May 2010 due to the DOJ's refusal to follow through with a case of clear voter intimidation in Philadelphia in the November 2008 presidential elections. Attorneys on the case, including J. Christian Adams, were told to dismiss the case, even though a default judgment was handed down. DOJ stated in Adams' presence they would not prosecute Black wrongdoers for any kind of voter fraud or intimidation. There was no plan to not prosecute Whites for doing the same. This was all about race. Now Adams has taken it to the U.S. Human Rights Commission. What can they do against the DOJ, on behalf of the American people?

King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson - New Black Panther Party

While Adams was still at the DOJ, Congress subpoenaed records, and the attorneys working on the case before it was dropped. DOJ denied every subpoena and refused to let any of the attorneys honor the subpoenaes.

At some point, before Adams resigned, he was told that Motor Voter laws would also not be honored. In other words, DOJ had no interest in requiring the names of dead persons to be removed from voter registrations, or duplicate names, or people who had moved out of the district. According to Adams, there was also conversation stating that Blacks had already suffered too much.

Now resigned, Adams is talking and fearlessly naming names. This week he testified before the U.S. Human Rights Commission. The question is, is the Commission strong enough to stand-up to the Black man's Department of Justice.

Adams' superior at Justice, Chris Coates, was so disgusted with the actions of the Department he voice it loudly (see the last video below). DOJ silenced him by transferring him to South Carolina and relieved him of his title of Chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ.

In the photo above, there is testimony that the tall man, Jerry Jackson, hassled citizens trying to get inside the polling place to vote. Jackson, along with being a New Black Panther member is an elected member of Philadelphia's 14th Ward Democratic Committee. Jackson still hold that privileged position.

The shorter man with the nightstick, King Samir Shabazz, is quoted below - read it as found on the web here - with links to the New Black Panther Party and ACORN. Here's the text for the following graphic:

i has waited all my life for the day that Strong Black men could stand outside a voting poll in a Honk neighborhood and beat republiKKKan voters with a baseball bat to keep the motherfu**ers from voting for they racist candidate and walk away scott free and be a hero in the black community,,,,,,,,,,and that day finally here.

it time we up the ante on these white motherf  u**ers and take it to the next level

Samir Shabazz is the head of the Philly chapter of the New Black Panther Party.

Shabazz brandished a nightstick. He "pointed the weapon at individuals, menacingly tapped it [in] his other hand, or menacingly tapped it elsewhere." Both Shabazz and Jackson leveled "racial threats and racial insults at both black and white individuals," and they "made menacing and intimidating gestures, statements, and movements directed at individuals who were present to aid voters."

King Samir Shabazz Yelling to Kill White Crackers and Cracker Babies (video)

Three NBPP members were indicted and blew off court dates for five months - just simply didn't reply, didn't show up - nothing. You know what would happen if you or I had treated any court in that manner.

We need to be mindful that this session with the U.S. Human Rights Commission is not the first time it has convened about this case. In February 2009, the USHRC held its first meeting. DOJ simply ignored them. USHRC had witnesses. It didn't matter.

This one is one we must watch and must encourage those who have the power to fight this outrage for us, to do it, because every future election can be affected. I don't think it gets any more serious than this. Visit ChicagoRay and watch a video of New Black Panthers "visiting" a neighborhood to intimidate a man who killed two burglars. These Americans did not stand by let the NBPP have their streets.

Megyn Kelly Christian Adams: DOJ Bias for Black Wrong-doers: No Charges Against Blacks with White Victim

Megyn Kelly today aired the second portion of an interview with J. Christian Adams, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney. Adams says a mandate within the DOJ requires no charges will be made against blacks with a white victim accuses them of  voter intimidation. The DOJ's answer to Adams' charges is simply that Adams is a Conservative. When does voter intimidation hinge on a political persuasion?

Megyn Kelly - America Live

You'll remember that the New Black Panthers stood outside a Philadelphia polling place in November 2008, one with a nightstick. A poll minder who served as Robert Kennedy's campaign aide was there and says there was definitely intimidation going on, and others said the same. From Adam's resignation letter, we learn that these men threatened the attorneys inside DOJ.

King Samir Shabazz (above and below with nightstick)

Adams resigned his position after a DOJ Civil Rights Division head instructed the attorneys on the case to dismiss it, even though a default judgement had been brought. Evidence was strong against the New Black Panther Party members. For five months they refused to answer the court or show up for court, thus the default judgement.

Rep. Frank Wolf tried (R-VA) tried to refile the case. He was denied the opportunity to interview the lead attorneys. Subpoenas were let, one for J. Christian Adams, and the DOJ refused to let him honor it. In Adams resignation letter he noted that he was forced to ignore lawful subpoenas:

...the subpoena is based on an explicit federal statute and seeks answers about why the case was dismissed. I have incurred significant personal expense in retaining a number of separate attorneys and firms regarding this subpoena in order to protect my interests and advise me about my personal legal obligations to comply with the subpoena.  

The following is also in his letter of resignation:

As you also know, the defendants in the New Black Panther lawsuit have become increasingly belligerent in their rhetoric toward the attorneys who brought the case...

 King Samir Shabazz (L) and Jerry Jackson (R)

So DOJ attorneys were threatened by the New Black Panthers and the answer from the DOJ was, hey we're not prosecuting any blacks for any voter intimidation crimes against whites.

Here's some information about the men accused:

Malik Zulu Shabazz is a Howard University Law School grad and a resident of Washington, D.C. Jerry Jackson is credentialed to be at a the polling place as he is a 14th Ward Democratic Committee member. "Minister" King Samir Shabazz says he is "about the total destruction of white people." Attorney Eric Holder is doing his part to help his brother. Is it too far out to believe they are serious in the intensity of whites? I don't think so, and now the government we put in place has their back.

For the record, Christian Adams says there is a "creeping lawlessness" inside the Department of Justice.

J Christian Adams DOJ Atty Quits Over New Black Panther Dismissal

In an incident that rocked the foundation of America's voting system, the New Black Panthers stood in front of a Philadelphia polling place and threatened and intimidated voters in the November 2008 elections. The DOJ took the case to court and won a default judgment against the three men when they refused to show at court for five months. Then the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ got involved and attorneys were told to dismiss the case. Rep. Frank Wolfe was prevented from interviewing the trial team. "This whole thing stinks to high heaven," said Wolfe. Now a DOJ trial attorney has resigned over the dismissal, we learned that in May, but now he has made some very provocative accusations. See a video below.

New Black Panthers

Look at this quote:

Most disturbing, the dismissal is part of a creeping lawlessness infusing our government institutions. Citizens would be shocked to learn about the open and pervasive hostility within the Justice Department to bringing civil rights cases against nonwhite defendants on behalf of white victims....Open contempt is voice for these types of cases. ~ J. Christian Adams

 J. Christian Adams is a hero in my books. We know this is happening, but of course, we could not prove it. I hope we do not forget this man and this inside information in the coming months. I thank God for him and would put money on others inside the Obama administration feeling the same way.

From The Washington Times via Velvet Hammer on Twitter and Velvet Hammer Blog where you can see Eric Holder testifying before the Senate Judiciary committee - testimony which reveals only some groups are protected by American Justice.

These are the main points of Mr. Adams piece in the Washington Times. You can read the entire article at one of the links above:

According to Adams:

1) The dismissal of the Black Panther case "was motivated by a lawless hostility toward equal enforcement of the law." 


2) Some in the Department "abetted wrongdoers and abandoned law-abiding citizens victimized by the New black Panthers.

3) Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Tom Perez "inaccurately" testified to the House Judiciary Committee

4) "Most corrupt of all, the lawyers who ordered the dismissal - Loretta King, the Obama-appointed acting head of the Civil Rights Division, and Steve Rosenbaum....

5) Some inside Justice say this is an isolated incident, but other similar cases happened at polling places in Philadelphia, including one targeting Hillary Rodham Clinton. Adams says "the law clearly prohibits even isolated incidents of voter intimidation.

6) The evidence shows that voters were affected by intimidation, but even if it didn't, the law demands punishment of "an attempt."

7) Some co-workers argued the law should not be used against black wrongdoers because of the long history of slavery and segregation. "Some called it payback time."

Note that Mr. Bartle Bull, a longtime civil rights activist and former aide to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign gave a sworn statement dated April 7 that he was serving in November as a credentialed poll watcher in Philadelphia when he saw the three uniformed Panthers confront and intimidate voters with a nightstick. Mr. Bull's testimony was not considered and he was not contacted by the Department of Justice.

"In my opinion, the men created an intimidating presence at the entrance to a poll," he declared. "In all my experience in politics, in civil rights litigation and in my efforts in the 1960s to secure the right to vote in Mississippi ... I have never encountered or heard of another instance in the United States where armed and uniformed men blocked the entrance to a polling location." ~ Bartle Bull

Judge Martin Feldman Receives Death Threats After Banning Drilling Moratorium

In a move that a New Orleans publication is calling "bold," - presumably for standing up to Eric Holder, the Judge who overturned Obama's moratorium on Gulf drilling, is receiving death threats. Judge Martin Feldman is now accompanied by a federal marshal security team.

Judge Martin Feldman

After Feldman's initial decision came down, the government asked for a "stay" of the decision until they can get their case through the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Feldman refused the "stay."

The Judge noted that just because the BP well was beset with problems and resulted in a massive oil spill, there is no reason to believe other wells would have similar problems. "If some drilling equipment parts are flawed, is it rational to say all are? Are all airplanes a danger because one was? All oil tankers like Exxon Valdez? All trains? All mines? That sort of thinking seems heavy-handed, and rather overbearing,” Feldman wrote.

While the Judge said  there was no "rational connection between the facts found and the choice made," distractors questioned Feldman's integrity. At one time he held stock in Transocean and Halliburton. According to Bayoubuzz News, he owned those stocks in 2008 and sold them long before issuing the ruling.

The 5th District Court uses a sophisticated computer system to check whether judges have a conflict of interest in any legal proceeding. This system automatically determines whether a judge needs to be recused from a particular case. In this lawsuit, Feldman was allowed to take the case because he did not own any stock related to the parties involved.

To the dismay of coastal residents, overwhelmed with the BP oil spill, Obama's moratorium on drilling has further threatened any chance of a livelihood in the area:

I think he's lost his mind. If they shut down the oil fields, I might as well shut down," said Joan Strohmeyer, who owns a hotel in Venice, Louisiana.

Before the moratorium, Obama instructed Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to convene a panel of experts to determine what needed to be done now to further protect the Gulf area. After the panel signed off on the final report, Salazar and Obama changed the report, indicating the panel agreed with to a moratorium. In fact, they did just the opposite and a Berkley professor (yes, Berkley!) called Salazar on it, who then admitted he AND Obama changed the report to suit their preference for a moratorium:

If anyone should be questioned, it is the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar who disregarded the advice of his own scientific experts in declaring the deep water drilling moratorium. In the wake of the Judge’s ruling, Salazar said he would issue a “refined” moratorium, ask for a stay of the ruling and appeal the decision. Some legal experts predicted the preliminary injunction would lead the government to compromise on the moratorium. In fact, Salazar decided to be confrontational instead of working with business interests in Louisiana to find common ground.

The lawsuit was brought against the U.S. Department of the Interior by "more than a dozen companies involved in offshore drilling operations.

Obama Answers Arizona's Plea for Illegal Alien Help with a Lawsuit - See ya in Court!

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer finally met with President Obama two weeks ago about the intolerable incursion of illegal aliens into her state, and to discuss Arizona's new Immigration Law. He promised a response  within two weeks. Today she got the message.  He will sue Arizona, and cost the good citizens of this beautiful desert state multiple thousands of dollars to defend their sovereignty against his regime.

Here is the Governor's announcement of the lawsuit and how she found out her state is now a defendant.

Governor Jan Brewer Obama Administration has decided to sue AZ and we had to learn about it through Ecuadorean TV. Outrageous!

Just a side note, Hillary announced this dirty deed. She apparently has no problem with dealing a severe and costly blow to State's rights. Hillary supporters, what say you?

The meeting with Obama came only after weeks of total silence - no replies to her letters or phone calls, but he was on television everyday blasting the voters in Arizona for their decision to chuck his illegal voting base. Just total abject, in your face disrespect, with Arizona facing Government-induced life and death situations in her state by the minute.

Obama promised an answer to her pleas for help. Inundated with illegals bringing their drugs, their rapists, their murderers, and selling children and young women into sex-slave-rings, right under the nose of the citizens, and his response is, he will sue her for protecting U.S. citizens, including you and I when we visit.

“The ACLU, SEIU and the Muslim American Society are calling the shots at the Justice Department.  The ‘draft complaint’ DOJ has prepared to challenge the Arizona law is a ‘cut & paste’ version of the class-action lawsuit the ACLU filed in United States District Court on May 17^th. 

No other conclusion could be reached unless Holder releases the Department’s ‘draft complaint.’ But when it becomes public, all of America will know what I know today. The ACLU and their radical affiliates are dictating the policy of the White House and the Department of Justice.” 

Thumbs up in gratitude to Rep. King for speaking out.

Joe Lieberman Susan Collins Subpoenas Eric Holder, Robert Gates

Senators Joe Leiberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) issued subpoenas to Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. This is a "whoa!" moment, friends. Lieberman and Collins and others on the Senate Homeland Security Committee are fed up with their requests for information on the Fort Hood massacres being shoved somewhere among all the opulence of the Department of Justice, where if Holder has his way, it will never see the light of day.

Department of Justice

Lieberman and Collins want Major Nidal Hassan's personnel records, and specifically those categorized as "For Official Use Only." Not an extraordinary request unless those in possession of the personnel files want to keep Islamic terrorism underwraps. Afterall, the Muslim soldier gunned down 14, including one unborn child, while shouting allahu akhbar.

Pentagon officials are reviewing the subpoena before determining their next step, spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters Monday.

The Defense Department, he said, believes that it has responded to requests from Congress, "in keeping with the need to protect the integrity of the criminal prosecution and longstanding privacy practice.

The White House has not referred the killings an act of terror. In late February 2010, however, five-plus months after the shootings, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano finally went on the record and called it what it was: "violent Islamic terrorism....", but that was about the end of it. Now we have a ban on using the words Islamic terrorists, Islamic terrorism, and Obama

When the Pentagon report on the massacre came out, it failed to mention 'Islamic Terrorism' as the motivation for the killings:

[Lieberman] I was startled and really upset that in the whole report that Secretary [Togo] West and Adm. [Vern] Clark did on this Ft. Hood massacre, they never used ther tems radical Islamist extremism or violent Islamic terrorism."

The Homeland Security Committee wants to know who Hasan's superiors were, and what they knew about Hasan's radical beliefs. Rep. John Carter (R-TX) represents Texas' 31st Congressional District which includes Fort Hood. Carter said the Pentagon report was "sanitized."

People are afraid to speak out and label someone because they'll be accused of being a racist or accused of profiling or being prejudiced against a certain religion or race of people," Carter told Politico. "But in a time of national crisis, which I believe we are in, all identifiers must be be discussed.

How sad is it that the first subpoenas of the Obama administration are delivered to the U.S. Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense?

Eric Holder: Hundreds of Terrorists Imprisoned by Federal Courts: Guess Not!

It all depends on what the meaning of "Terrorist" is. Remember Attorney General Eric Holder claiming the Feds had imprisoned "hundreds" of terrorists through civilian court trials? Apparently not. The press release came late on Friday as everyone exited Washington, D.C. for Easter break (or "time off" for non-believers).

Eric Holder

First, this summation from Andy McCarthy demonstrating just how deep the perversion and deceit in the Department of Justice goes:

The problem is not simply that Justice's numbers are bogus, just like Dana Perino, Bill Burck, I, and others said they were. It is that Justice's purpose is fraudulent.

Andy McCarthy at NRO's The Corner: (emphasis mine)

Finally today, after months of delay, DOJ officials released what they claim is the back-up for Attorney General Holder's oft-repeated and outlandish claim that there are "hundreds" of convicted "terrorists" incarcerated in federal prisons, which "fact" supposedly shows that civilian justice processes are our best method of trying, convicting and securely detaining terrorists.

The Friday data dump is a joke. No wonder they waited til everyone was headed out of town to dump it.

An honest disclosure would have said, "OK, you got us. There are not hundreds of convicted terrorists in custody. That was an exaggeration. The critics were right when they said we were rigging the numbers and inflating our count with hundreds of cases that did not involve terrorism convictions — as well as other cases which, while colorably related to terrorism, are not in the same league as cases involving alien enemy combatants like the 9/11 plotters." 

But that's not what Justice did. Instead, it leaked its disclosure to friendly media (see, e.g., here) which dutifully spun the story to say Justice was "calling the bluff" of its critics. Plainly, Holder & Co. are trying to shape the narrative before anyone actually reads the underlying data. (After watching the media's shoddy coverage last week of the CBO report on Obamacare, who could blame them for figuring they'd get away with it?)

But the claim that there are 403 terrorists in custody is absurd. DOJ arrives at this figure by counting what it describes as two categories of case. The first involves real terrorism charges. Sounds fair enough, but what types of "terrorism charges" are they counting? Well they include, for example, convictions under statutes barring "Animal Enterprise Terrorism," "Narco-terrorism," "crimes against internationally protected persons" (which can be terrorism-related but are not necessarily), hostage-taking (ditto), and offenses like harboring terrorists and material support to terrorism (which are surely terrorism-related, and involve assistance provided to terrorists, but are charges generally brought against facilitators, not actual terrorists).
