Holder Explains Letting New Black Panthers Skate: "

Finally, Eric Holder explains why his Injustice Department dropped a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers that had already been won:

Asked about the prospect of oversight hearings and subpoenas involving the New Black Panther case, Mr. Holder said, 'there is no 'there' there.'

'The notion that this made-up controversy leads to a belief that this Justice Department is not color-blind in enforcement of civil rights laws is simply not supported by the facts,' he said.

Unfortunately for Holder and friends, the 'made-up controversy' was caught on video:

Here's NBPP head maniac Malik Shabazz, apparently following a highly productive personal meeting with Obama, acknowledging that Holder threw out the case on racial grounds:

Confirmation that squashing the New Black Panther case was all about race:

Not only does Todd Gaziano (Congressional appointee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights) claim that the 2008 Election Day voter intimidation charge against the Philadelphia New Black Panther Party was 'open and shut,' but that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes ordered, 'Never bring another lawsuit against a black or other national minority, apparently no matter what they do.'

Here's what former Justice Department official J. Christian Adams has to say about the 'made-up controversy':

On the day President Obama was elected, armed men wearing the black berets and jackboots of the New Black Panther Party were stationed at the entrance to a polling place in Philadelphia. They brandished a weapon and intimidated voters and poll watchers. After the election, the Justice Department brought a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and those armed thugs. I and other Justice attorneys diligently pursued the case and obtained an entry of default after the defendants ignored the charges. Before a final judgment could be entered in May 2009, our superiors ordered us to dismiss the case.

The New Black Panther case was the simplest and most obvious violation of federal law I saw in my Justice Department career. Because of the corrupt nature of the dismissal, statements falsely characterizing the case and, most of all, indefensible orders for the career attorneys not to comply with lawful subpoenas investigating the dismissal, this month I resigned my position as a Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney.

If the new Republican Congress has the backbone to launch aggressive investigations into Holder and the rest of the militant leftists comprising the Obama Administration for gross misfeasance, there will definitely be a 'there' there.
