Well Well, the other shoe finally dropped......

Y'all recall of course, when the Department of (so-called) Justice dropped all charges against the Black Panthers with the night sticks in the Ohio voting on election day, 2008.

Well now Pilgrims, the US Civil Rights Commission has just come down with their report on the DOJ's action --- and it ain't purty for them in power!

The Justice Department has tried to hide the involvement of high-level political officials in the dismissal of a controversial voter-intimidation lawsuit against members of the New Black Panther Party, a federal commission concluded in a draft report.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights said the department’s reversal in the case, which drew criticism from conservatives, indicates that its Civil Rights Division is failing to protect white voters and is “at war with its core mission of guaranteeing equal protection of the laws for all Americans.” …

The commission’s draft report said the department’s “repeated attempts to obscure” the involvement of political appointees in the dismissal “raise questions about what the Department is trying to hide. ”

The report accuses the Justice Department of stonewalling the commission’s investigation and of failing to turn over key documents and make witnesses available. Schmaler disputed that, saying the department provided more than 4,000 pages of documents.

That kinda summarizes the whole ugly scene --- but for more, click here. I wonder if Congressman Issa, who will replace Conyers the mealy mouthed as chair of the gob'mint oversight committee, might want to look further into this in January when the 112th is seated? Duh....?
