The federal investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of the Black Panther voter intimidation case has widened its scope in ways that increase the chances the president will be impeached in the new year.
In a letter delivered today to Attorney General Eric Holder, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights indicated its investigation has shifted from a narrow focus on dropping the Philadelphia case to the broader question of whether the DoJ – and the Obama administration – is systematically discriminating against white victims.
Commission members voted 5-1 to send the new letter, which notes their “original aim was to determine the reasons for and implications of DOJ’s dismissal of most of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation lawsuit.” It adds, “Our current focus is on the following systemic issue: the growing evidence of a culture of hostility in the Civil Rights Division to the race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws that may involve both supervisory attorneys and some of your political appointees.”
The original case seemed certain to take down some political appointees – and possibly lead even higher. Holder is expected to turn over two memos reflecting race-based discrimination in voting rights cases, which the Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez saw before his testimony to the USCCR. On May 14th, Perez stated under oath that the decision to let the Black Panthers go was simply “a case of career people disagreeing with career people.” Political appointees, he promised, were not involved. However, documents obtained by Judicial Watch reveal Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum conferred extensively with Sam Hirsch, a Deputy Associate Attorney General. Both are political appointees, and Hirsch has a long history of Democratic partisanship. These memos are believed to offer additional proof that Perez lied. If Perez committed perjury, the commission must investigate whether he acted on orders from Eric Holder, or Barack Obama. If he did, all three would be guilty of obstruction of justice and suborning perjury, and liable for impeachment.
The new focus allows commission members to launch a more comprehensive investigation into Justice Department policy – and the people responsible for making it. It will almost certainly ensnare the president of the United States. It also conforms precisely with the call of Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor and current fixture at National Review. He wrote last month that racial discrimination outweighs issues of perjury or favoritism in the Black Panther case and should be thoroughly vetted:
It is a grave violation of law for the Justice Department to practice racial discrimination in deciding which cases it will bring, to determine that Americans of one race or class are not entitled to the same protection as all Americans.
That’s not just politicization of the Justice Department. It is criminalization of the Justice Department. Under the Constitution, it is Congress’s obligation to stop it.
This means regardless of whether investigators can prove Obama personally instructed Perez to lie under oath, the president may be impeached if the commission can prove he established the Justice Department’s anti-white discrimination policy – or to have turned a blind eye to it once he learned of it.
Two former career attorneys in the civil rights division specializing in voting rights have testified the Justice Department has determined not to enforce any law that either enfranchises white voters or disenfranchises minorities. Christopher Coates testified that his superior, Loretta King, whom Obama appointed Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, “does not support equal enforcement of the” law for Caucasians. He further named Julie Fernandez, Obama’s Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, whom Coates said told employees “the Obama administration was only interested in bringing…cases that would provide political equality for racial and language minority voters.” Indeed, Fernandez has said as much in public. (Read Coates’ full testimony here.) Another career attorney, J. Christian Adams, went public with these allegations earlier this year.
This is but one of several overlapping investigations into the Black Panther case expected to unfold over the next several months. It also appears to be the most fruitful, for now.
There is little doubt about the department’s actual guilt. Today’s letter states the investigation has already uncovered “detailed allegations of malfeasance in the Civil Rights Division, which are at war with its core mission.” The commission now must ask one question: How did the Justice Department become infected with racism? Who handed down these directives?
Eric Holder will do everything he can to assure the USCCR never gets its answer. Their letter betrays impatience with his months of stonewalling. “Since June 2009,” it reads, “the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has sought information from the Department of Justice, much of which the department refused to provide despite its statutory obligation to ‘cooperate fully’ with such commission requests.” It instructs the attorney general to conduct “a thorough investigation and specific confirmation, refutation, or detailed explanations…that the laws are properly enforced without regard to race.” The members then call on Holder to drop all claims of privilege, turn over all documents and e-mails related to their inquiry, and instruct all employees the commission has subpoenaed to testify fully and accurately.
Holder specifically instructed Coates not to comply with a subpoena and transferred him to a remote office in South Carolina to keep him from speaking out. Coates invoked whistleblower status when he testified last month.
The attorney general, who is in charge of enforcing the law, will do everything he can to obstruct this investigation for a simple reason: Eric Holder is nothing if not the Left’s company man. He is a partisan ideologue committed to Obama’s decision to use the executive branch of government to ram through his radical transformation of America. Holder shares that agenda, and he knows the high price those found guilty of enshrining racial prejudice in law will face: impeachment.
Today’s letter brought that result one step closer to reality.
IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE finally has the BALLS to investigate OBAMA the FRAUD and HIS VOTER INTIMIDATION HENCHMEN!!! ALL of these LOW-LIFE, UN-EDUCATED MORONS belong in FEDERAL PRISON!!!!
Hey Holder, the OTHER people Obama has thrown under the bus welcomes you.
SURELY you don't think Obama, once he realizes this is for real, won't throw YOU under the bus to save his own hide?
Obama will NOT go down by himself, I guarantee it, Holder AND Pelosi!
As a supporter of the Impeach obama movement, I look forward with pleasure to his impeachment and hopefully removal.This White House traitor, an America hater who is dedicated to destroying our country and to playing golf while Rome burns. In addition, his fellow idiot Holder should also be tortured by repeated hearings before a Democratic congress committee to make his life as miserable as he has delighted in causing misery to others. Obama's attitude was predictable–he was reported to be a black racist and as a mixed breed he must prove to African Americans that he is all black and this is the way he does it.
It does seem we are in some sort of alternate reality when Congress brought Clinton up for impeachment for ultimately a private matter, but Obama and Holden are for real committing obstruction of justice on the American people.
Keep the lights on guys you are dealing with Chicago thugs and I have no doubt someone could end up missing along with several bags of cement!!!
Even the left is preparing for the impeachments to come , and come they will. After Jan. if there is solid evidence to support what we all know has been going on there will be impeachments unless the Congress cowers for fear of race oriented backlash and to be plain I mean riots and blood shed. Obama and his Dept. of inJustice have already set the stage during the theft of a Presidential race where they strong-armed H. Clinton voters out in the primaries and intimidated voters in the Pres. Election. I do not mean to indicate a strictly black on white situation. I mean an extreme left ( unions, blacks, communist and hardline socialist and other extremeist) vs. white situation.
It’s about time something was done about Obama’s constant abuse of his office. Holder and the rest of the crooks not only should be impeached but sentenced to prison, forfeit their retirement incomes if any and if Obama is found to be an illegal alien, he should be deported to his country of origin after serving his jail term. If the media had done its job in the first place, we wouldn’t be going through all this mess. The AP still shows its bias on a regular basis.
Audit the Fed now and restore the Glass Segel Act, follow the Constitution. 180º from Obama.
All of these issues are a smoke screen to the truth which is that the U.S. government has not been the lawful government for more than 134 years. It's a corporation made official by the Act of 1871. Worse than that we don't even own it. That's why D.C. doesn't listen to the people they don't work for the people. How can a corporation be a government, make laws or sign treaties? How can you be a citizen of a corporation?
Read the truth and come back to the fold America, take your country back from the foreign banksters who stole it…. http://restoredusa.blogspot.com/
First of all that was a juvenile response. Did you look up the Act of 1871? I most certainly do not support a CEO who is unqualified to serve as president but he isn't the president. If the puppet regime in Washington were under our Constitution he wouldn't be in office in the first place. The last lawful president we had under our Constitutional Republic was Abraham Lincoln. That is all black and white info and 100% verifiable if you choose to behave like a reasonable adult and check what I said. The corporation is collapsing which is what happens to all corporations who spend themselves into oblivion by writing massive rubber checks. The only difference between the corp. and us is that if we do that we go to jail, when they do that eventually the creditors foreclose and or go after them demanding accountability. Both are happening now. So before you spout silly accusations and reveal your IQ with the use of profanity instead of the perfectly adequate English language, do some reading… .http://restoredusa.blogspot.com/
Here is what I don't understand if the KKK stood outside polling places how long would it take Obumas pet monkey not his wife but Holder to get the law involved.Except for a few republicans telling Holder to do his duty and no democrats he says only white people can be brought up on charges.You don't think this is racism,this stinks of racism.
I hope that all the voters who put him in the white house realize what a big mistake they made. Alot of them claimed they were going to make history on the evening of the presidential elections. Little did they know that they were making history,—–history of putting the worst man in the white house along with racism and law breaking individual. But he will go down in history as the WORST MAN EVER IN THE OVAL OFFICE! And he will be impeached sooner or later. He betrayed the American people and our founding fathers. Note* Notice that I dont give him the title of President cause he is not what a president should be, he is a traitor a man that puts his pants on the same way as I do and all men, one leg at a time. He doesnt rate the title PRESIDENT!Not to me anyway and Im sure others feel the same way as I do.
Obama can't be impeached because he is not legally the President! He needs to be proven ineligible by the courts or Congress so that any and everything he has signed, is null and void. That includes his two Supreme Court appointees!
TO ALL you people that voted for this man to be your president: I will never accept him as MY anthing except a dictator! This man is determined, by you who believed all his lies, to completely make our country open for ANY enemy to just walk right in. He is taking away our defense in any and every way he can. He wants our country to be taken over by HIM and his communists buddies. When Nov. 2, 2010 comes, please remember that when you vote it is FOR HIM or AGAINST HIM, but remember all the horrible things HE has done so far and we still have him for another two years! I still have a right to my own opinion and this is it!
As I have said before, HE is not the president. HE is a CEO of the U.S. Corporation and they are not our government. Yes the November elections should certainly reflect how we all feel however it truly is 1775 once again and every individual must choose to re-inhabit the Republic or sink with the bankrupt corporation. If you wish to take this country back it must be done lawfully as instructed by the founders in the Declaration of Independence, paragraph 2. This is being done but we can't do it alone….Take a stand now or fall to your knees and stay there…. http://restoredusa.blogspot.com/
For hundred's of year's our military has fought and died to protect us and the Constitution our forefather's founded this UnitedState's of America on and Washington is trying to tear it all apart to the point of no return.Being a Disabled Veteran means' a lot to me being a part of the military who was and has been fighting for the people of this GREAT COUNTRY and to make it anyless is a vilation against the people of same and the person or person's responsible should be held responsible and punished to the greatest extent of the law to include immideate removal from any office held.
The only way dems can win is by lying and intimidation.
Holden does not dispense Justice or the Rule of Law …. he operates on CISS Cause I Say So! He really should not be aloud in a court room or hold any office that dispenses Justice. He might make a good PEZ dispenser.

djsongbird, you need to read the book “The Real Lincoln”, he did the same thing
in 1861, that obama is doing to us now! He was a lyer, a law breaker, made a
mockery of our Constitution, some of the people of the north went to jail
trying to protest what he was doing! Go read!
Hopefully, if the Republicans win in November and we have a majority, we can hold, Holder's, feet to the fire. It's so sad and heartbreaking to watch our country and "way of life" being turned into Socialism, due to a President, who also has the Congress and Senate in majority, to "rubber-stamp" his far left agenda. This is the first time in our country when our President allows illegals to run amok over our borders and at the same time, sues a state for trying to defend its borders. The Dems want to stay in power "forever", and feel they can do it, if they allow amnesty. Yes, they will have millions of votes to do it, but we will all be enslaved by Socialism/Communism.
REMOVAL not IMPEACHMENT!
Clinton was impeached and he threw a big party at the White House and still hasn't left!
Obama MUST be REMOVED!
