Corruption is stinking up the air in the U.S. Justice Department, so why is the senate not investigating it? Harry Reid, why don't you hold hearings into this matter?
From Fox News: A former Justice Department attorney who resigned last month in protest of the Obama administration's handling of a voter intimidation case involving the New Black Panther Party accused a top Justice official of lying under oath about the circumstances surrounding the decision to drop the case.
J. Christian Adams, now an attorney in Virginia and a blogger for Pajamas Media, told Fox News in an exclusive interview that aired Wednesday that Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez provided false testimony in May to the United States Commission on Civil Rights, which is investigating the department's decision to drop charges against three members of the radical group in a case that the government won....But Adams told Fox News that the department's decision to dismiss the case reeked of racial politics and corruption.
"I don't think the department or the fine people who work there are corrupt, but in this particular instance, to abandon law-abiding citizens and abet wrongdoers constitutes corruption," he said....Adams also said the department has been caught lying about the case, including the assertion that the decision to dismiss the charges was made only by Loretta King, acting head of the civil rights division, and Steve Rosenbaum, an attorney with the division.
Citing a Washington Times article, Adams said Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli, the No. 3 official in the department, was responsible for the decision. He also said a written response from the department to the commission revealed that Attorney General Eric Holder was also briefed on the case.
"The initial statements of the department are being proved in hindsight to be false," he said.

If this was the Bush administration and you had members of the KKK outside of a voting place intimidating voters, and the Bush AG dismissed the suit after winning a default judgement, you know Harry Reid would be all over it and rightly so. It would be cause for Bush to be impeached.
But because it involves the Black Panthers, a black AG and a black and Democrat president, they give them a pass. This is racial politics and it hurts the black people who want to vote. How is this different than when whites denied blacks the right to vote through voter intimidation?
So, Harry Reid, when will you hold or order hearings to be held on the right of black and white voters to be able to vote without intimidation? When will you hold hearings regarding the stink at the justice department? To do nothing just shows how little you care about voter intimidation and racial discrimination.
