“Did White House Pull Plug on New Black Panther Case?”
According to last night’s Olbermann, it was actually the Bush White House that officially pulled the plug BEFORE Obama became POTUS!
I was flipping channels and can’t bear to watch him...anyone know details on how they could be claiming dropping the case happened on Bush’s watch?
I’ve not the slightest idea how anyone but olbie could say that with a straight face.
The charges were filed in the voter rights section of the DOJ when Christopher Coates was the head of the section.
J. Christian Adams worked for him and has stated in testimony to the USCCR that the case was in effect won by default because the defendants didn’t show for their federal court hearing.
Well after the Obama administration took over the DOJ dropped charges with the exception of the one about King Shabazz wielding the nightstick and then he just got a slap on the wrist for that.
In short, Olbermann lies. :-)
