Rep. Steve King: ‘Dept. of Justice Playing Racial Politics’
07/06/2010

Shocking revelations have surfaced from whistleblower J. Christian Adams who testified today before the commission.

From Fox News story:

In emotional and personal testimony, an ex-Justice official who quit over the handling of a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party accused his former employer of instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.

J. Christian Adams, testifying Tuesday before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said that "over and over and over again," the department showed "hostility" toward those cases. He described the Black Panther case as one example of that -- he defended the legitimacy of the suit and said his "blood boiled" when he heard a Justice official claim the case wasn't solid.

"It is false," Adams said of the claim.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) says the Obama Justice Department is playing racial politics.

“DOJ whistleblower, Christian Adams, credibly alleges that the Department of Justice has adopted a default mechanism by which it is deciding how to handle voting rights cases based on the racial makeup of the parties involved. This is an explosive allegation, and is just the latest evidence of a Department of Justice that is more interested in playing racial politics than in ensuring Americans receive equal protection of the law,â€
