“Holder Fails to Prosecute Vote Fraudster, Sharpton Hugs Her”

Almasi at National Center:


Members of the National Center’s Project 21 black leadership network share a combination of outrage and disappointment with the Obama Administration over failing to go the distance regarding a bona fide voter fraud case.


Project 21 member Stacy Washington, a local talk radio host in St. Louis, noted:

I wish I could say that the American people should be surprised by fresh evidence of the U.S. Department of Justice’s culture of lawlessness.  Instead, this is par for the course at a Justice Department that seems to operate above the law instead of as an instrument of fair, unbiased and equal application of the law.


Attorney General Holder recently encouraged state attorneys general to refuse to uphold and enforce laws that they don’t like.


Apparently, they don’t like prosecuting voter fraud against individuals that voted in multiplicity for the President.  Duly noted, sirs.  Duly noted.

“Investigating Justice Department Corruption While Giving Thousands to Obama Campaign”

“A key ethics investigator at Eric Holder’s Justice Department has contributed $6,100 to Barack Obama’s election campaign even though she has participated in high profile investigations of political misconduct at the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility. . . .

People like Aubry happily advance the narrative inside the DOJ that Democrats like Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) are pushing on the outside.  The head of OPR is appointed directly by the Attorney General yet many in the media take reports from the unit seriously.  Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, thankfully, did not.”

“Kansas and Arizona win voter proof-of-citizenship ruling”

PBS NewsHour reports on the potential impact moving forward:

There are two other states, Georgia and Alabama, have passed similar laws so they may jump on to this very quickly. It’s a little late in the legislative session for any other states to pass similar laws this year. But proponents of these kind of bills say that this ruling, if it stands, will open the door for more states to require proof of citizenship when people are signing up to vote.

“More Recriminations Over Dropping of Bribery Prosecution in Pennsylvania”

Hans von Spakovsky has the story.

“On Kane’s allegations of racism, Williams, a black Democrat, wrote: “I am offended. I have seen racism. I know what it looks like. This isn’t it.” Williams, a highly accomplished and respected attorney, served as the President of the Black Caucus while at Penn State University and has been devoted his entire life to serving his Philadelphia community. The investigation’s lead agent, Claude Thomas, who is also African American, criticized Kane as well: “The assertion that I/we targeted African Americans is unequivocally and blatantly false. I did not target any persons by race, ethnicity or political affiliation.”
…
Another disturbing development in this spectacle is that Attorney General Kane hired an attorney [4] last week to pursue defamation charges against The Philadelphia Inquirer. Her attorney, Dick Sprague, said that Kane plans on “suing whoever was responsible for the malicious words.” As Pennsylvania’s Attorney General, Kane should understand the protections afforded to the media under the First Amendment and the scrutiny to which any public official is—and ought to be—subjected. Kane’s attempt to squelch any criticism of her performance in office with litigation threats raises serious doubts about whether she has the proper disposition to hold any public position of trust.


Members of both political parties in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives have expressed support [5] for a bipartisan ethics investigation into the actions of the Democratic legislators accused of taking bribes. Such an investigation, however, should not serve as a substitute for criminal prosecution by the Attorney General. She has an absolute duty to enforce the law. If she can’t uphold that obligation, she should not be the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
