Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes

FOLKS. THIS "NEWSBITE" DESERVES ITS OWN SEPARATE POSTING...

J. Christian Adams, a former career Justice Department lawyer who resigned recently to protest political interference in cases he worked on, made some news [Thursday] in testimony before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

NOPE... NOT JUST ABOUT THE PANTHER CASE... KEEP READING!

He testified...

TESTIFIED.

TESTIFIED UNDER OATH!

TESTIFIED UNDER OATH UNDER THREAT OF PERJURY CHARGES SHOULD HIS TESTIMONY BE FOUND TO BE DISHONEST!!!

...that last year Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes made a jaw-dropping announcement to attorneys in Justice's Voting Rights section. She said she would not support any enforcement of a key section of the federal "Motor Voter" law - Section 8 - which requires states to periodically purge their voter rolls of dead people, felons, illegal voters and those who have moved out of state.

FOLKS... THIS COLUMN IS DATED JULY 8TH. SOMEHOW I MISSED IT. THIS IS THE FIRST I'M HEARING OF THIS. THIS IS BIG!

According to Mr. Adams, Justice lawyers were told by Ms. Fernandes: "We're not interested in those kind of cases. What do they have to do with helping increase minority access and turnout? We want to increase access to the ballot, not limit it."

If true, Ms. Fernandes was endorsing a policy of ignoring federal law and encouraging potential voter fraud.

FOLKS... THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! HAVE ANY OF YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS PRIOR TO READING THIS POST...???

[T]here is some evidence backing up Mr. Adams. Last year, Justice abandoned a case it had pursued for three years against Missouri for failing to clean up its rolls. When filed in 2005, one-third of Missouri counties had more registered voters than voting-age residents. What's more, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, a Democrat who this year is her party's candidate for a vacant U.S. Senate seat, contended that her office had no obligation to ensure individual counties were complying with the federal law mandating a cleanup of their voter rolls.

The case made slow but steady progress through the courts for more than three years, amid little or no evidence of progress in cleaning up Missouri's voter rolls. Despite this, Obama Justice saw fit to dismiss the case in March 2009. (Curiously, only a month earlier, Ms. Carnahan had announced her Senate candidacy.)

FOLKS... THIS IS SCARY SHIT!

Missouri has a long and documented history of voter fraud in Democratic-leaning cities such as St. Louis and Kansas City. Ms. Carnahan may now stand to benefit from voter fraud facilitated by the improperly kept voter rolls that she herself allowed to continue.

Mr. Adams' allegations would seem to call for the senior management of Justice to be compelled to testify under oath to U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. But Justice is making none of its officials available and is refusing to enforce subpoenas issued by the commission. The more this story develops, the more it appears Justice is engaged in a massive cover-up of its politicization of voting rights cases.
