Gibbs LIES and Says He Doesn’t Know About The DOJ Voter Intimidation Case
Karl Rove on Black Panther Case: White House ‘Thumbing Its Nose’ at Voter Rights
FOX news
The White House is “thumbing its nose” at one of the most fundamental American rights by not investigating allegations that the Justice Department wrongly abandoned a 2008 voter intimidation case, former Bush adviser Karl Rove charged on Friday.
In an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on ‘America Live,’ Rove accused White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs of “not telling the truth” when he said Thursday that he was not looking into allegations that the DOJ wrongly dismissed a case against the New Black Panther Party. He also accused the administration of “thumbing its nose at one of the most essential rights Americans have.”
“Of course they’re aware of this,” Rove said. “I can’t imagine that when the attorney general makes such a controversial decision, that they would have not discussed this with the White House.
Former Justice attorney J. Christian Adams testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on Tuesday that his former employer not only abandoned the voter intimidation case for racial reasons last year, but had instructed attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.
Gibbs, however, appeared to dismiss the New Black Panther case on Thursday, telling a reporter who questioned him on the matter that “I haven’t paid any attention to it.”

Wild Thing’s comment…….
If Obama lets this Black Panther Party get off……he needs to leave office. Tyrants are not concerned with voter’s rights.
To let Gibbs get away with …”I haven’t paid any attention to it.” as an acceptable response is just maddening.
