Former DOJ employee cautions Senate against confirming ‘extreme’ nominee Perez 

 The Department of Justice whistleblower who resigned over the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case said President Barack Obama’s labor secretary nominee Thomas Perez is the “most extreme cabinet nominee in 70 years.”

J. Christian Adams, who worked for Perez at the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, sent a stern warning to the U.S. Senate about Perez’s policies.

“Different business groups who don’t think the nominee matters should pay close attention to Perez’s record,” Adams said in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon. “People like Perez are very skillful at creatively ignoring the law to suit their own ends.”

Adams resigned from the Department of Justice in 2010 following the dismissal of voter intimidation charges against two members of the New Black Panther Party who had brandished weapons outside of a Philadelphia election center two years earlier. He wrote a tell-all book exposing the racial politics of the Civil Rights Division under Perez.

A newly unveiled inspector general (IG) report on the division found that Perez interpreted voting protection laws “to not cover white citizens.”

Adams said the IG report confirmed what he had been saying about the Civil Rights division since his resignation.

“Here is the chief official for civil rights violating the letter of the law to not protect certain people,” Adams said. “He not only harbors this mindset, he facilitates it throughout the division. There are a number of people who share that worldview in powerful positions right now.”

  1. And Mark Burnett swears he didn't model Satan after Obama! Perez would certainly be Satan's choice if he wan't to further destroy the US.

    1. I don't believe him for a minute, as there is no way they could have gone to production without 99% of the people involved remarking on the similarity.:)

  2. No need to warn Obama about his appointment. He knows exactly
    who Perez is and what he will do and John McCain and Lindsey Graham
    will pave the road through Republican oposition for him.

    Anyone follow the NBC show "Revolution". The new season starts next Monday (I think). The back episodes are available on their web site. There is a guy on that show (he might have been killed off near the end of last season) who is also a dead ringer for Obama and he is a truly evil character.

      Agreed.

      Hopefully they will read the tea leaves as they aren't looking particularly good for 2016 and especially in Graham's instance, at least I hope so.
