The fact is he was acquitted of dozens of crimes of conspiracy because the “laws of evidence” in a civilian court would not allow the prosecution to enter all the evidence they had against him – even his own confession – is ludicrous.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) that provide new evidence that top political appointees at the DOJ were intimately involved in the decision to dismiss the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (NBPP).

The head of the Obama Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez, admitted this week that he has no real intention of trying to assure that members of our military are afforded their right to vote, and will not attempt in a timely fashion to enforce the MOVE Act (Military and Overseas Voter Empower Act) intended to make sure that our soldiers get their ballots with time enough to return them so that they can be counted on election day.

“There are career people who feel strongly that it is not the voting section’s job to protect white voters,” the lawyer said.”

Illinois has been tardy in getting ballots out to our men and women serving in the military, and thus their votes may not count in November. This is especially damaging to Mark Kirk since he is a military reservist and soldiers vote for Republicans over Democrats by a three-to-one ratio.

FoxNews.com first reported Sunday that New York had not mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters, in clear violation of the MOVE Act. As of Monday at noon, the ballots still had not been sent.

Civilian due-process standards are crippling the government’s case. Once again, politics has trumped national security and common sense.

This important case was dismissed over the unanimous objection of the four career attorneys on the trial team and career officials in the department’s appellate office, including its chief.
