Federal Court finds Obama appointees interfered with New Black Panther prosecution
[Washington Examiner]  A federal court in Washington, DC, held last week that political appointees appointed by President B.O. did interfere with the Department of Justice's prosecution of the New Black Panther Party.The ruling came as part of a motion by the conservative legal watch dog group Judicial Watch, who had sued the DOJ in federal court to enforce a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining to the the New Black Panthers case. Judicial Watch had secured many previously unavailable documents through their suit against DOJ and were now suing for attorneys' fees. Obama's DOJ had claimed Judicial Watch was not entitled to attorney's fees since "none of the records produced in this litigation evidenced any political interference whatsoever in" how the DOJ handled the New Black Panther Party case.
