Testimony On Government's 'Racist' Decisions Scheduled

A former U.S. Department of Justice attorney who resigned after he claimed the federal bureaucracy decided not to pursue an apparently legitimate voter intimidation case against a black man because of his race is scheduled to give evidence.

J. Christian Adams is on the calendar to testify before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights regarding the Justice Department's dismissal of the case involving the New Black Panther Party's alleged intimidation of voters in 2008 in Philadelphia.

Adams resigned from the agency after the case was ordered to be dismissed.

According to Pajamas Media, where he now is a contributor, Adams will provide testimony at 9:30 a.m. July 6 at the commission's Washington office.

Adams this week told Fox News, "There is a pervasive hostility within the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department toward these sorts of cases."

Asked whether there is a specific Justice Department policy against pursuing cases in which the defendant is black and the victim is white, Adams replied, "Particularly in voting, that will be the case for the next few years. No doubt about it. If you had all the attorneys who worked on this case here, I am quite sure that they would say the exact same thing."
