They also think there’s evidence that the department has adopted a policy to ignore voting rights violations against white victims.
Senate Judiciary Republicans sent a letter Friday to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the committee, requesting a hearing. That followed a letter sent by House Judiciary Republicans to President Obama asking him to direct Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to launch an investigation, according to Fox News.
A former Justice Department attorney, J. Christian Adams, now a conservative blogger, testified that supervisors in the division instructed attorneys to ignore voting rights cases that involved black defendants and white victims.
"If these alarming allegations are true, the Civil Rights Division is actively engaged in widespread politicization and possible corruption," Senate Republican Judiciary members wrote. "It is imperative that you schedule a hearing immediately so we can determine the validity of these claims and whether DOJ, as Mr. Adams testified, 'abetted wrongdoers and abandoned law-abiding citizens.'"
In their letter to the president, House Republican Judiciary members said the Justice Department's "continued refusal to give any legitimate reason for the dismissal has only increased suspicions that race and politics played a role in the decision."

What more do one thinks an unamerican president is gonna do?
Obama has tried to seal all his records. He won by voter fraud and intimidation like majority of the Liberal Democrats. So why would they not try and keep their underhanded tactics sealed in Pandora's box?
does that mean they want to investigate President Bush and his Justice Department? And can they find a single voter from that precinct that actually complained? I'm guessing no on both accounts because this is a bs partisan witchunt.
"A recent Media Matters investigation has debunked charges that the Obama administration withdrew criminal charges against the Panthers (in fact, the Bush administration decided not to pursue criminal charges, with Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez testifying that the Bush Justice Department 'determined that the facts did not constitute a prosecutable violation of the criminal statutes'"
Don't let the facts get in your way
