The trumped-up allegations that the Obama Justice Department engaged in racially charged "corruption" in its handling of the New Black Panther Party case jumped from Fox News to CNN this morning. Anchor Kyra Phillips hosted Republican activist J. Christian Adams, whom she referred to as a "whistleblower," to repeat his unsubstantiated accusations, which are based on hearsay and charges made by other people.
One of the on-screen graphics described Adams' allegations as "Voter intimidation scandal at Justice Dept.":
During the segment, Phillips discussed the Commission on Civil Rights' investigation into the case with Ashley L. Taylor Jr., a Republican member of the commission. Phillips said that the investigation has "divided" the commission and that two commissioners were Democrats. She then read a portion of a statement from Michael Yaki, a Democratic member of commission, that criticized the commission's months-long investigation as "incredibly shallow," "partisan," and "a one-sided farce."
But Yaki isn't the only member of the commission to criticize its investigation -- Abigail Thernstrom, the Republican vice chair of the panel, has done the same.

DOJ Lawyer Who Brought Black Panthers Case Resigns
DOJ Lawyer Who Brought Black Panthers Case Resigns
By Ryan J. Reilly | May 18, 2010 9:34 pm
The Justice Department trial attorney behind a controversial lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party has resigned, citing the way the DOJ handled the voter intimidation case and subsequent investigation by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
J. Christian Adams, a lawyer with a history in conservative activism who was hired into a career position under a politicized process during the Bush administration, wrote in a May 14 letter to the chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division that he has incurred significant personal expense in connection with the Civil Rights Commission investigation.
Adams was subpoenaed by the commission to testify about the case, but the Justice Department refused to let him appear. Adams wrote that his expenses were incurred in “retaining a number of separate attorneys and firms regarding this subpoena in order to protect my interests and advise me about my personal legal obligation to comply with the subpoena.”
