Is the connection between the Obama's and Charles Ogletree (Harvard Law Professor & former Editor of the Black Panther's publication "The Real News"), the reason the DOJ dropped the case?

Hmmmmmmm.

Then these factors:

Has or did he say that or something like it, Most likely so, but maybe no.
But based on that video, and the above claim, it falls in the same category of the faked pimp video.
A smidgen of truth, with a whole lot of editing
Of course, you have no proof of your assertions. Tell us why you find the posting of this video, with the clearly racist black panther, so disturbing?

With regards to my History Channel comment in the first post of this thread:

Do I know the source of the video? No

Do I know if its actual footage from the History Channel? No. I posted it just before I went out the door this morning after a rough night sleeping. I thought I saw what looked to be an History Channel icon on portions of the video. If this wasnt aired on there, I apologize.

Does it matter where the video was from? No. Those are the actual words coming out of the mans mouth. This is the group, are oh so superb Justice Dept refused to prosecute, even with according to one man, the case was an open/shut case.

EDIT: Too late to remove the History Channel remark. Since its blurred out, it looks like it could be National Geographic but its really hard to tell. Either way, it doesnt really matter.

Default Did our DOJ just free this man without charge?

Hey, he did his trick at the Philadelphia polling place and got by with it although the voting section of the DOJ had him dead to rights. If this man could be freed, as he was, there is something wrong with our Department of Justice. I guess we need to call them the Department of Social Justice.

I'd call what he said hate speech whatever the skin color.

Those black people in the tape did not even show up in court. They easily could have gotten a default judgement, but Holder decided not to go forward.

Yeah hes just a big ole liar so you can state why the charges were dropped?

Every single citizen needs to care if there is that type of corruption in our dept of justice.
He quit because under Holder/Obama it is all politics, all the time. Holder should be fired and Obama should start acting like a President, not a petty politician out to ruin our country.

I didn't call him a liar, all I said was what he is saying is simply his opinion....
In the eyes of Holder and Obama you mean. Geez, I wonder why.
