WASHINGTON, D.C.--President
Obama recently nominated Debo Adegbile
to be head of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. Texas Senator Ted Cruz today spoke out
against the nomination and criticized Adegbile, who previously held a
leadership position at the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund (LDF). During his time with the black activist group, Adegbile
volunteered to defend Mumia Abu-Jamal,
the criminal who murdered Philadelphia
cop Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Thanks to Adegbile and his colleagues, Abu-Jamal
ultimately avoided the death penalty.
Despite heavy scrutiny, LDF
attorneys said it was a great "honor" to represent the convicted cop
killer.
On the Senate floor Tuesday
afternoon, Cruz said, "Mr. President, this is insulting to law enforcement
officers everywhere. I stand with the Fraternal Order of Police in opposition
to Debo Adegbile."
He stressed the fact that Adegbile
took pride in defending Abu-Jamal simply because of his skin color. The LDF's
defense had nothing to do with proving innocence or guilt, Cruz argued.

Mumia Abu-Jamal
was a member of the Black Panthers,
and his attorney was Debo P. Adegbile.

Black Panther Boss Who Got Off For Voter Intimidation
Arrested
June 28, 2013
But a few months later the Obama DOJ
quietly dropped the charges and it all disappeared like a bad dream. Judicial
Watch investigated and after suing the DOJ, obtained explosive documents that
show Obama political appointees were intimately involved in the decision to
dismiss the voter intimidation case against the Black Panthers. The documents directly
contradict sworn testimony by Obama’s Assistant Attorney General for the Civil
Rights Division, Thomas Perez, that no political leadership was involved in the
decision.
