if there are going to be forfeiture laws, I think that we have to take away the incentive for personal/department gain.

Holder lets New Black Panthers skate...AGAIN 3/27/2012 nation.foxnews.com J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department Attorney, talked to Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends this morning about why he felt the New Black Panther party were being ignored by Attorney General Eric Holder, despite their illegal threat to 'capture' Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman. Adams argues that the Justice Department needs to focus on them because "You cannot solicit kidnapping in the State of Florida, it's a felony." "The new Black Panthers think they are above the law" and Adams attributes this thinking to Eric Holder's Department of Justice. This is not the first time the New Black Panther party have gotten a pass from the Attorney General after a voter intimidation case (see video below) was dropped. Former Justice Department Lawyer Accuses Holder of Dropping New Black Panther Case for Racial Reasons Published June 30, 2010 \| FoxNews.com A former Justice Department attorney who quit his job to protest the Obama administration's handling of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case is accusing Attorney General Eric Holder of dropping the charges for racially motivated reasons. J. Christian Adams, now an attorney in Virginia and a conservative blogger for Pajamas Media, says he and the other Justice Department lawyers working on the case were ordered to dismiss it. "I mean we were told, 'Drop the charges against the New Black Panther Party,'" Adams told Fox News, adding that political appointees Loretta King, acting head of the civil rights division, and Steve Rosenbaum, an attorney with the division since 2003, ordered the dismissal.
