At the time, the Philadelphia DA said there was no connection between the men in the video and the Black Panthers.

Black Panther Voter Intimidation in Philly? | NBC Los Angeles

1-Its an irrelevant point...the charges are against the individuals

2-Im assuming you to be a person of integrity...therefore I assume if 3 hooded Klansmen showed up at polling places swinging nooses and chains then you would accept the same limp response...getting the 3 Klansmen to agree to not hang out at polling places til the 2012 election and no action against the KKK for voter intimidation.
 
that's clearly not true though. the panthers may not have approved his behavior, but i don't know why more severe criminal charges were not pursued against the particular individual.

I don't know, but I don't think this story is as cut and dry as it seems. I can't do a lot of reading from work, but I was reading the Megan Kelly interview with Adams and I'd like to first find out who is being truthful here:

KELLY: Now before these. You said these were political appointees who made the decision basically. Loretta King and Rosen- this guy Steve Rosenbaum, right?

ADAMS: Correct.

KELLY: Ok. The Department has said they are not appointees. These are career Department of Justice lawyers and so it wasn’t politics in the mix in making this decision.

ADAMS: Yeah. Obviously that’s false. Under the vacancy reform act they were serving a political capacity. This is one of the examples of Congress not being told the truth, the American people not being told the truth about this case. It’s one of other examples in this case where the truth simply is becoming another victim of the process.

Are King and Rosenbaum political appointees from the Obama administration or are they career Dept of Justice attorneys?
