5. Here is some more on that idiot-Christian Adams

This is from the article cited by in the OP

Joseph Rich, a former Chief of the DoJ's Voting Rights Division described Adams as a paradigm example of the type of illicit, ideologically-based Bush DoJ hiring practices that were exposed by a July 2008 report issued by the Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR). It was Adams who abused his position in the DoJ's Voting Rights Division by filing acivil rights action against the New Black Panther Party, based upon allegations of voter intimidation that were thoroughly debunked by a 2011 OPR report.

According to Sergio Munoz of Media Matters, Adams' "claim to fame as a federal lawyer seems to be his penchant for accusing black people of discriminating against whites."

Since leaving the DoJ, you'll not be surprised to learn, Adams has become a frequent guest on Fox "News" and a contributor to an obscure right-wing website where he accused the Eric Holder DoJ and the venerable NAACP Legal Defense Fund of possessing a "radical racial agenda" --- part of what Munoz describes as a "tired page of the right-wing media's playbook against those who litigate and uphold longstanding civil rights precedent, a body of law that tends to help...those systematically disadvantaged by racism."
