Justice Department Misconduct Aired by Independent Panel
We present the transcript of a new videotape based on a series of extraordinary public hearings convened on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 in Vienna, Virginia, to investigate allegations of gross misconduct by the United States Department of Justice. The hearings were chaired by former U.S. congressman from South Carolina James Mann and Alabama civil rights attorney J.L. Chestnut. Testimony was heard on four principal case areas of U.S. Department of Justice abuse: the systematic hounding from office of African-American officials; the judicial persecution of Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. and his associates; the frameup of John Demjanjuk by the Office of Special Investigations; and the OSI’s campaign to smear former Austrian President Kurt Waldheim as a Nazi war criminal.
