When former attorney in the voting rights section of the civil rights division, J. Christian Adams resigned from his position so he could honor the subpoena for his testimony from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. It was explosive but the testimony of his boss, Christopher Coates would have been much more damaging to the Eric Holder led Department of Justice. Coates, unlike Adams did not resign and until September 24th, honored the mandate from the DOJ that he not testify.
Coates finally testified on September 24th and defied his superiors. It was, in a word, EXPLOSIVE. Curiously, the media seemed more interested in comedian Steven Colbert's testimony - while in character - in front of congress on the same day.
Here are the highlights.

For a very pertinent refresher on this matter, click HERE to see J. Christian Adams' interview with Fox's Megyn Kelly back in June of 2010. In that interview, he refers to both Coates and Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez.
