Eric Holder, the most corrupt attorney general in our nation's history, has
finally decided to step down after six scandal-ridden years at the
Department of Justice.
With the Senate likely to change hands after the midterm elections, the
president will want to have the confirmation process for his pick for the
next Attorney General (aka "scandal goalie" or "firewall") over before the
Republican Senate convenes in January.
In case you're wondering about the timing of this.
Holder, who should have resigned in disgrace after the Fast and Furious
scandal erupted in the Spring of 2011, soldiered on even after he was held
in contempt by congress in the summer of 2012.
His tenure as the nation's top law enforcement officer will be remembered as
one marked by scandal, corruption, hyper-politicization, opposition to 2nd
Amendment rights, hostility toward conservatives, and an abysmal batting
average in the courts.
Under Holder, the DOJ began treating terrorists as criminal defendants
rather than enemy combatants, and purged references to "radical Islam" in
FBI training materials.
His first scandal erupted when the DOJ dropped the New Black Panther voter
intimidation case in May of 2009, (described by Bartle Bull, a former civil
rights lawyer and publisher of the left-wing Village Voice, as "the most
blatant form of voter intimidation I've ever seen.")
Under Holder, the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ became hyper-politicized
sewer that engaged in politicized hiring practices in the career civil
service ranks.
In June 2008, Holder admitted to the American Constitution Society (an
organization started as a liberal counterweight to the Federalist Society)
that the Justice Department was “going to be looking for people who share
our values.”
The Holder Justice Department refused to characterize the Fort Hood attack
on November 5, 2009 as an act of terrorism - not one of the post-attack
reports issued by the DOJ mentioned Nidal Hasan’s Islamist ideology -
Instead they labeled it as “workplace violence, ” allowing the Obama
administration to deny they families of the victims benefits.
In May of 2013, it was discovered that the Justice Department had secretly
obtained two months of the telephone records of reporters and editors for
The Associated Press (AP).
President and CEO Gary Pruitt has described the DOJ’s actions as a “
massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the
news.
The Holder Justice Department also unjustly spied on Fox News reporter,
James Rosen.
Throughout his tenure, Holder has consistently opposed efforts to pass voter
integrity laws - which are designed to minimize voter fraud - under the
pretense that they disenfranchise nonwhite minorities.
The Holder DOJ was caught colluding with Lois Lerner to prosecute
conservative tax exempqt groups.
According to new IRS emails obtained through a Freedom of Information
Act request from Judicial Watch, former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS
Lois Lerner was in contact with the Department of Justice in May 2013 about
whether tax exempt groups could be criminally prosecuted for "lying" about
political activity.
Earlier this month, a Holder Communication Aide was caught trying to collude
with Democrats in Congress, when he mistakenly called House Oversight
Chairman Darrel Issa's office for help spinning the IRS scandal.
No one who values impartial justice and the rule of law is going to be sorry
to see Eric Holder. The next attorney general can hardly be worse. |
