In the latter days of the Clinton administration Eric Holder engineered the
pardons of Marc
Rich and the FALN terrorists. In the early 2000's Holder was a senior
partner in the law firm Covington & Burling. Covington & Burling was one
of the law firms that had no interest in defending any US soldiers accused of
misdeeds in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars but it couldn't do enough pro bono
work for Gitmo detainees, successfully securing
the release of one of them:
One of the class of Yemeni Gitmo detainees that Falkoff described as “gentle, thoughtful young men” was released in 2005—only to blow himself up (gently and thoughtfully, of course) in a truck bombing in Mosul, Iraq, in 2008, killing 13 soldiers from the 2nd Iraqi Army division and seriously wounding 42 others.
Holder has done work he'd probably rather you didn't know about:
One wonders what the Obamas would say about Holder’s lucrative work for Chiquita Brands International if it had been performed by, say, John McCain’s top lawyer? As chief counsel for the global company, Holder won a “slap-on-the-wrist plea deal to charges that it had paid off” Colombian paramilitary death squads. Liberal critics of Holder point out that he used his influence as a former Clinton Justice Department official to negotiate a sweetheart deal for Chiquita. The company pleaded guilty to illegally doing business with the “Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia” or AUC (designated as an international terrorist organization by the State Department in 2001). Chiquita admitted negotiating with and forking over $1.7 million in protection racket money to the guerillas beginning in 1997. AUC terrorists slaughtered thousands of civilians to gain control of Colombia’s banana fields.
There were rumors of Holder departing the Obama regime, but an article at The Hill suggests otherwise:
The attorney general’s position has looked perilous at various points during his tenure. But these days, he seems resurgent, pushing states to strike down voting restrictions on ex-felons and fighting hard to restore some of the key powers of the Voting Rights Act. It has been an uphill climb. In 2012, Holder became the first attorney general to be held in contempt by the House of Representatives while, the year before, he had to retreat from his earlier insistence that suspects in the September 11, 2001 attacks should be tried in criminal court in New York. Holder has been a consistent conservative target throughout his time in office, with issues from the Fast and Furious scandal to his stance on the Voting Rights Act raising the ire of the right. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) has sponsored a resolution in the House with 140 co-sponsors calling for Holder’s immediate resignation.
Holder has absolutely no interest in the rights of conservatives and no particular interest in the rights of whites. During his confirmation hearings Holder told us that hate crime laws do not protect whites from hate crimes. Holder made things very clear when he blurted out "my people." That spelled it out. America consists of "his people" and "not his people." If you're not "his people", you're dog meat. There's more here. He does, however, have great interest in the rights of foreigners and minority felons. Holder wants felons to be able to vote and it's patently obvious why: (Excerpt) Read more at floppingaces.net...
