Liberals Fail To See Through AG Eric Holder's Hypocrisy

Eric Holder should resign from his post as US Attorney General not only because of his Breach of Faith to the Intelligence gathering Community, but because of the many conflicts of interest that have kept him from performing his job honestly and unbiasedly. We all know about his dismal track record while serving under the Clinton administration. We all know about his botched decisions regarding crooked financier Marc Rich. We all know about the pardons of the 16 FALN terrorists as well. These alone should have been a warning to those confirming his nomination for the USAG post. But with a Democratic majority in the Senate & Congress, Holder got a free pass and explained away his ineptness as a learning experience.

Who’s side is he on?

What the American people received was damaged goods. They got an Eric Holder that did not disclose his involvement with cases involving the RNC and the potential for conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interests that if disclosed at the time would have cost him and his Law firm, Covington & Burling millions of dollars. Take for example the case of former Democratic Alabama Governor Don Siegelman , convicted of bribery charges and sent to jail for seven years. Mr. Siegelman’s backers, and some legal experts, contended that the evidence against him was flimsy. But the appeals court judges, all appointed by Republican presidents, brushed past that claim. At the outset of their 68-page opinion, they expressed great reluctance to interfere with the jury verdict, handed down nearly three years ago in Montgomery, Ala. in 2007, the House Judiciary Committee began investigating charges that President BushPresident Bush's top political advisor, Karl RoveKarl Rove, had played a role in the prosecution. Hence, the RNC became a client of Eric Holder’s firm Covington & Burling. Hence the delay in bringing to trial the Siegelman case. Holders’ firm was paid millions of dollars by the RNC, to protect them from having to turn over Karl Rove's emails that were run on the RNC Servers. So, instead of doing the right thing and prosecuting the case or asking the President to appoint a special counsel, he placated the Right, Karl Rove and the RNC, turned his back on the Left who wanted Spiegelman cleared of the charges and in essence, let the case languish while causing Spiegelman to sit in jail longer than he should have.All for the sake of the almighty dollar.

The Ted Stevens Case

In the case involving Republican Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, he chose to drop the case instead of trying to defend the conviction handed down by a Federal Judge. Holder explained away the decision by saying:

"After careful review, I have concluded that certain information should have been provided to the defense for use at trial," "In light of this conclusion, and in consideration of the totality of the circumstances of this particular case, I have determined that it is in the interest of justice to dismiss the indictment and not proceed with a new trial."

Little did we know that the main reason for not proceeding with the case was the boatload of money the RNC was forking over to Holders Law firm, Covington & Burling. Conflict of interest?

Holder's favorable treatment of Republicans hardly stops with the Stevens case. The Tobin phone-jamming case in New Hampshire, the Kott case in Alaska, and the Abramoff/Feeney case in Florida are other examples of the Eric Holder DOJ killing GOPers with kindness.

Who is calling the shots?

So one has to wonder about the motivation behind Holders push to shame CIA agents and interrogators and exposing Americans to more violence from terrorists that see the US as soft and not interested in the fight against terrorism. Is the end game trying to Bash the Bush administration or make nice with the Liberal Left? If you may ask, Holder has a lot of making up and explaining to his party faithful about his penchant for going soft on Republicans in return for the almighty dollar. This smells to me like Holder is taking his marching orders from Obama who is looking to rally his base after failing to hammer home a Healthcare Bill before the summer.

Anyone that thinks that Eric Holder is doing this in the name of law is delusional. This guy has shown that he has no backbone and is merely a puppet doing Obama’s bidding. He could care less about setting examples to the world community about how Intelligence interrogations should be conducted. He has always been about the almighty dollar and nothing less. The left should be up in arms and asking this phony to resign because frankly, no one seems to know who’s side he’s on.. "
