Jonathan Bachman/Reuters - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder speaks at a news conference in New Orleans November 15, 2012.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Thursday defended the Justice Departments handling of the investigation that ledDavid H. Petraeus to resign as CIA director, saying that the department was right to keep the inquiry secret from the White House until after last weeks presidential election.
Holders first public comments on the controversy came as the CIA opened an internal inquiry of Petraeuss conduct during his 14-month tenure as director. The move means that there are three active investigations related to a scandal that has scrambled President Obamas national security team.

They are all trying to decide where to have lunch. Cater in or have someone go out to get lunch? I think just a little bit of shame and embarrassment is creeping into their expressions because of the BS and lies Holder is putting out.

Holder’s first and last loyalty is to the Obozo.
The Obozo and his Chicago thug controlled white house is to be protected by Holder and his thugs, 24/7/365.
Holder has no loyalty to America, other Americans nor to our constitution.
Everything he does is to protect his lord Obozo.
