While US Attorney General, Eric Holder Used Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Birth Name as His Official Email

Former US Attorney General Eric Holder is a huge fan of NBA hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

So much so that Holder used Abdul-Jabbar's birth name, Lew Alcindor, as an alias for his official Department of Justice (DOJ) email account, raising more questions about the email practices of top Obama administration officials, and about the ability of US government agencies to track down correspondence in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

The Lew Alcindor revelation was made in a February 16 letter that DOJ sent to VICE News and Ryan Shapiro, a historian and doctoral candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who specializes in national security research.

"For your information," the letter said, "e-mails in the enclosed documents which use the account name 'Lew Alcindor' denote e-mails to or from former Attorney General Holder."

The letter was part of about 500 pages of heavily redacted emails and other documents [pdf at the end of this story] given to VICE News and Shapiro in response to a FOIA lawsuit filed in late 2014. The documents show that Justice Department officials sent emails to Lew Alcindor regarding calls from lawmakers for a federal investigation into claims that CIA personnel spied on Senate staffers while the Senate was drafting a report about the CIA's torture program. Holder's name does not appear anywhere in his Lew Alcindor email account.

"I'm sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. I'm Roger Murdock; I'm the co-pilot." ...

"I think you're the greatest! But my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense; and he says that lots of times you don't even run down court, and that you don't even try, except during the playoffs..."

"The hell I don't! Listen, kid: I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!" ...

Either Obama had zero control over his direct reports or he told them that he didn’t care what they did to conceal their email from authorities.

Hillary had her own server (that Obama knew about) and many others had aliases that they conducted official business on.

No leadership, or criminal. Take your pick.

He also went on to say that his bank PIN number is Zac Efron’s birthday because he’s just so damn dreamy.

Selfie sticks

Flipping off the camera

Quoting Mao Tse Tung (3 cabinet members did this in 6 weeks)

Using a whole tilt-rotar for a dog and BASKETBALLS

Deep-throating snow cones

Keeping email addresses of childhood heroes

See, with this Admin, it’s not just that so much has been OPNELY anti-America:

It’s also that so much outside of the anti-Americanism has been SO CHILDISH and so GHETTO.

When Trump does something unserious, the whole Media rises up with charges of clownishness.

Well, okay...

If you're a BLACK LIBERAL, you can do this ALL DAY LONG.

This clown was the biggest dope to ever draw a U.S. Government paycheck. And that’s really saying something.
