Humberto Fontova 

Back on April 23rd, 2000 Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano had a few questions for (then Deputy) Attorney General Eric Holder. Here they are thanks to The Media Research Center :

Napolitano : Tell me, Mr. Holder, why did you not get a court order authorizing you to go in and get the boy (Elian Gonzalez)?

Holder : Because we didn’t need a court order. INS can do this on its own.

Napolitano : You know that a court order would have given you the cloak of respectability to have seized the boy.

Holder : We didn’t need an order.

Napolitano : Then why did you ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for such an order if you didn’t need one?

Holder : [Silence]

Napolitano : The fact is, for the first time in history you have taken a child from his residence at gunpoint to enforce your custody position, even though you did not have an order authorizing it. When is the last time a boy, a child, was taken at the point of a gun without an order of a judge…Unprecedented in American history.”

Holder : “He was not taken at the point of a gun.”

Napolitano : “We have a photograph showing he was taken at the point of a gun.”

Holder : “They were armed agents who went in there who acted very sensitively…”

This “sensitivity” consisted of the INS macing, kicking, and gun-butt their way into Lazaro Gonzalez's house on the morning of April 22, 2000, wrenching a bawling 6-year-old child from his family at machine-gun point and bundling him off to Castro’s Stalinist fiefdom, leaving 102 people injured, some seriously.

Fontova is always great. Is he ever on Hannity or does Beck ever pick him up? BTW, I remember the night of the raid on FR very well. In my opinion, those of us who opposed the grab are vindicated by this history over the large contingent of FReepers who based their argument on the “father’s rights.”

After Holder’s appointment as deputy attorney general in 1997, he met directly with members of Congress, including Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), and persuaded them not to look into the string of suspicious deaths of those in custody connected with the Oklahoma City investigation. At the time, Holder knew that the FBI had provided the explosives used by McVeigh. He also knew that the FBI had failed to locate the portion of the explosives that had not been used.

..when your incompetent, you get better at it...incompetence. Sound familiar?

Let’s not also forget Holder’s role in the Marc Rich pardon.

Holder has been a liar and fixer for the Communists for many years.

The Elian controversy brings back bad memories.

As the converse to Mochelle—I never felt so ashamed to be an American as on the day he was removed from that home.The entire Clinton administration was complicit in that crime against humanity.

Another reason why Clinton cannot be forgiven the many crimes he has committeed, from rape to selling military secrets to the Chinese to the removal of an innocent boy into servitude that his mother died to bring into freedom. He bowed this country to that b@stard Castro, without due process. Make no mistake, the terror and power exhibited in that raid was meant to send a message to the rest of us as well.

I pray the day will come when an adult Elian will renounce the Cuban government and become a free man.

In the meantime, Eric Holder must be held accountable for Fast and Furious. Call your reps and talk to people about it—our government worked to arm the Mexican drug cartels deliberately in order to faciltiate the murder of hundreds of Mexicans in order to enact more stringent gun laws here and to restrict the Second Amendment.

All that evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

Don’t “do nothing”.

I well recall that Eric Holder was Janet Reno's henchman during the Elian Gonzalez saga. In fact, I believe Holder was the one who prodded Reno into grabbing the boy and sending him back. I've detested Holder since then and I pray for his professional downfall.

Little known fact: Eric Holder was deputy under Janet Reno during the Clinton years.
His penchant for being a law unto himself goes way, way back and runs very, very deep.
