Eric Holder and Loretta E. Lynch have been perhaps the most flagrant partisans ever to hold the office of attorney general.
Year after year, they rubber stamped whatever the Obama administration wanted to do, legally or otherwise.
...
The attorney general, who heads the Justice Department, takes an oath to enforce federal laws and uphold the Constitution. We’re at the tail end of an administration in which the highest legal office in the land was weaponized along racial lines and openly attacked laws that the progressive left disliked, such as the federal Defense of Marriage Act and state voter ID statutes.
Under Mr. Holder, the Justice Department looked the other way as the Internal Revenue Service harassed tea parties and conservative groups. He aided and abetted the administration’s violations of labor law, environmental law and provisions of Obamacare again and again. He ignored the Federal Communications Commission’s unconstitutional seizure of authority over the internet. He actually sued states for helping to enforce federal immigration law.
...
Under Mr. Holder, the department stonewalled congressional investigations into the Fast and Furious scandal, in which federal agents inexplicably provided guns to Mexican drug cartels, including a weapon that killed a federal agent.
Even an ideologically divided Supreme Court routinely rejected the Obama Justice Department lawyers’ zany reasoning. From January 2012 to June 2013 alone, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected the Justice Department’s absurd positions nine times....
Finally, the Justice Department’s and FBI’s mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal is in a class by itself, epitomized by Ms. Lynch’s meeting with Bill Clinton aboard a plane at the Phoenix airport supposedly to discuss their grandchildren. Right.
...
When the Alabama senator takes the reins, the Justice Department will once again be worthy of its name.

Both Holder and Lynch refused to enforce federal immigration law. My question, where in hell was congress? Why did they not impeach both for not protecting our citizens?
That has been the worst thing about this administration, the politicizing of the DOJ and FBI.

It has become the Department of “Just-Us”.
Under Holder and Lynch it has been the Just Us Dept.
Special treatment for their people. Holder stated that plainly.
That’s why he dropped the case against the Black Panthers even after they had gotten a summary judgment against them.

Because the leadership and significant numbers of the GOP in the Senate and House did not want the laws enforced.
That’s why they refused to sue to stop Obama’s first illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DACA.
It took the states suing to stop his second illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DAPA.
Until we voters of the 7th district of VA Cantorized our weasel in June 2014 they were going to pass Rubio’s amnesty using Democrat votes in the House.
The plan was to get that issue off the table to clear Yeb!’s path for the nomination as Designated Loser.
They knew his support of amnesty would be an albatross around his neck.
“My question, where in hell was congress? Why did they not impeach both for not protecting our citizens?”
Each member of our political class is irredeemably corrupt and depraved, R&D, including those that Trump has selected.
I don’t know who actually has a say in whether or not the death penalty is administered at the federal level. It’s been my understanding that it was withheld because of Obama’s preference.
Many families have suffered as a result of the failure to uphold justice, their pain extended as they were denied the justice that the juries declared. These families have not been able to close their ‘accounts’ with tragedy as a result of Obama’s lack of mercy toward them. But, Obama will uphold the right to murder the innocent. Sick.
I do hope Atty. General Sessions and President Trump are serious in their desire to respect the rule of law. Either or both should receive letters from the families who’ve been denied Justice. It’s a part of the swamp that needs cleansing.
...and the CIA
Holder was impeached by the House. The senate could not get the votes needed because the dems are so corrupt in general.
As always the dems do not see right and wrong or legal and illegal the same way normal people do. For dems as long as the end justifies the means; nothing is wrong or illegal.
More proof the leftist ideology is a mental disease which should be eradicated medically or some other way to be determined.
And the IRS...
IRS also
<>My question, where in hell was congress?<>
Congressmen and Senators ALWAYS do what is best for the country in accordance with the Constitution . . . as long as it doesn’t threaten reelection.
Holder was held in contempt of the Congress
