Was Eric Holder complicit in a political coverup during the Clinton Administration?

Excerpt:
On Dec. 21, 1994, Lamberth dismissed the suit against the government, but he asked U.S. Attorney Eric Holder (now deputy attorney general) to investigate whether Magaziner should be held in criminal contempt for supplying false information in his affidavit, filed March 3, 1993. The investigation turned on a single sentence in which Magaziner states, "Only federal government employees serve as members of the interdepartmental working group." Lamberth insisted that this sentence contradicted indisputable evidence that private citizens attended the working groups, and that some of them played supervisory roles. The judge was especially irritated by the presence of executives from managed-care conglomerates who stood to profit from the new legislation--exactly the sort of conflict of interest FACA was intended to check. Judge Lamberth says that the appeals court took at face value Magaziner's "only federal government employees" declaration when it ruled against the request for a temporary injunction.
Although Holder chided government lawyers for formulating a "sloppy," "overly aggressive" response to the AAPS lawsuit and took Magaziner to task for using ill-defined legalistic language supplied him by White House counsel Vincent Foster, he concluded his investigation by declining to prosecute Magaziner for criminal contempt. He found no factual errors in Magaziner's affidavit, and no evidence that he had intended to willfully mislead the court.

Past performance indicates otherwise. I've been screaming about his since I first found an article in the WAPO in 1997.
How much hypocrisy and illegalities have we witnessed when it comes to the RATS, especially the clintoon years? Too much. MSM covered up clintoon activities until the stench got too much for the general public to handle. BTW, it took 6 years for MSM to finally start reporting on his repeated WH womanizing.
But this guy is going to prosecute Bush administration for “politicizing the DOJ”
The Reps ought to be on top of this at the hearing and I wrote to Sen. Cornyn.
I also wrote Drudge and Malkin.
I’m at a loss as to what else I can do.
BTTT
Yeah, after Janet Reno kept EVERY investigation open so she could decline to comment on open investigations, it's Bush who is politicizing Justice.

The MSM knows Obama has plenty of cash to reward them for not holding his feet to the fire on anything. They already know there will be plenty of cash for Democrat political ads in the next election. So they will continue to support Obama their cash cow.

Thanks for the BTTT BUT we have thousands of Freepers and only seven are interested in this guy who will probably walk into the Atty General job with this kind of history.
Breaks my heart.
Bump it again.
Don’t know how to do that. Can you repost the same info?
