Come clean, Mr. Holder

Whose side is the Justice Department on: America's -- or the terrorists'?

It's just insane that a lawyer who defended Osama bin Laden's driver and bodyguard -- and who sought constitutional rights for terrorists -- could be one of the Obama administration's top legal officials.

But there's Neal Katyal, occupying a top perch at the Justice Department as the principal deputy solicitor general.

Then there's Jennifer Daskal -- who just months ago was an anti-Guantanamo activist. Now she's in Justice's National Security Division -- working on detainee issues. Eric Holder Eric Holder

Talk about conflicts of interest.

All kinds of rules prohibit government employees from influencing policy to the benefit of their previous employers. If Katyal, Daskal and other conflicted Justice lawyers had worked for corporations, they'd almost certainly be subject to these regulations.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are hopping mad about the situation -- and rightly so. Months ago, Senate Judiciary Committee member Charles Grassley asked Attorney General Eric Holder to disclose who in the administration had previously represented or agitated for alleged terrorists.

The AG's reply?

"I will consider that request."

Holder must be thinking long and hard -- because committee members have yet to receive a response.

Meanwhile, they've started asking other questions of Justice -- like who came up with the brilliant idea to Mirandize undie-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, limiting the amount of intelligence he might provide about al Qaeda and future attacks.

With high-profile terror cases coming up -- like Abdulmutallab's, and the outrageous Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial in New York -- Americans need to know: Is our government putting in a good-faith effort when it comes to punishing the men who want to blow up our people?

The call to treat terrorists like civilians in court has been all Team Obama.

Attorney General Eric Holder, terrorists' best friend.

[Doogle]

Neal Katyal, the guy who Odumbo picked over Jamie Gorelick, eyep, the same who got 25 million from Fannie and left just before the collapse. The only reason she's not deputy AG....she backed Hilda, but later gave Odumbo $10,000, when she thought she locked up the deputy AG spot......

Thats Eric Bin Holder

[Candor7]

We are allowed to defend ourselves against criminals like Holder and his activist running dogs.

That fact should never be lost on anyone.

The people of America are at war with the US Dept. of Justice. Few know it yet. We do.

Do not forget. The US DOJ is the enemy of every US citizen. That is a fact that no longer can be ignored.

Americans should have a strict policy of non-cooperation with the US DOJ HENCEFORTH!!!

Every American NOW has an adversarial relationship with the Fed DOJ, funded by YOUR tax dollars.Everyone of us is a victim.

No one should so much as say hello to anyone from DOJ without hiring an attorney. AVOID HOLDER's DOJ like the plague!!!!

Holder needs to be Impeached, and we must do so after the coming November elections.PRIORITY ONE!!

Sure, Lindsey Graham is also hopping mad ... now.

Senate Panel Approves Holder Nomination For AG

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he supports Holder’s view that the country needs to interrogate terrorism suspects based on American values.

“I am confident this new attorney general will have a balanced approach and I look forward to working with him. I know he’s made mistakes and so have I,” Graham said.

USC to get new business building
Funds will come from leasing current building to Department of Justice

An estimated 250 Justice Department employees working in different locations near Washington, D.C., will be relocated to Columbia over an unspecified period.

Graham said U.S. taxpayers will save $42 million by having Justice Department employees working in South Carolina, which has lower costs than Washington.

“It was almost too good to be true,” Graham said of the plan. “But it proved to be true.”

Graham, a Republican, praised U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, both of whom were appointed by President Obama, a Democrat.

“I can’t thank Eric Holder and David Ogden enough,” Graham said, adding they offered their support for a leasing plan that was initiated during the administration of George W. Bush.

[Candor7]

Graham had no idea Holder was a fascist. Thats what is going on at DOJ. Truly. Most Americans can't even begin to face that fact of FASCISM. They are " It couldnlt happen here!" LOL.

IT IS HAPPENING HERE.... REGARDLESS OF WHAT LINDSEY GRAHAM SAID OR DID.

YOu EITHER GET IT, OR PRETTY SOON........YOU DIE, shortly after your rights are removed and you are dehumanized ( the two next steps)!

WORD!

We either do it this next election or we fight a civil war.Take your pick.

I didn’t realize Holder represented terrorists.

Talk about putting the fox in the henhouse.

All registered Democrats hate America....geeeeeeeeez

[Conservative Vet]

This asshat makes Janet Reno look good, which I didn’t think was possible. Eric Holder is evil and dangerous. Al Quaida of the Arabian Peninsula will succeed in an attack in the next couple of years and that will be the millstone that really sinks the Obama administration.

THE COCKEYED WORLD OF OHAHA AND HOLDER How many more poisonous snakes is the Ohaha admin nestling in its hateful progressive anti-America bosom?

We now learn: (a) Neal Katyal.......the lawyer who defended Osama bin Laden's driver and bodyguard -- and who sought constitutional rights for terrorists -- is one of the Obama administration's top legal officials, occupying a top perch at Justice as the principal deputy solicitor general. (b) Jennifer Daskal -- who just months ago was an anti-Guantanamo activist in now in Justice's National Security Division -- working on detainee issues.

The Al-Qaeda Bar (Big Law Firms Line Up to Represent Terrorists)
”Some of the nation’s wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of
millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the
transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have gone back to
terrorism and the job of trying to kill Americans.

The work of big American law firms on behalf of al Qaeda is drawing new attention since
Attorney General Eric Holder decided this month that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who
orchestrated the murder of over 3,000 9-11, is coming to New York City for trial. Holder
was a partner at Covington & Burling, which in 2005 gave one its attorneys an award for
aiding 17 Yemeni suspects at Guantanamo.”

A list of 10 of the largest American legal firms representing Guantanamo terror detainees:

Shearman & Sterling
Allen & Overy

Holland & Hart
Hunton & Williams

Graham had a clue or two ... yet he continues to play the “new maverick,” reaching across the aisle on cap and trade and amnesty. He’s a sell out. Some say he has his eye on Defense Secretary.

I didn’t realize Holder represented terrorists.

Eric Holder did not personally represent the GITMO terrorists that I am aware but he was a partner in a law firm that represented the GITMO terrorists and Holder brought those terrorist representing lawyers into the Department of Justice to set US Policy! Just as bad; maybe worse.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Holder and our esteemed chief executive are going to get a lot, and I mean a whole lot of innocent Americans killed.

I hope that they are both caught under the rubble, but that is not the way it works.

Go Tehran. Go China.

‘cause MY new presidential ‘copter wll let ME cook a meal (even) while under nuclear attack."”

If Obama thinks Obamacare was his Waterloo ...he is mistaken !!

The BIG FAILURE and the BIG OUT OF TOUCH with the American people will come over the KSM crowd going on trial in NY and DC ....IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN !!

ERIC HOLDER is going down and he will take Obama and the Democrat Party with him !!

$200 million to NY for these trials ....NEVER !!

The BUS isn't big enough .....for Obama to shove his entire DOJ under !!

Bring it on Obama ....hopefully in 2010 !! I can hardly wait for the fight !!
