Attorney General Eric Holder has developed a bad habit of accusing others of acting in bad faith while doing so himself.
Take the issue of Guantanamo Bay. In Aspen, Colo., last week, Holder accused Congress of playing politics in preventing President Obama from closing the Gitmo detention center -- as Obama had promised to do within a year of his inauguration. But this accusation is disingenuous for a variety of reasons.
Obama campaigned on calls to reverse the Bush administration anti-terrorism protocols, charging that they were either unnecessary or counterproductive. Then, when invested with the responsibility of governance, he reversed himself on almost all of them -- tribunals, renditions, Iraq, the Patriot Act, targeted airborne assassinations and Guantanamo Bay. Holder himself once supported the detention of terrorists without regard for the Geneva Conventions. What made him so radically change his views?

Holder was instrumental in gaining the release of his law firm’s clients from Guantanamo. He is simply waiting on the remainder of the detainees to hire the services of Covington & Burling.
Eric Holder is not hypocritical.
He and the DOJ hate whites, Jews, Christians,
native borne Americans, the US Constitution,
and the rule of Law.
That makes him the penultimate Democrat. Can you expect him to do otherwise?
Make him resign and demand an Independent Council investigate all of the charges against him.

Everyone picked by obama was picked because they have a common mindset with obama.
Black revolutionary marxists of a feather hang together.
A person who says he is going to decide if there is going to be equal protection of the laws does not belong in the Justice Department.
