The U.S. launched a new initiative on Sunday aimed at battling large-scale public corruption in foreign states.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative at the African Union Summit in Uganda. In addition to tackling the lucrative field of public bribes, the new initiative is also aimed at recovering public money and redirecting it to its intended use.
As head of the Department of Justice, Holder said the U.S. has been assembling a team of prosecutors who will be devoted exclusively to the initiative. He emphasized that African countries must strengthen their judicial systems in tandem with the efforts to prosecute corrupt public officials.
“[I] know that prosecution is not the only effective way to curb global corruption,” Holder said in prepared remarks at the African Union summit. “We will continue to work with your governments to strengthen the entire judicial sector, a powerful institution in our democracy which depends on the integrity of our laws, our courts, and our judges.”
“We must also work with business leaders to encourage, ensure, and enforce sound corporate governance. We should not, and must not settle for anything less.”

WTF? Just stick to handling U.S. Sovereign issues you globalist Fascist.
Damn dirty Irish. /s
WHAT ..?????
When is he going to investigate corruption in his own department!!
The folks in other countries just look in amazement at the stupidity of at all and shake their heads at the foolish Americans..
“Rather than taking open bribes,” Holder said, “we will show you how to extort money, such as $20 billion from a company we threatened to destroy, given to our regime as a slush fund outside of the normal controls of the legal system.”
“Also,” Holder added, “we will show you how to extract hundreds of billions of dollars from your citizens as ‘stimulus’ which can be used to reward government employees and spread around to other loyal supporters, especialy at election time.”
I thought 0 might go to Scotland to golf, silly me. Golf seems more important then the people of this country that are losing their jobs, homes & retirement plans.
Please tell me this is satire.
Is that what he gets paid for?
MISSION CREEP!
He’d be well advised to begin with the US.
Praise be Obomba. Holder has fixed the crime problem in the US, and is now moving on to other countries.
He won’t spend tax dollars to prosecute Black Panthers but will waste our money helping African countries end corruption???
How about getting rid of the corruption in the WH and Congress first, Holder, you world-class douchebag!
This activity is independent of the UN. This is on the US own initiative.
What do we learn of next ... most of this has been going on for decades. The US has been sending DOJ people to facilitate nation building and rebuilding for some time; State Department facilitates the establishment of two-party political charades (modeled after the GOP v. DEM party model) in foreign countries too. "Entangled in foreign affairs" is pretty much hidden from view.
There are always a few white people for Holder to
attack somewhere. In America. In Africa. Around the world.
Holder leads the attack on whites by the Department
of JustBlacks.
We don't have adults in charge of the country.
We are watching a Saturday Night Live cast doing skits in Washington, D.C.
“Like President Obama, I believe that the 21st century will be shaped by what happens here in Africa,” said Holder-————————OMG, wake up America! Team Shabazz is at it again. One more step in the demarginalization of white America and another nail in the coffin of American exceptionalism. He has done more to harm race relations in this country than all the KluKluxKlanners put together.
“The U.S. launched a new initiative on Sunday aimed at battling large-scale public corruption in foreign states.”
That way he can avoid dealing with the governmental corruption here in Washington, D.C..
