I’m speechless.

As you probably know, the law firm where Eric Holder is a senior partner, Covington & Burling, has about 20 pro bono clients who are terrorist detainees. The goal of Holder's attempt to criminalize the War on Terror is to create a legal environment that allows terrorists to sue the U.S. for “torture,” false imprisonment, denial of due process, etc. Holder's proposal to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Manhattan Federal Court had a similar motive. To put KSM and the rest of the Guantanamo human garbage in an arena where Holder's cronies might reap millions.

As a deputy attorney general under Reno, Holder's shameless advocacy of a pardon for fugitive Marc Rich—frequently on the FBI’s Most Wanted list in the 1990’s—marked Holder for life as a sleazy, crooked lawyer. That makes him ideal for Obama.
