While US Attorney General, Eric Holder Used Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Birth Name as His Official Email
vice news ^ | 2/25/16 | Jason Leopold

Former US Attorney General Eric Holder is a huge fan of NBA hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

So much so that Holder used Abdul-Jabbar's birth name, Lew Alcindor, as an alias for his official Department of Justice (DOJ) email account, raising more questions about the email practices of top Obama administration officials, and about the ability of US government agencies to track down correspondence in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

The Lew Alcindor revelation was made in a February 16 letter that DOJ sent to VICE News and Ryan Shapiro, a historian and doctoral candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who specializes in national security research.

"For your information," the letter said, "e-mails in the enclosed documents which use the account name 'Lew Alcindor' denote e-mails to or from former Attorney General Holder."

The letter was part of about 500 pages of heavily redacted emails and other documents [pdf at the end of this story] given to VICE News and Shapiro in response to a FOIA lawsuit filed in late 2014. The documents show that Justice Department officials sent emails to Lew Alcindor regarding calls from lawmakers for a federal investigation into claims that CIA personnel spied on Senate staffers while the Senate was drafting a report about the CIA's torture program. Holder's name does not appear anywhere in his Lew Alcindor email account.

Elect a grifting traitor to run the country, who then appoints a black racist and former college rioter to run the justice department, and a known liar and seller of national secrets to run the State Department.

Then act surprised when they treat the country like their own personal treasury and police force.

“...Abdul-Jabbar’s birth name, Lew Alcindor...”

His birth name was Ferdinand Alcindor.

Notice that the “Lew Alcindor” email name had NO DOJ office identification on it unlike the other names.

This is how they covered up the real recipient. They should subpoena the sender’s emails to see how they set up this fake Holder email address.

Do I hear jail calling?

Obama’s email hasn’t yet been compromised BUT I have it on good authority that it’s Benedict Arnold.
