I agree, palo....very intelligent posts. And why, again, did Holder keep his post? Oh, yeah....couldn't replace everyone all at once, as I remember. Now if guilty corporate individuals can offer up a Mea Culpa and go free, we're still in the Clinton time warp.

Thanks for posting this, JR.

OK,

The change in the corporation rule happened in 1999 and according to Alamo-Girl, Holder's actions made Reno look like a choirmemember at the DOJ. Hard to even for me to believe.

The Asst. Atty. Gen. position requires Senate confirmation and I don't know if Holder was fired immediately after Bush was elected. If not, Holder was left in place to fester and contaminate the new Bush Justice Department. Based on the trouble that a Republican-dominated house had confirming Ashcroft, there might have been a concerted effort by the Democrats to let him corrode the Federal Justice system as long as legally possible. After Ashcroft was nominated, the Senate started to process the lower-rung nominees in the DOJ but Jumpin' Jeffords messed up the Senate and delayed Senate confirmations even more. I checked to see if Holder is still on staff but thankfully, he is no longer on the Federal payroll.
