Good day all. Do you remember Eric Holder? He holds the distinction of being the only Attorney General of the United States to be held in Contempt of Congress. He’s also considered one of the most corrupt AG’s we’ve had.
Recently, the Internal Revenue Service admitted what we’ve all known for years, that they had illegally targeted the Tea Party groups in a bald faced attempt to suppress them. The IRS, after years of being raked over the coals, finally apologized to the people and organizations they unlawfully targeted. Eric Holder thinks this was a really dumb thing to do. Here are the details from The Washington Times:
Former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said the Trump administration was wrong to have apologized to tea party groups snared in the IRS’s targeting scandal, saying it was another example of the new team undercutting career people at the Justice Department who’d initially cleared the IRS of wrongdoing.
“That apology was unnecessary, unfounded and inconsistent, it seems to me, with the responsibilities that somebody who would seek to lead the Justice Department should have done,” Mr. Holder said.
Considering that Holder is basically, an unindicted criminal, anything he says can and should be ignored. This is the same person who, in an attempt to suppress the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans, allowed thousands of guns to illegally cross into Mexico. These guns ended up killing hundreds of Mexican officials, men, women, children and at least one United States federal agent. Holder spent most of his time burying the evidence.
He’d ordered a criminal probe into the IRS’s handling of tea party applications after the 2013 revelation by an inspector general that the tax agency had subjected conservative groups to intrusive and inappropriate scrutiny when they applied for nonprofit status.
That probe eventually cleared the IRS, saying that while there was bungling, there was no ill intent. the probe specifically cleared former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner, saying rather than a problem, she was actually a hero, reporting bad practices when she spotted them.
We now know that this was a bald faced lie. What Holder’s Justice department did was cover up the crimes of the IRS and Lois Lerner. When President Trump took office, something that Holder and the rest of the Deep State swamp dwellers never anticipated, he brought in a few people to start looking into things.
The Justice Department reversed that finding, though, in settlements reached with tea party groups over the last year that singled Ms. Lerner out as having approved of the intrusive behavior and yet hidden the practices from her supervisors in Washington.
Then we have Holder’s opinion of the recent, and to date, only pardon issued by President Trump.
Mr. Holder also said Wednesday said that while he wouldn’t criticize the process used to pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, President Trump’s decision to do so was a “misuse” of the power.
The case that eventually led to Mr. Arpaio’s conviction for criminal contempt of court was originally brought while Mr. Holder was in charge of the Justice Department. Mr. Holder said that prosecution was “appropriate,” and the court proceedings were fair as well, so the pardon was misplaced.
“I think it was a misuse of the pardon process in that regard,” he told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.
There has been some serious questions asked regarding the prosecution. It had all the trappings of a political trial. As for the pardon being a “Misuse of the process”, Holder obviously had forgotten his role in the Clinton pardon of Marc Rich. Holder is a corrupt, racist thug who used his office to punish anyone who dared not toe the Obama line. He should be prosecuted for his actions, up to and including facilitating the murder of a federal agent. The fact that the Progressive Democrats in Kalifornistan hired him is all you need to know about his “Ethics.”
