Senator Chuck Grassley (R-I) recently questioned Eric Holder about an alarming conflict of interest circumstance that exists within the Department of Justice (DOJ). It turns out that Holder came to the DOJ from a firm (Covington and Burling) that specialized in the defense of a number of terrorists. Holder was involved in Clinton's decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of an organization that has been identified [by the FBI] as a terrorist organization [you might reference the Boricua Popular Army on this one]. He recently broke ranks with the FBI [once again] in giving an address to CAIR, a radicalized Muslim organization that is on a red flag list of our national intelligence organization. He called for and secured the end of prosecution for 3 convicted Black Muslims, charged and convicted in a voting precinct violence case last spring.
In addition to Holder's own "conflict of interest" issues as noted above, 9 other members of the DOJ have defended terrorists and were members of the Covington & Burling law firm. In fact, Holder has said there are "at least" nine such individuals, indicating, of course, there could be more. One would think 10 [counting Holder] would be enough.
Most disturbing in this story is the fact that the count of conflicted attorneys is the only bit information Holder was willing to give to Senator Grassley. Holder refused to
1) give the names of the nine he admitted were in the DOJ;
2) refused to offer information as to which terrorists were defended by these men;
3) refused to answer questions as to what these lawyers were currently doing as they continued their duties [whatever those are] within our Department of Justice.
One would think the Department of Justice belonged to the People, that we have a right to know the answer to these questions - apparently the People are way off based on this issue. Make no mistake, Holder is under the direct oversight of Mr. Obama - it is Obama's policy that is under the gun in this commentary. Just another reason why these people need to be gone as soon as possible --- jds.
