Sean Hannity investigated a “shocking new study” on Holder..
excerpt:
HANNITY: After seven years of lining the pockets of terrorists, Chiquita admitted their wrongdoing to the Justice Department and hired and extremely influential man to bail them out, former deputy attorney general, Eric Holder.
Holder had left the DOJ after the Clinton administration and was now in private practice. On March 19, 2007, with Holder as lead counsel, Chiquita pleaded guilty to one count of, quote, “engaging in transactions with a specially designated global terrorist organization.”
Holder then brokered what some call a sweetheart deal in which Chiquita only had to pay a $25 million fine over five years, yet not one of the half dozen company officials who approved the payments would receive any jail time.
REITNER: The entire liability for the wrongdoing involved in supporting this terrorist organization was placed solely upon the corporation. The individual corporate officers, directors, and others who were the guilty parties, those people, as I said, got a complete pass.
HANNITY: Ironically, Holder’s stance on the criminal case contrast part of a 1999 document that he wrote while at the Justice Department, a document that became known as the “Holder Memorandum.”

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh testified Friday that Eric Holder played a role in a “corrupt” pardon. The Fraternal Order of Police chief said “we abhor” the clemency Holder supported for 16 Puerto Rican militants.
Nevertheless, they believe Holder would make a great attorney general.
The testimony of Freeh and national FOP President Chuck Canterbury on Friday, at Holder’s confirmation hearing, followed the strategy the attorney general-designate used himself the previous day:
Admit mistakes to take the bite out of Republican criticism. Then emphasize Holder’s positives from his years as deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., a judge and a public corruption prosecutor.
“The pardon of Mark Rich was a corrupt act,” Freeh told the Senate Judiciary Committee, referring to Bill Clinton’s pardon of the fugitive financier on his last day in office. “There is no other way that I could describe it. But it was not an act by Eric Holder.”
Freeh, following Holder’s lead, said the nominee’s past mistakes were a learning experience that will make him a better attorney general. Holder had told the White House he was neutral — leaning toward favorable — on the pardon.

Speaking of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder:
Eric Holder is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
