Eric Holder Faces Wrath Of Congress

Eric Holder

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, was slammed in Congress today, for indecisive and duplicitous answers, on whether the Obama administration intends to hold terrorist trials in populous Manhattan in New York and if they shall be in the civilian format, as opposed to military.

It seems odd that one can show up for a civil lawsuit, such as a contract or financial dispute and be seated in the same communal court areas as terrorist mass murderers. Something about that is somewhat off. Holder is in over his head at the Justice Department and it's showing.

FBI and NSA Wiretapping Ruled Illegal

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled the FBI and NSA's warantless wiretapping of Islamic charity, al-Haramain, was illegal. The ruling comes as a blow to the U.S. government.

However, one should follow the U.S. Constitution, as it is the law of the land and the Fourth Amendment was clearly violated in this case. If the government wanted to wiretap al-Haramain, they should have done so with a warrant and not trampled the U.S. Constitution. The international condemnation warantless wiretapping has caused, tarnished the government's name in the world.

Eric Holder

Disgraced Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has been slammed in Congress and the press, for a wide range of faux pas and failures, utilized the State Secrets defense, in an inexcusable bid to defend the indefensible, but the argument did not prevail in court.

Since when does the term "classified" (State Secrets) cover illegality. Inherently, if something is illegal, it cannot lawfully, ethically or legitimately be categorized "classified." Think about that.

Government held liable in warrantless wiretapping case

April 1, 2010 -- Updated 0102 GMT (0902 HKT) - San Francisco, California -- A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the government is liable for illegally wiretapping an Islamic charity without a valid search warrant.

The ruling in Northern California District Court reaffirmed an earlier decision that the warrantless wiretaps conducted on an Oregon-based Islamic non-profit organization were illegal.

In Wednesday's ruling, District Judge Vaughn R. Walker said the government is liable for damages from the illegal wiretapping.

Report: Eric Holder's Job In Jeopardy

Eric Holder

According to several mainstream reports, the job of U.S. Attorney, Eric Holder is in jeopardy. After upsetting the people of New York with preparations to hold terrorism trials in the vicinity of the September 11th crash site, embarrassing clashes and faux pas in Congress, making statements that contradicted U.S. generals in the Middle East and noted incidents of him hiding his legal briefs from Congress and separately Freedom of Information files from numerous requesters, Holder has not only fallen afoul of the American people, but the U.S. Congress as well...all in less than one year.

Holder's future uncertain amid terror trial disputes

Mar 21 07:30 PM US/Eastern - US Attorney General Eric Holder took office pledging a sharp shift away from the last administration's policies, but an apparent change of heart in the White House could see the top lawyer leave his job.

Holder, 59, is the first African-American to hold the top legal post, and was generally regarded with bipartisan respect when he took office.

But a series of gaffes, fights with both Republicans and Democrats, and apparent disagreements between him and the White House have left Holder looking increasingly embattled.

He came under renewed fire when he told lawmakers Tuesday that Osama bin Laden would not be captured alive, and that US officials would read legal rights to the Al-Qaeda leader's corpse.

But the ridicule and attacks that followed are only the latest blows Holder has faced in the 14 months since he took office pledging to reverse the worst "war on terror" legal abuses sanctioned by former president George W. Bush's administration.

Ultra-conservative activists have questioned his ethics and even his patriotism over his decision to hire lawyers who defended terror suspects to Justice Department posts...

Eric Holder Excoriated In Congress

Video: Holder: Osama Bin Laden Will Never Face US Trial

U.S. President Barack Obama chose friend, Eric Holder, to be the nation's Attorney General. Holder has gotten himself into more trouble during his first year than any Attorney General in recent memory.

He testified in Congress this week that mass-murdering terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, is legally comparable to cultist killer, Charles Manson. His response drew the anger of the Congressional committee, who firmly believes terrorists should not be tried in civilian court.

Manson and Bin Laden are not in the same league of bloodshed, with the latter's body count being in thousands, while the former's remains in single digits.

Holder also put his foot in his mouth by declaring Bin Laden will be tried in court as a dead person, prompting the U.S. military to release a statement that they seek to bring him in alive.

Eric Holder Slammed For Hiding Documents From The U.S. Congress

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder and President Barack Obama

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been slammed for hiding documents from Congress, relevant to his appointment to the post, by President Obama.

Holder authored reports and papers that needed to be submitted to Congress, during the time period they were vetting him for the job, but he hid them, which is a violation of the rules.

Mr. Holder seems to be fond of hiding documents, which tells the world he is not fit for the post. Following this line of corruption is going to get him in massive international trouble one day.
