Eric Holder’s abdication
By Dana Milbank, WashPost, Published: May 15
As the nation’s top law enforcement official, Eric Holder is privy to all kinds of sensitive information. But he seems to be proud of how little he knows.
Why didn’t his Justice Department inform the Associated Press, as the law requires, before pawing through reporters’ phone records?
“I do not know,” the attorney general told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday afternoon, “why that was or was not done. I simply don’t have a factual basis to answer that question.”
Why didn’t the DOJ seek the AP’s cooperation, as the law also requires, before issuing subpoenas?
“I don’t know what happened there,” Holder replied. “I was recused from the case.”

for a man who oversees the top law enforcement agency in the land, this clown sure doesn't know much about what goes on inside the department he is charged with leading.
But, hey he's a liberal Democrat and a minority, too, so it's OK that he's a complete hack and incapable of doing his job. It's more important to use the gears of power to wage war against your political opponents.
