Holder Lied… Attorney General Failed to Reveal 7 Legal Briefs During Confirmation
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, March 12, 2010, 11:00 PM
Another day… Another Obama scandal involving another Obama radical.
Attorney General Eric Holder failed to tell the US Senate about 7 legal briefs he signed during his nomination process.
Reuters reported:
Attorney General Eric Holder failed to tell the Senate about seven legal briefs he signed when lawmakers considered his nomination to his current job, according to a letter released on Friday.
Two of the briefs involved appeals to the Supreme Court for Jose Padilla, who sought release from a military prison in South Carolina where he was being held after then-President George W. Bush designated him an “enemy combatant.”Padilla was held in a military brig for three years before his case was moved to a criminal court in Miami, where he was convicted on charges of offering his services to militants.
The Justice Department sent the Senate Judiciary Committee, which vets presidential nominees, a list of briefs that were omitted on Friday. “We regret the omission,” Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said in a letter to the panel.
Paul at Power Line added this:
Senator John Kyl is skeptical of Attorney General Eric Holder’s claim that forgetfulness explains his failure to inform the Senate of his role in a brief supporting the position of terrorist Jose Padilla. Kyl asks: “Are we expected to believe that then-nominee Holder, with only a handful of Supreme Court briefs to his name, forgot about his role in one of this country’s most publicized terrorism cases?”
It’s not an easy thing to believe. I still remember the handful of Supreme Court matters I worked on, peripherally, as a government lawyer in the 1970s.
More… The Holder Justice Department shut down investigations into ACORN.

This is why Holder won’t tell us about his Jihadi Lawyers. He IS a jihadi lawyer.
Valerie commented:
Holder was at Covington & Burling. Lawyers at big law firms are required to keep a list of clients, because they have to pass on conflicts questions fairly often.
Assuming Holder has early Alzheimers, Covington doesn’t.

Wow! I’m thinking, could this be treason?
Beware, folks, not only are the American people to become subject to a fascist dictatorship, we are about to fall prey to an Islamo-Marxist dictatorship – precisely if this “healthcare”, read – power-grab – goes through.
We need to have a serious discussion about the parallel government of Obamist (Husseinist) “czars”. Congress is about to be marginalized. The Constitution is being destroyed. The protective lines that separate the 3 branches of government (executive, legislative and judicial) have already been blurred.
The idiot Massa, perhaps accidentally, blurted it out. He questioned why Rahmbo (the WH thug) was is the Congressional showers. Indeed, even the showers for the legislative branch should be separate from those of the executive.
The hideous “dominatrix” Pelosi also said something very telling about the fake “healthcare” bill. She said that it has to pass so you can see what’s inside it. Exactly – because it has NOTHING to do with healthcare and EVERYTHING to do with power.
Get on the phones, write those emails, make your voices heard NOW!!!!! This power-grab to dictatorship must be stopped in its tracks.

Like hell you do. Obama needs to be removed from office. He and the rest of his cancer is spread throughout this government.
GET THE LIARS PAPERS. BIRTH CERTIFICATE, COLLEGE RECORDS.
Yes, he lied about that too!
Quit letting this Indonesian citizen ruin our nation. Do we have to wait until our whole health care system is destroyed too?

i’ve searched for a quote that seems very much
in line with today but just can’t find it……. something along the lines of fighting back when little or no blood would be shed – fighting back even though victory is not assured – fighting back when there is no hope for victory but it’s better than being slaves. like dope dealers they inticite you with cheap thrills until
they own you……
nick commented:
Anyone know the subject of the remaining 5 missing briefs? They may tell us more about where Obama and Holder want to take the DOJ, as if we don’t already know. See Andy McCarthy’s excellent “The Case for Full Disclosure” (WSJ, March 13).
Aside: Isn’t it convenient that the it’s now the DOJ that’s apologizing for Holder’s “omissions”?
XBradTC commented:
What’s really frustrating is, he’ll get away with this lie.
The Dems aren’t gonna make a stink about it, and they control all the committees.
And if the GOP holds on to this past the mid-terms, they just look petty. Holder can always just bail then to “spend more time with his family.” AGs don’t change every day, but they change often enough.
Eden commented:
Don’t you think there are probably already scores of lawyers just waiting for a majority electorate so they can help start impeachment? They might win a few battles, but they won’t ultimately win their war against the American people.
donh commented:
Acts of High Treason have already taken place. One of Holder’s lackies is Jennifer Daskal. She worked for Human Rights Watch and represented Libyian terrorists at Gitmo. She is the connection between Obama and the treasonous act of releasing terrorist Pan Am bomber Al Magrahi on a cancer hoax. HRW flew to Tripoli when Colin Powel’s chief spy in Libya “curveball” was found dead by hanging….http://www.economist.com/node/14400737/comments…Human Rights Watch is intimately involved in every aspect of Lybian diplomacy. Media reports account that HRW flew to tripoli the day after a request was filed to release Al magrahi on ” humanitarian ” grounds. …..” It is also perhaps noteworthy that Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, Colin Powell’s infamous “Curveball”, conveniently hanged himself in his prison cell in Tripoli on or about May 7, 2009, the day after Tripoli formally submitted their requests for al Magrahi’s release under the Prison Transfer Agreement (PTA) Brown and Straw had put in place without consulting Scotland. Human Rights Watch visited Tripoli immediately following al-Libi’s suicide. They overruled suicide based on his devout Muslim beliefs which prohibit suicide

Or worse, until we’re living under Sharia law.
archer52 commented:
Of course he lied. He is on a mission, just like Obama and all his supporters. “the ends justify the means” is a long time favorite saying of the left. They learned it from the Master- Mao.
We are in a lot of trouble here and the fog of the “revolution” is on purpose. While we resist on healthcare, they crank down on upper education, while we are frightened by the EPA, they think about sealing off more of our land.
Like I’ve said many times before, the problem with being inside a revolution is one of perspective. You simply cannot get far enough away from the whole picture to see it. They are counting on our blindness to get through as much as possible before the window of opportunity closes.

Valerie commented:
According to the code of ethics, attorneys are required to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Attorney generals are supposed to ride herd on the ethics of their department. They are supposed to be sticklers for propriety, so that the people can take comfort that the decisions of the Department of Justice are … just.
Just sayin’

AG Eric Holder lied? I’m shocked …, shocked, I say!!!

Holder would need to shut down ACORN investigations because the truth would be revealed about Obama’s dealings with them – can’t have that – the truth ‘n all coming out.

Black Panther Party
Obama, al Mansour
al Mansour, Black Panther Party
there are many more dots that connect (ie: Wright is an x-Muslim
/Black Nationalist who attended Howard U as did Don/ald Warden
aka: al-Mansour), but as you can plainly see, the connections come
full circle..
not to mention Obama having Eric Holder drop charges
against the Black Panthers (and God knows what else)..
