Eric Holder faced venom from 9/11 families, says NPR writer

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Listing Holder brouhahas (a short list), NPR has this:

Another huge controversy — over his decision to try the Sept. 11 plotters in a New York courthouse in the shadow of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center — prompted venomous reaction from lawmakers, New York City officials and some victims’ families.

Ah those venomous lawmakers, NYC officials, and some victims’ families, spewing as they go.

On the other hand, we find this from same writer:

. . . even longtime aides say Holder didn’t do enough to help himself by shrugging off preparations and moot sessions before congressional appearances and speaking off the cuff — and obliquely.

But nothing about his non-investigation of the IRS scandal, which would have put him perilously close to nailing his fellow Dems.

  1. We know we will get someone equally odious as a replacement, but there won’t be enough information about the person to damage the Dems in 2014. It doesn’t help to be importing illiterate illegals and even literate ones who have no appreciation of what kept America great. The word “kept” is deliberate. I think we are “toast.”
