’1 of the worst attorneys general in history’

Holder nemesis on mission to hold 'race-baiter' accountable to rule of law

WASHINGTON – Few, if any, people in Washington know what it’s like to go up against Eric Holder’s Justice Department better than attorney Tom Fitton, and he is scathing in his summation of the attorney general’s tenure, calling him “one of the worst in history.”

“I guess one could do worse than Eric Holder as an attorney, but I’d be hard pressed to think of a worse record out there, particularly in the modern era,” Fitton told WND.

The Washington attorney and president of Judicial Watch said Holder’s record was tainted “in terms of the corruption, not only his personal corruption, but his willingness to place politics, ideology and race-baiting above the rule of law.”

Fitton called Holder too “woefully lacking in ethics” to be attorney general and speculated that whatever is causing him to resign, it is “for all the wrong reasons.”

Holder announced Thursday he intends to resign, effective once a successor is confirmed.

“I don’t believe it is any coincidence, as we break new ground in the IRS scandal and Fast and Furious. … He wants out,” Fitton said in a phone interview.
