In reply to the discussion: Eric Holder NEEDS to be fired, enough is enough [View all]Smarmie Doofus
(14,498 posts).... then I saw this:
>>>In 2004, Holder helped negotiate an agreement with the Justice Department for Chiquita Brands International in a case that involved Chiquita's payment of "protection money" to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a group on the U.S. government's list of terrorist organizations.[22][23] In the agreement, Chiquita's officials pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $25 million. Holder represented Chiquita in the civil action that grew out of this criminal case.[23] In March 2004, Holder and Covington & Burling were hired by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to act as a special investigator to the Illinois Gaming Board. The investigation was subsequently canceled on May 18, 2004.[24]>>> wiki
I guess it's hard to practice law w/o getting one's hands a little dirty , but.... Holder's a little scary.
