34. Atty General Eric Holder is a victim of bad PR...........

Apr 2012

No other Atty General has been as successful as he at going after WEALTHY tax cheats. He, along with the State Department I assume has set the standard for twisting the arms of those closed-mouthed Swiss bankers.......getting these bankers to spill the beans on their tax cheating US clients. No press.

No other Atty General has been as successful at rolling up a couple of drug smuggling operations that involved so many dirty law enforcement agents that ratted out the king pins that they were able to get to the big people that run the operations and not just the losers that sell the drugs on street corners. No press.

Those are just two of the little-known, little-touted successes of Atty General Eric Holder....

Exactly. We can add Meese to that as some other poster noted. That is better than three. stevenleser Apr 2012 #14

We can also add John Mitchell. That makes Holder better than four recent Attorney Generals. nt stevenleser Apr 2012 #20
