It has something to do with his boss being a "Centrist."

The very first item on Eric Holder's list after assuming the AG's Office was getting Alaska's corrupt Republican Senator Ted Stevens Out of Jail.
Meanwhile, the railroaded former Democratic Governor of Alabama, Don Seigelman,
can't get AG Holder to return his phone calls.

"Don WHO?"

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

....after 8 years of Bush-the-Lesser,
I was dismayed that Holder gave Rescuing Republican Ted Stevens his highest priority.

In fact, you can substitute just about any word in the blank...

It's not ___________ when they do it.

Fascism
Welfare
Racism
Socialism
Media bias
Lying
Astroturfing
Flip-flopping

Feel free to add to the list.

Has the office made a statement?

This is a conspiracy to commit a felony. According to his own writings, someone paid $50K for this effort, and the donor is also possibly a conspiracy member.
