The 7 most ridiculous things Eric Holder has said and done

The 7 most ridiculous things Eric Holder has said and done | Rare
Today he announced that he’s stepping down.
Let’s take an opportunity to remember some of his most truly outrageous moments.
Racial justice in New Haven
When the New Haven Fire Department announced that it had openings for firefighters, an exam was administered for qualified applicants. A number of test-takers passed, but there was a problem: none of them were African Americans. On this basis, the city of New Haven declared the test results null and void.
Behaving like a child
Congressman Louie Gohmert got the opportunity to cross-examine Holder in 2012 over the Boston Marathon bombings. Gohmert and Holder had a tense exchange that ended with Gohmert bungling his words and declaring, “The attorney general will not cast aspersions on my asparagus!” Fast-forward to 2013 and Gohmert and Holder were going at it again. Holder ended his side of the argument by sneering, “Good luck with your asparagus.”
Eric doesn’t know, Eric doesn’t know
Speaking of congressional testimonies, Eric Holder was repeatedly summoned before various committees over the years, usually related to one of the many scandals that plagued his department. Holder usually responded by mimicking a mid-level manager who had just started his job earlier that week, scratching his head and saying he just didn’t know.
The only sitting Cabinet member held in contempt of Congress
This one mostly speaks for itself.
Spying on and intimidating journalists
A good Justice Department should seek to enforce the First Amendment. Not so Eric Holder’s.
“I’m proud to be an activist attorney general”
In an August interview with Juan Williams, Holder boldly proclaimed that he was proud to accept the label of “activist attorney general.” He also declared: “Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job.”
Drone ‘em at home too — actually, never mind
You may recall the controversial secret memos drawn up by Judge David Barron, which provided legal justification for the Yemen drone strike that killed American citizens without a trial. This underhanded justification, along with the appointment of CIA Director John Brennan and an alarming letter from Eric Holder, sparked Senator Rand Paul to speak for 13 hours in a filibuster.
