Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department

By: American Decency Staff

The evidence is clear that Eric Holder and his political subordinates have politicized the Justice Department to an unprecedented degree — “worse than John Mitchell under Richard Nixon” one former Justice Department lawyer told the authors.  This is quite a criticism given that many DOJ veterans believe that the Department reached its nadir under Mitchell.  But Mitchell seems like an amateur by comparison to how Holder has corrupted the law enforcement duties of the Justice Department to carry out the political objectives of Barack Obama and to implement his radical ideology.

The many cases in which judges have accused DOJ prosecutors of engaging in prosecutorial abuse during Holder’s tenure show, unfortunately, how this high-level corruption has also seeped into the lower levels of the Department.  The political hiring into the civil service- protected career ranks that has gone on in parts of DOJ like the Civil Rights Division guarantees that radical ideologues will continue to trouble the Department long after Holder and his unethical, biased political appointee subordinates are long gone. Most political appointees leave when an administration ends, but appointees and their political allies who have burrowed down into career positions will be there for decades.
