In 1988, President Ronald Reagan appointed Holder to serve as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
Republicans keep calling Eric Holder corrupt, but only two Attorney's General have been convicted of crimes and sentenced to prison and they were both Republican.
Investigation finds no evidence AG Eric Holder knew of 'Fast and Furious' gun-running sting
A long-awaited report on the U.S. government’s controversial gun-trafficking operation known as “Fast and Furious” released Wednesday found no evidence that Attorney General Eric Holder knew of the botched effort to trace the flow of guns to Mexico’s drug cartels prior to its public unraveling in January 2011.
The report by the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz said there is "no evidence that ... Holder was informed about Operation Fast and Furious, or learned about the tactics employed by ATF in the investigation" before Congress began pressing him for information about it in early 2011.

There is no surprise here.
The Republicans just want to hate the black right off of Holder and Obama.
.Holder, in a statement issued immediately after the report's release, said its "key conclusions are consistent with what I, and other Justice Department officials, have said for many months now," that senior Justice Department officials were unaware of the "flawed strategy and tactics" that dated back to the administration of George W. Bush and made no effort to "cover up information or mislead Congress about it."
Holder also announced that Melson, who was transferred out of the top job at the ATF last year, was retiring, effective immediately. A second Justice Department official, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein, has resigned. The report said Weinstein failed to tell Attorney General Holder about problems with the Fast and Furious operation.
In all, 14 current federal employees were singled out in the report for potential disciplinary action
In Operation Fast and Furious and at least three earlier probes during the administration of Republican President George W. Bush, agents in Arizona employed a risky tactic called gun-walking — allowing low-level "straw" buyers in gun-trafficking networks to leave with loads of weapons purchased at gun shops. The goal of the tactic was to track the guns to major weapons traffickers and drug cartels in order to bring cases against kingpins who had long eluded prosecution under the prevailing strategy of arresting most low-level purchasers of guns who were suspected of buying them for others.
...
Operation Fast and Furious "was born from this strategy," the report concluded.

Wow.
Reagan appointed that ignorant fuck!
Guess we have to overlook that one and just remember him for doubling GDP, treasury revenues and kicking off a jobs boom that finally totaled 25 million new jobs or so!
LOL
