Is Attorney General Eric Holder a Ringer for Karl Rove?

COMMENT: In a For The Record series [1] pro­duced between Oba­ma’s elec­tion [2] and his inau­gu­ra­tion [3], we not­ed that Oba­ma’s Chica­go polit­i­cal milieu [4] was inex­tri­ca­bly linked with [5] the  Karl Rove/Bank Al-Taqwa/­Ta­lat Oth­man con­cate­na­tion that was the focal point  of the Oper­a­tion  Green Quest inves­ti­ga­tion.

(Green Quest was the inves­ti­ga­tion of ter­ror­ist fund­ing, and cul­mi­nat­ed in the 3/20/2002 raids that exposed Oth­man, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove [6] and their pro­found involve­ment with the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood [7] milieu involved with fund­ing Hamas and Al Qae­da.)

In that dis­cus­sion, we won­dered if Oba­ma was being “badjacketed”–set up for dis­cred­it­ing if he did not coop­er­ate with the pow­ers that be. We revis­it­ed that analy­sis [5]dur­ing our series on the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring in 2011. Oba­ma might eas­i­ly have had a ter­ror­ist alba­tross hung around his neck because of his con­nec­tions to the Rove/Green Quest milieu.

One won­ders if his coop­er­a­tion with the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring oper­a­tion (begun under the George W. Bush admin­is­tra­tion) might have been man­dat­ed by the poten­tial dirty laun­dry to be washed should Oba­ma’s Chicago/Rove/Al-Taqwa con­nec­tions have come to light.

The inci­sive Legal Schnau­zer blogspot informs us that Attor­ney Gen­er­al Eric Hold­er’s for­mer law firm is deeply con­nect­ed to Karl Rove and that they active­ly blocked the release of Rove’s e‑mails to inves­ti­ga­tors seek­ing access to them. That access might very well have shed light on the scan­dal sur­round­ing the fir­ing of U.S. attor­neys and the naked­ly polit­i­cal pros­e­cu­tion of for­mer Alaba­ma gov­er­nor Don Siegel­man.

Giv­en Karl Rove’s pen­chant for “bad­jack­et­ting,” one must won­der to what extent Hold­er was select­ed pre­cise­ly because of his vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty in this regard, and to what extent the Rove/Othman/Chicago links to Oba­ma may have fig­ured in Hold­er’s selec­tion.

Many have puz­zled over the Oba­ma admin­is­tra­tion’s fail­ure to pros­e­cute the crim­i­nal estab­lish­ment that the Bush admin­is­tra­tion embod­ied. By the same token there have been no effec­tive pros­e­cu­tions of the hye­nas of Wall Street for their will­ful sub­ver­sion of the U.S. and glob­al economies. The pos­si­bil­i­ty that Rove and com­pa­ny may have Eric Hold­er (and, per­haps, Barack Oba­ma) by the short hairs is one to be con­sid­ered.

The Holder/Covington & Burling­ton con­nec­tion might also explain aspects of the blood­let­ting in Alaba­ma [8]. If the GOP mur­der­ers who have dis­patched Major Bushin­sky and oth­ers had a “man on the inside” in this scheme, it would cer­tain­ly facil­i­tate the tar­get­ing and cover-up of the vic­tims.

And, yes, the term “GOP mur­der­ers” is redun­dant.

“Hold­er’s Law Firm Brags about Its GOP Ties”; Legal Schnau­zer; 8/18/2009. [9]

EXCERPT: We recent­ly learned that Attor­ney Gen­er­al Eric Hold­er’s old law firm has alarm­ing­ly close ties to the Repub­li­can Nation­al Com­mit­tee (RNC) and key fig­ures from the George W. Bush admin­is­tra­tion.

Now we learn that the firm, Cov­ing­ton & Burl­ing, actu­al­ly brags on its Web site about its role in help­ing pro­tect Karl Rove’s e‑mails that were stored on RNC servers.

Alaba­ma attor­ney and Siegel­man-case whistle­blow­er Jill Simp­son helped break the ini­tial report about Hold­er’s old firm. And Dou­glas Yates, an alert Legal Schnau­zer read­er from Fair­banks, Alas­ka, has added to it by reveal­ing that Cov­ing­ton & Burl­ing actu­al­ly brags about its hand­i­work on behalf of the RNC–and Karl Rove.

Yates spot­ted this gem on the C & B Web site:

“We rep­re­sent­ed the Repub­li­can Nation­al Com­mit­tee in con­nec­tion with inves­ti­ga­tions by the House Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee and House Over­sight and Gov­ern­ment Reform Com­mit­tees regard­ing US attor­ney fir­ings and the host­ing of e‑mail accounts for White House offi­cials.”

Simp­son says Hold­er’s con­flicts of inter­est could not be more clear. And they cov­er both the U.S. attor­ney fir­ings and polit­i­cal pros­e­cu­tions, such as the Don Siegel­man and Paul Minor cas­es:

“It seems Cov­ing­ton denied the RNC e‑mails to the House Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee on the fir­ing of the nine U.S. attor­neys and the polit­i­cal pros­e­cu­tions. What that means is that Hold­er’s very firm denied the e‑mails in the Don Siegel­man case, and the Paul Minor case. In fact they have been the ones nego­ti­at­ing with Con­gress, and I don’t believe they have ever turned over the RNC e‑mails at Chat­tanooga. So there you have it–Holder’s firm pro­tect­ed Karl Rove from turn­ing over the e‑mails on the nine U.S. attor­neys and the Siegel­man and Minor mat­ters, all while Hold­er was at that firm.”
