I do not begrudge Mr. Holder for working for a good firm with a very handsome compensation.

What kills me is that he has enjoyed a top notch education, fantastic employment, high government service, and a future that includes more fantastic employment and speaking engagements.

Yet he has always portrayed himself as a victim.

Yep. Eric Cantor skipped out on his last three months as an elected official after losing his reelection bid and went straight to a Wall Street investment bank for a nice tidy sum. I don't recall much outcry from the right at the time.

Coincidently, Holder's DOJ failed to bring up any charges against Wall Street fraudsters while he was in the office.


He's joined at that firm by many of his DOJ coworkers.


Of course the American public will just let it slide.


We truly have the government we deserve.


Why Eric Holder’s new job is an insult to the American public - Salon.com




Likely due to him working for them under the auspices of his Official position, running interference.

Actually, if you read the article, it says Holder isnt a hypocrite and THAT was the problem. They are saying he didnt do his job as AG.

No one in this thread dismissed it, they only pointed out that this is normal of Washington, and that most had no problem with it in the past.

He's not the AG anymore. He's in the private sector but the right continues to beach about the man.
