Eric Holder & DoJ Spent Millions Of Taxpayer Dollars On Unreported Personal Travel

Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

As the Attorney General of these United States, Eric Holder is the top legal advisor for the entire nation. As such, he has been in a position to help punish financial criminals and the mega-banks for the crimes they committed in the run-up to the financial crisis, and the egregious looting thereafter.

Despite his unique role, Eric Holder has spent the past five years taking absolutely zero action on any matter of national significance. In fact, his major claim to fame appears to be that he has solidified the creation of a group of untouchable criminals known as the “Too Big to Jail” class.

So what does Eric Holder do in his spare time, you know, when he isn’t coddling financial oligarchs and running firearms into Mexico? Apparently, according to a recent study from the non-partisan Government Accountability Office, he likes to hop on government planes for personal trips at taxpayer expense. Serfs up suckers!

From The Washington Post:

The agency that tracks federal travel did not report hundreds of personal and other “non mission” trips aboard government planes for senior Justice Department officials including Attorney General Eric Holder and former FBI Director Robert Mueller, according to a watchdog report.

 

Congress’s nonpartisan Government Accountability Office determined that the 395 flights cost taxpayers $7.8 million. But the General Services Administration, which oversees trips aboard federal jets, did not require documentation because of a GSA reporting exemption that covers intelligence agencies, even in cases of unclassified personal travel.

 

The findings, released Thursday, came out nearly 19 months after Republican lawmakers began questioning Holder’s use of an FBI jet for travel unrelated to Justice Department work. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked the GAO to look into the matter.

 

For security reasons, attorneys general are required to use non-commercial flights when they fly, and they have access to Defense Department jets. However, they must reimburse the government for personal trips.

Oh right, good luck with that. I’m more likely to have dinner with the Easter Bunny tonight.

Full article here.

In the spirit of this article, I suggest watching this classic Eric Holder video clip that I highlighted last year. Enjoy:

Come on everyone acts all surprised, all these politicians do is rubber stamp whatever the bankers want them to, then they get in the limo drive around doing blow off a transvestites ass crack.

Thats all they do.

They dont sit there and write laws, they just sit there and wait for the printer to generate random giberish that no one reads then they show up to vote and pretend we have a government, then they get their check in the mail-> back to doing blow.

Holder normally flies on a US Government version of the G5. This is a serious plane....cost is north of $70 million USD + pilots + maintenance + flight crew + fuel. Operating cost is probably between $10K and $15K per hour but if you add in depreciation probably much higher. 

The sad thing is that I was taught by my father that to fly on a G5 you needed to be a businessman and add value to the world which would reward you with a G5. Dad didn't say anything about race mongering, corrupt, gun smuggling, ignornant politicians helping themselves to a G5 at my expense.

I must admit, this issue continues to piss me off.

Eric Holder is an evil and corrupt man. He looks the other way for his Too Big to fail clan with any illegal activity.

My guess is that they don't want to have there private parts touched and groped and they are frightened that on a public flight someone may knock their teeth out. So they need to be protected from what they did and implemented, ego Private/.Gov jets. They are special and above the blue glove we must endure.

The only reason Holder and Prezidont Zero haven't been lynched is because 3/4 of the the cunt-ry would call it racism...and 'we don't want to be raycists'.  I'm so far past worrying about sterotypes...I'll accept being called a raycist.

A number of reasons really. You see, the prosecutors office is very often the minor league training ground of future politicians. Prosecutors get to practice things like lying to the public and juries, misrepresenting and supressing evidence, and playing God by deciding which cases to pursue and which cases to bury. Countless prosecutors move on to high political office after burying the opponents and skeletons of those who support them.

 

Most prosecutors don't give a flying fuck about justice. Most of them only care about their next job or political appointment. They care about appearances and what might make them look good or look bad. However, in the case of high level prosecutors like Holder, appearances don't matter much. They are untouchable political hacks that actively protect, and are in turn protected by, grossy corrupt political regimes.

1) If you're looking for the smartest man in the room - it ain't him.

2) Corrupt - absolutely.

3) Because Obama.

This article is FALSE, HATEFUL AND RACIST. As proof I distinctly remember early in Obama's presidency that he cracked down on corporate jet travel.

He's very comfortable with Barry's Chicago style of corruption and deceit.  When Illinois had so many governors doing time criminals have to admire politicians  from Illinois, like Obama and his clan.

His boss has it much easier; he reads a teleprompter.  I want to see Obama in a hearing in Congress.  I think all presidents should have hearings in Congress instead of sending their lackeys.
