Holder was an extortionist so using him as an exam

Holder was an extortionist so using him as an example of the DOJ is not only flawed but stupid.

I used him as an example of the Justice Dept. going after 'white' collar crime as opposed to not going after anything that wasn't 'black' related.

And I pointed out that while securing $ billions in settlements for $ billion crimes, he stopped short of criminal prosecution.

Are you saying that these banks were innocent of financial malpractice, and that they settled because they were 'extorted'?

I'm pretty sure they could afford the best lawyers who could have advised them to fight in court........unless.
