Eric Holder

Eric Holder
There are a whole variety of reasons I want to be attorney general, a whole variety of things that I do as attorney general that go beyond national security.
Eric Holder
At a time when we must seek to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the local community, I am deeply concerned that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message.
Eric Holder
No individual or company, no matter how large or how profitable, is above the law.
Eric Holder
You constantly hear about voter fraud... but you don't see huge amounts of vote fraud out there.
Eric Holder
Operation Fast and Furious was flawed in concept and flawed in execution. The tactics used in this operation violate Department of Justice policy and should never have been used.
