Obama's Unethical Eric Holder

Eric Holder was selected as one of three on Barack Obama's VP selection team, which Obama himself has described as one of the most important decisions he will make. Holder is supposedly to vet candidates for the veep job, but who will vet Eric Holder?

As deputy attorney general, Holder was the key person who made the pardon of Marc Rich possible in the final hours of the Clinton presidency. Now Obama will be stuck in the Marc Rich mess.

If ever there was a person who did not deserve a presidential pardon, it's Marc Rich, the fugitive billionaire who renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to Switzerland to avoid prosecution for racketeering, wire fraud, 51 counts of tax fraud, evading $48 million in taxes, and engaging in illegal trades with Iran in violation of the U.S. embargo following the 1979-80 hostage crisis.

Who will vet Eric Holder? Certainly not Barack Obama.More from Andrew McCarthy on Holder's role in pardoning Weather Underground domestic terrorists. Obviously Holder is Obama's kind of guy. What does that say about his judgment, hmm, the only thing he can cite to make up for his sorry lack of experience and accomplishment. And one of Barack's other picks looks dubious too.
