(The Daily Beast) - Just days after President Obama announced a new austerity program to save billions in federal spending and travel, his attorney general, Eric Holder, is spending five days on the taxpayer’s dime hopping around Caribbean islands in the name of improving law enforcement in the region.
Holder’s stated mission for the trip was to sign law-enforcement agreements with authorities in the area and to inspect some condos recently seized by federal authorities in a Medicare fraud sting substantially smaller than the department’s usual pursuits prosecuting massive Wall Street fraud, terrorists, and murderers.

Just us occupying the beach.

Farewell vacation, I look for a replacement AG by Jan.1st.
So this pathetic, sick POS wants me to believe his “duties” require him to inspect condos in the Carrib, but not to get updates from the field when guns walk and agents are killed. Enjoy it while you can Eric, yo’ day cometh!
Bank of Barbados excepts freezer money.

The lawmakers need to learn that in Zero’s regime, the head of the Dept. of Injustice does what he wants to do, whether it’s going on junkets, quashing voter intimidation by black radicals, or informing the “civil rights” division to bring no action against minorities who break the law.
