Eric Holder & DoJ Spent Millions Of Taxpayer Dollars On Unreported Personal Travel
Zero Hedge ^ | 24 March 2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 03/24/2014 7:13:22 PM PDT by Errant

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!

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.

Probably on top hush-hush work - tracking down elusive members of the vast right wing conspiracy AKA the Tea Party AKA American citizens...

An IRS audit and black on white death squads from the DO”J”
for anyone who DARES report on this.

Meanwhile, the hated, EXEMPT Congress schemes to help
Obama and al Qaeda exterminate what is left of America’s
Constitution.

BS.

The Congress does it because they make money from
“laws” for others, from avoiding SEC rules,
and they enjoy their child brothels and sex slaves
in the Arab countries they visit.

Low rung federal employees are warned during the application process that if they steal so much as a pencil they will be s-canned with prejudice.

I’m sure if pressed hard enough, Holder will appoint a Justice Dept. staff attorney to investigate and rubber-stamp the attorney general’s opinion that it was “money well spent” (especially the visits to `world-class’ strip clubs).

Probably. Even a black pastors’ organization wants Eric Holder removed from office.

Lawmaker questions Holder on abusing FBI travel privileges

Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican and the ranking GOP member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants answers about whether Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and other senior Justice Department officials misused FBI aircraft, hindering the agency’s investigations and ignoring a White House order to cut travel costs.

August 2012

Last year, The Washington Times reported that Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta was commuting home each weekend to Monterey, Calif., on a military jet and reimbursing the government for a fraction of the cost — an arrangement that came under scrutiny during Washington’s tough budget times. Mr. Panetta has since apologized for the practice and said he will think about alternatives to the high-priced commute.

In their letter, Mr. Grassley and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee became concerned about the allegations of Mr. Holder’s use of the FBI’s jet after reading about the $870,000 price tag for Mr. Panetta’s personal travel.

Those using government planes for “non-mission” purposes included Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder and former FBI Director Robert Mueller. The 395 trips by Holder, Mueller and other officials cost $7.8 million.
