Holder spent several years at Covington before he became attorney general and rejoined the firm after his stint at the Justice Department. He now advises clients on a range of issues including "cultural and social responsibility," raking in as much as $2,295 an hour for conducting racial equity audits.
The former attorney general also weighed in on Israel's war against Hamas last week. Appearing alongside former Obama secretary of defense and longtime Israel critic Chuck Hagel, Holder called Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "small Man" and described Israel's response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack as "extremely disturbing."...
Hagel, who served as secretary of defense from 2013 to 2015, is a longtime Israel critic whose hostility to the Jewish State has veered into anti-Semitism...
"The Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here," Hagel, then serving as a senator from Nebraska, told the former Mideast peace negotiator Aaron David Miller in 2006...
Hagel is also said to have suggested during a 2007 speech that the State Department was an adjunct of the Israeli foreign minister's office, according to a Washington Free Beacon report, and to have pressed, as CEO of the World USO, to shutter a popular USO port in Haifa. "He said to me, 'Let the Jews pay for it'," Marsha Halteman, then the director for military and law enforcement programs at the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), told the Free Beacon in 2013.

Liberals are all in favor of protesting and free speech until it’s used against them!....................

Eric Holder, Ambassadore at Large for FANATICAL WOKE
Come on wise man please just don’t criticize Israel’s actions, get in the game and fix the problem! We are 76 years into political types mouthing off on solutions to this issue and yet more die.
The US response to the December 7th attack by Japan was deeply disturbing and I don’t blame a single Democrat for that.
I wonder if he found the Hamas mass-murder spree “extremely disturbing”?
It’s been that way for a long while.
People who pay former politically connected individuals exorbitant fees for non-work, like racial audits or speaking fees are not doing so for those outputs. They’re buying, or think they’re buying access, or favors, or face time.
I worked for several military suppliers who hired generals, admirals, and bevies of colonels and well-connected majors. I was in a meeting where the company wanted to talk to a project manager in the Pentagon. They couldn’t get through. They brought over a major who had worked under the manager in his office. He wasn’t allowed to work on our program, but he made the call and skillfully worked up the layers to the Project Manager. They talked small talk for a few minutes and then he turned the line over to our company project manager. They negotiated on the subject at hand and the company was very happy. So, the salary they were paying the former major was, I suppose, justified. At the moment he was legally allowed, he took over the official management of our project. Effectively he had been the shadow manager for some time.
I think that moniker should stick—keep repeating it.
The Ivy League has always supported fascists and Dictators. They hate American freedom and would love the end of Israel and America.
I guess if you really dig into it, you could say that the Nazis and KKK had some legitimate concerns too.
Isn’t Eric Holder the guy who gave M-16s to Mexican drug lords? With Obama’s permission of course.
That’s okay! He was slapped with Contempt of Congress.
Next year he’ll show up on The Masked Singer.
He probably thought it was a good start.
In a sane world, Holder would not be worth more than $22.95 an hour.
I wouldn’t trust him to handle my takeout food in California, even for more than that.
