It Was Obama Who Nominated Partisan Hacks to Head the DOJ, Not Trump

Last week, President Trump nominated William Barr to replace the acting attorney general, Matt Whitaker. The choice of Whitaker, you might recall, was universally derided by Democrats for his past opinions on the Mueller investigation, resulting in all sort of conspiracy theories about whether he’d undermine the investigation somehow. Almost immediately they wanted Whitaker to recuse himself from anything connected to the Mueller investigation.

Like a broken record, Democrats are saying Barr, if confirmed as attorney general, should also recuse himself. As Kimberley Strassel of the Wall Street Journal put it, “How good of a nominee is William Barr for AG? Based on the immediate demands by Democrats that he recuse himself from pretty much everything important—a pretty darn good one.”

Barr, like many people who have been paying attention, has noted the obvious politicization of the Mueller investigation, and Democrats are “concerned” that he’ll be under pressure from the White House to do Trump’s bidding. These are the same Democrats who voted unanimously to confirm Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch—both of whom were radical leftists who had no business being the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Barr, on the other hand, has a distinguished record, having previously served as attorney general under George H.W. Bush from 1991 to 1993.

Attorney General Eric Holder’s radical past ought to have disqualified him from being the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. As a college student at Columbia University in 1970, Holder was the leader of a black separatist group on campus, the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which participated in a five-day armed takeover of an abandoned ROTC office on campus.

From the beginning of his tenure at the Department of Justice, Holder’s radical racial politics influenced his actions when he chose not to prosecute the New Black Panther Party over their voter intimidation during the 2008 election. He inappropriately involved himself in the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown shooting death cases, and repeatedly stonewalled various investigations into Obama administration corruption, including the investigation of Fast and Furious (which got him held in contempt of Congress), the IRS scandal, the Sestak job offer scandal, the Benghazi investigation, etc., etc. In fact, the stonewalling by the Obama/Holder Justice Department was so bad that in August of 2014, 47 of 73 inspectors general wrote an open letter to Congress accusing the Obama administration of unprecedented obstruction for not allowing them full access to the information they needed to conduct their investigations.
