During a news conference Tuesday, outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder responded to Republican concerns about whether AG nominee Loretta Lynch will do things any differently by claiming that he has not politicized the Justice Department:
[…] the attorney general went after Republican critics in possibly one of the last (if not the last) press conferences of his tenure leading the DOJ. He said it’s “a little irresponsible for people on the hill to say that policy differences that we have with them… can be characterized as political.”
Holder insisted that “there’s been no politicization of this Justice Department” and said such an accusation is “totally inconsistent with the facts.” The Bush DOJ was politicized when he got in, Holder said, but he’s managed to change it.
Hmm. How many Republicans agree with that?
