==Marc Rich Pardon==
While Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton Administration, Holder was asked for his opinion on pardoning Marc Rich. Rich is the biggest tax cheat in American history and had fled the country, but was a big donor to the Clintons and the Democratic party, so Bill Clinton wanted to pardon him. Holder said that he was "leaning toward favorable" on the pardon. <ref>http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122749145870752223.html</ref> After Holder offered his opinion, Rich was pardoned. However, Rich has never returned to America.
