Adding in his role in the Black Panther Scandal
==Marc Rich Pardon==
==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.

==Black Panther scandal==
In 2009, despite overwhelming evidence towards the voter intimidation by [[New Black Panther Party]] members Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Sha-Bazz, and Jerry Jackson at a Philadelphia polling office in 2008, they were acquitted with minimal charges by the Department of Justice, then controlled by Eric Holder. Holder, when questioned about his rationale, said he didn't want to prosecute "my people." (thus implying that he holds bias against white voters and for minorities, and that attempts to bring justice to people who violated the Voting Rights Act is comparable to what happened to Blacks in Charleston during the Civil Rights era.).<ref>http://www.examiner.com/article/eric-holder-focus-on-black-panther-voter-intimidation-case-demeans-my-people</ref>
