What a traitor looks like:

Al-Qaeda is running the Department of Justice.  Foxes, henhouses and what’s for dinner:

Attorney General Eric Holder says nine Obama appointees in the Justice Department have represented or advocated for terrorist detainees before joining the Justice Department. But he does not reveal any names beyond the two officials whose work has already been publicly reported. And all the lawyers, according to Holder, are eligible to work on general detainee matters, even if there are specific parts of some cases they cannot be involved in.

So your Attorney General is taking his fellow travelers out of Al-Qaeda’s legal farm teams in the U.S. and is putting them in direct control of the Department of Justice advising on detainees that they or their firms represented.  What do I mean “formerly”?

They are still representing them.

As for everyone else, Holder lists no names and no cases, but in a paragraph filled with modifiers, he makes it clear that all the lawyers who had advocated for detainees are free to work on general detainee matters.

The senior Department officials referenced above, like other political appointees who are similarly situated, have recused from particular matters regarding specific detainees in which their former firms represent the detainee or another party and from decisions relating specifically to the dispositions of particular detainees represented by their former firms. These recusals pertain to decisions relating to particular matters involving specific parties who are or have been represented by their former law firms within the relevant time period. However, as noted above, these senior officials have been authorized to participate in policy and legal decisions regarding detainee matters, in particular matters regarding specific detainees whom their prior employer did not represent, and in decisions relating to the disposition of such detainees. [emphasis added]

Oh, well that’s clear as mud then.  I used to work for one terrorist/client and now I have to swap out with my buddy who was representing a different scumbag.  Attorney A used to work for Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Attorney B used to work for Osama Bin Laden’s driver – so it’s okay for Attorney B to represent for KSM at the Dept. of Justice and it’s okay for Attorney A to represent OBL’s driver.  And this isn’t a conflict of interest how exactly?

The DoJ should be prosecuting terrorists not representing them from the inside.  In simpler times, people called this treason.  Some of us still do.

And if you think hauling Bush attorneys in front of Congress for show trials when they did nothing wrong is high drama wait until we get a hold of you.  Holder and his entire squad of Guantanamo Bay representing goons, who he refuses to name or say what they are doing,  should be frog marched in front of a military tribunal themselves and dealt with accordingly.

Instead they prosecute the people who kept America safe for eight years and put the legal lunatics who represented the enemy in charge of their former clients.  Madness.
