Eric Holder's wife wins 'executive privilege' for 'Fast and Furious,' watchdog says

Attorney General Eric Holder, center, sits with his wife Sharon Malone, right, as they wait for President Barack Obama to speak at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundations 44th Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014. ... more >

Documents obtained from a government watchdog on the Fast and Furious debacle reveal the feds have gone to such lengths to maintain privacy on the gun-running program that even Attorney General Eric Holders wife has been granted executive privilege status.

Judicial Watch found that email correspondence between Mr. Holder and his wife, Sharon, and between Mr. Holder and his mother, are being withheld under an extraordinary claim of executive privilege as well as a dubious claim of deliberative process privilege under the Freedom of Information Act, Newsmax reported.

There are at least 20 emails, other communications, but principally emails between Holder and his spouse, Sharon Malone a medical doctor here in [Washington] D.C., and between Holder and his mother, who is now deceased but at the time a couple years back, she was still alive, Chris Farrell, the director of research and investigations at Judicial Watch, said during an interview on Newsmax TV.

Its not clear what the emails have to do with Fast and Furious, the federal gun-running scandal that left left U.S. border patrol agent Brian Terry dead. But the fact theyve been given executive privilege status is curious and suspicious, Mr. Farrell said.

I cant imaging what Dr. Malone or his mother has anything to do with Fast and Furious, Mr. Farrell said, Newsmax reported. Somebody I know has opined that they think that theyre maybe cover emails for people in the White House. Their claim is executive privilege. They need to document or explain that. They just cant make a blanket statement.

Holder interview: What we learned

Thursday, October 23, 2014 - 5:52am

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday that he found it "frustrating" that the Justice Department hasn't been able to carry out criminal prosecutions of executives whose risky banking practices blamed for the global financial crisis.

As Holder wraps up nearly six years at the helm of the Justice Department, the attorney general has drawn criticism for his department's record on white collar crime.

Holder frustrated no person went on trial for financial crisis

Some critics say the department failed by not bringing charges as a deterrent against shoddy practices on Wall Street. Some fault him for instead extracting billion dollar settlements from the world's biggest banks.

Holder has defended the department's record saying the settlements are one way to prod shareholder to hold management more accountable.

Still, in an exclusive interview with CNN on Monday, Holder acknowledged that the lack of criminal prosecutions of executives "is something that is frustrating."

"The American people should understand we looked at those matters, tried to come up with ways in which we could hold people and institutions accountable," Holder told CNN. "We have prosecuted certain institutions. We have gotten record amounts of money in and we've used that money for appropriate remedial measures so that people can stay in their houses, have their mortgages reduced. So a lot of good has come from our efforts in that regard."

Holder noted that he has called for Congress to change federal law to encourage white collar whistleblowers from inside Wall Street to help the Justice Department bring cases.

There are, he said, "a number of measures that I think Congress might change so that the prosecution of these kinds of cases is not as difficult as they are."
