On January 4 liberal California legislative leadersannouncedthat they are using tax dollars to hire former Attorney General Eric Holder and his law firm to assist them in anticipated federal challenges to several state policies such as climate change and immigration. Leftists controlling the Democratic Party are especially concerned that a new Trump administration might actually start enforcing the rule of law against Californias dangerous and unlawful sanctuary policies. Evidently, Eric Holder will waste taxpayer funds defending this lawlessness.

In astatement, Kevin de Leon, California Senate President Pro Tempore, said, With the upcoming change in administrations, we expect that there will be extraordinary challenges for California in the uncertain times ahead. The California Attorney General, who represents the States interest in court, already has abudget of $190 million.

In response, we have filed arecords requestwith the California Legislature Joint Rules Committee seeking to examine legislative records regarding the states employment of former Obama U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.:

All contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.

All communications between the California Legislature and former U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the Legislatures retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.

Holder was one of Obamas longest-serving and most controversial Cabinet members.

On June 28, 2012, he became the first U.S. Attorney General to be held incontempt of Congresson both civil and criminal grounds. The contempt charge came in connection with Holders refusal to turn over documents about his agencys lies onOperation Fast and Furious, the Obama administrations gun-walking scandal. JW exposednumerousoutragesassociated with thisscandal.

Under Holder the Justice Department dismissed itsvoting rights caseagainst the New Black Panther Party. The Justice Department originally filed its lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party following an incident that took place outside of a Philadelphia polling station on November 4, 2008. According to multiple witnesses, members of the New Black Panthers blocked access to polling stations, harassed voters and hurled racial epithets. A video of the incident, showing a member of the New Black Panther Party brandishing a police-style baton weapon, was widely distributed on the Internet. JW exposed a number of Obama DOJ liesregarding the Black Panthers, which a federal judge validated in Judicial Watch v. United States Department of Justice (No. 1:10-cv-851).

In 2013, the Obama Justice Department was caught spying onThe Associated Pressby collecting months worth of phone records of reporters and editors. Fox News James Rosen was among thosetargetedby Holders Justice Department.

Thanks in part to JWs success in exposing his corruption, Holder was forced to resign from the Justice Department in 2015 and rejoin his old law firm of Covington & Burling.

Our records request is designed to expose how California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician Eric Holder with the intention of deliberately resisting the rule of law on immigration and other matters. His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.
