Last week the Senate held confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch, but a lot of the questions from Republicans centered around the current occupant of that office, with one even going so far as to ask Lynch if she is Eric Holder.

Today, Holder himself held a news conference in which he started out by saying, For the record, I am Eric Holder.

From there, the attorney general went after Republican critics in possibly one of the last (if not the last) press conferences of his tenure leading the DOJ. He said its a little irresponsible for people on the hill to say that policy differences that we have with them can be characterized as political.

Holder insisted that theres been no politicization of this Justice Department and said such an accusation is totally inconsistent with the facts. The Bush DOJ was politicized when he got in, Holder said, but hes managed to change it.
