on Breitbart TV 20 Oct 2014,
Attorney General Eric Holder said that his biggest failure during his time as head of the Justice Department was failing to pass expanded gun control laws and criticized former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for his negative characterizations of the president during an interview aired on Monday�s broadcast of �The Lead� on CNN.

�I think the inability to pass reasonable gun safety laws after the Newtown massacre is, for me, something that I take personally as a failure, and something that I think we as a society should take as a failure� he stated when asked what he considered his greatest failure.

Holder added that he considered �where we are with regard to our criminal justice reform issues, the stands that we've taken against voter suppression efforts, the attempts to include the LGBT community in ways that it has not been before, and to knock down those final vestiges of discrimination� as his biggest successes.

When asked about former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta�s criticism of President Obama, Holder argued that �the president is a deliberate person in an appropriate way, but he's also resolute once he makes up his mind. So, I think that what Leon said in the book is unfortunate.�

That was more than a "failure". It precipitated the most epic rush in history for people to arm themselves, since our country became a nation.

Oh Mr. Holder, don't be so hard on yourself, you've had much bigger failures than that....

I hope his biggest failure is his inability to stay out of the big house.

I am pretty sure that the department of justice's job doesn't include passing legislation.

I'd say just going in the office that says Attorney General was his biggest failure.

The SCOTUS and the Executive branches seem to accomplish it. Why not? Come one, come all. This is what's wrong in this gov.

His biggest failure was in breathing air.

There is a bit of interesting info regarding the Sandy Hook incident, similar to Fast and Furious as a .gov orchestrated "non event" to so thoroughly shock and disgust the public to try to influence opinion and fast track their gun grabbing agenda.

I was a bit shocked as a read some of it. I mean, if theres a kernel of truth to it, its pretty damned reprehensible, and shows that they will stoop to the lowest lows to manipulate the public,

All those poor guys up there who went with their conscience and did what they felt was best for their families and stood in line to register and it was perhaps over an orchestrated affair.

Sheesh.

There is a lot about that entire thing that doesn't smell right.

No lawsuits. Dead perp, so no hearings, grand jury or trials, and no public evidence. Just the story dotgov wants you to hear.

He failed when he took the oath of office. He knew he was never going to abide by the Constitution and he was going to do what ever he wanted when ever he wanted. Not one ounce of ethics lives in that sack of bones. kwg

What he achieved was to confirm to the public the lack of integrity of POTUS and his entire administration.

So he's got that going for him. grin

His job isn't to pass schit. It's to make sure the laws already in place are followed out and applied fairly.
