Holder pledges to review case against Schlozman
8 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — If confirmed as attorney general, Eric Holder says he'll review the decision not to prosecute a former Justice Department official for making false statements to Congress.

An inspector general report this week found that Bradley Schlozman, the former head of the civil rights division, misled lawmakers about whether he politicized hiring decisions.

But career prosecutors in Washington reviewed the evidence and decided not to prosecute Schlozman.

Holder said Thursday he'd review that decision it if he becomes attorney general.

Schlozman is among Justice Department officials criticized for politicizing employment decisions. The report found that he urged the hiring of people he called "real Americans."

woooooooooooohooooooooooo!
