Eric Holder’s Failure Allowed Banks To Cripple Puerto Rican Economy

It was no surprise when Eric Holder went back to private practice to defend banking criminals, and it gave us a clear idea of why he never prosecuted a single banker during his run as attorney general.

Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and attorney Peter Mougey explain what happened.

because he (Obama) knew that Holder wasn't going to go after Wall Street. The same thing with Loretta Lynch.
