Now, I understand why right-wingers -- at least those who want to endless re-fight the battles of the Clinton years -- want to try to make hay of the Elian incident (in which the effective kidnapping of the six-year-old by the so-called Miami Relatives was ended by a raid with lousy optics) and the highly dubious Rich pardon, but this jumped out at me:

The senators also asked for any Holder ties to pardons of 16 Puerto Rican nationalists granted by President Clinton in 1999, as well as a gun-control measure Clinton signed that year and the extension of the gun-control Brady Bill.

So it's possibly a dealbreaker if you supported the freaking Brady Bill? It's the law of the land, it passed in 1994 with 88% public approval, but Holder has to be grilled about it?
