And we cannot neglect to mention the member of Dar Al-Hijrah's Executive Committee, Abelhaleem Hasan Abdelraziq Ashqar , convicted in November 2007 of contempt and obstruction ofjustice for refusal to testify before a grand jury with regard to Hamas, and sentenced to 135 months in prison.
Mr. Holder not only failed to oppose the President in what was widely regarded as a travesty ofjustice, we now know that he improperly facilitated the pardons themselves, then aided and abetted the President's refusal to be publicly accountable for them by gagging the entire Justice Department using the claim of Executive privilege.
