According to media accounts, sources close to the Obama transition team reported that Eric Holder has been picked to be the next Attorney General. He still has to go through the vetting process. Read the Newsweek article here which broke the story yesterday. Holder, 57, was Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton administration and is set to be the first African American Attorney General, if confirmed. Holder's role in a number of controversial pardons, including members of the Weather Underground and FALN terrorists, and the fugitive Marc Rich (see our blurb on Rich in the White Collar Rogues Gallery here), has created some questions, however.
