Senate Republicans, including Sens. Arlen Specter (R-PA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and Jon Kyl (R-AZ), are trying delay confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Eric Holder, raising questions about Holder’s role in the 2001 pardon of Marc Rich. Grassley even tried to tie Holder to Gov. Rod Blajogevich, saying last week, “Public reports have just emerged that in 2004, the Governor of Illinois hired or sought to hire Mr. Holder.”
On Dec. 1, just one day after Holder’s nomination, Karl Rove told the Today Show that Holder’s record “will be examined” because he was the “one controversial nominee“:
ROVE: He was deeply involved as the Deputy Attorney General in the controversial pardon of Marc Rich. … I think it’s going to be clearly examined, if for no other reason that people want to lay down markers that that kind of behavior is inappropriate. … But again, there will be some attention paid to this.

"controversial pardon of Marc Rich" you pinko-ya forget to mention his lawyer who pushed for that pardon-one Scooter Libby LOL
I'll bet Rover "Benedict Arnold" is out to do all the final damages he can until the new administration takes over and he finally ends up in jail where he belongs.
Speaking of Rover's felonious crimes,I nearly spit out my coffee when Fitz said he arrested Blogo so he didn't do anymore damage on his "political corruption crime spree"...
