GOP Sharpens Knives For Holder

Barack Obama's cabinet choices have earned steady praise, but one nominee is likely to face a difficult confirmation hearing: Attorney General Eric Holder, who previously worked in the Clinton White House. According to The Boston Globe, Republicans have asked the Justice Department to hand over documents related to "Clinton's impeachment, former vice president Al Gore's fund-raising activities during the 1996 presidential campaign, the 1993 federal raid on the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas, and the pardon of financier Marc Rich," suggesting a myriad of fronts from which Holder might face attack.
