What Attorney General Eric Holder inherited from Michael Mukasey and his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales, was not a Justice Department that was slightly confused about where the law began and politics ended. He took over an institution where, at least in recent years, politics had no end. Longtime employees were let go for not being, as Gonzalez's own staff put it, "loyal Bushies," and the loyal drones that were left in place used the agency to go after any Democratic politician or campaign donor that got in their way. Air America's Mike Papantonio talks about the immense task of cleaning up the department that now lies with Eric Holder with Dahlia Lithwick, contributing editor for Newsweek.
