Holder: At DoJ We’ve ‘Done Truly Historic, Historic and Big Things,’ ‘Free of Politicization’

“I think that as we look back at these past six years, what I want you understand, is that you have done truly historic, historic and big things. No matter where you look, if look at from the basic stuff, you know, this department is restored. It is restored to what it always was and certainly it was when I got here and what it must always be: free of politicization, focused on the mission, and making sure that the justice is done without any kind of interference from political outsiders. 

We have expressed faith in the greatest court system in the world and brought the toughest national security cases into that system and with unbelievable results. The notion that we’re still having a debate about whether or not cases should be brought in the Article 3 system or in military tribunals is over, is dead. That is because of the great work that the prosecutors in various districts have performed in putting together wonderful cases and then successfully trying those cases."
