Reno: Holder's "Indubitably" Qualified, Shouldn't Be Faulted For Pardons

huffingtonpost.com

Former Attorney General Janet Reno said on Wednesday that her one-time deputy, Eric Holder, was "indubitably" qualified to assume the AG role in an Obama administration, had the right temperament and jurisprudence for the post, and should not be faulted for his role in the pardoning of Marc Rich.

"It was done in haste, and haste is not conducive to good processes," Reno said of the controversial pardon of the so-called "fugitive financier," which Holder shepherded during the last days of the Clinton administration. The Republican National Committee and other GOP officials have criticized Holder for his role in the episode, saying he suspended legal standards in order to help facilitate a political favor.
