FACT CHECK: Eric Holder Does Not Own His Own Plane

Attorney General Eric Holder said something yesterday that caught my eye: Holder on his nationwide tour post-Ferguson: “I’m going to be putting a lot of miles on my airplane” — Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) December 2, 2014

FACT CHECK: Eric Holder Does Not Own His Own Plane

Attorney General Eric Holder said something yesterday that caught my eye:

FACT CHECK: Holder is wrong. That plane does not belong to him, it belongs to the American taxpayer. That should be obvious by now. I pointed this out on Twitter, a social media website:

Lord knows I support the Justice Department’s soft stance when it comes to delicious ganj, but I'm afraid I can't abide an attorney general who shows such contempt for the American taxpayer. His lies about Fast & Furious and Benghazi are bad enough. Why lie about owning an airplane?

I guess we should expect no less from a public official who has, on several occasions, dared to insult one of America’s greatest heroes.
