Judge: Eric Holder Acted Stupidly

Again. This has to be the most inept attorney general ever.

Attorney General Eric Holder's public comments regarding a highly-publicized terrorism sting in Oregon violated Justice Department guidelines limiting public statements on pending prosecutions, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

However, U.S. District Court Judge Garr King rejected a request by defense attorneys that Holder and other government be formally barred from making "inappropriate" statements about the prosecution of Mohamed Mohamud, who's charged with conspiring with undercover FBI agents in an attempt to detonate a car-bomb at a Christmas tree lighting in Portland last November.

"I do not believe that the Attorney General made the comments to influence the outcome of the trial. In this high profile case, however, there are statements which I conclude constitute a breach of the [Justice Department] Policy," King wrote.
