\"Loretta<\/a>Just a few months ago, back in September, 2014 most of us\u00a0Birthers were objectively happy when Eric Holder announced that he would be resigning. Here at WOBIK we published (Sept. 24, 2014) a brief report regarding the resignation:<\/p>\n

Obama Attorney General Eric Holder to Resign<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Barack Obama quickly struck back in November, 2014 with his nomination of\u00a0Loretta Elizabeth Lynch for next US Attorney General.<\/p>\n

Lynch currently serves as\u00a0US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. \u00a0She assumed office in 2010 after being appointed by Barack Obama. \u00a0It should be noted that she held the same office from 1999 thru 2001, after being appointed by Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

She was born in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1959 (she’s 55 now). \u00a0She\u00a0earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and American literature from Harvard College (1981) and a degree in law\u00a0from Harvard Law School (1984).<\/p>\n

From what I can gather black Americans, or at least the ones who are aware of who Lynch is and her recent\u00a0nomination, appear to support her, exclusively, because she is black (or at least black<\/em> by American\u00a0standards). \u00a0Moreover, white Americans who suffer from “white guilt conscience” appear to support Lynch, exclusively, because she is black.<\/p>\n

These findings became all the more apparent recently when US Senator Rand Paul (R-KY and possible 2016 candidate for POTUS) publicly opposed Lynch’s nomination.<\/p>\n

The Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Lynch began last week on January 28th (2015). \u00a0Senator\u00a0Charles E. Grassley (R-IA) is heading the committee.<\/p>\n

At one point in the ongoing confirmation hearing Senator\u00a0John Cornyn (R-TX), asked\u00a0Lynch if she was going to be an Eric Holder version 2.0, “…you’re not Eric Holder, are you?<\/em>” he said.<\/p>\n

“No, I’m not,”<\/em> Lynch said.<\/p>\n

Lynch’s position is that she is an alternative to Eric Holder.<\/p>\n

The Congressional<\/em> Black Caucus<\/em> (CBC) is now condemning \u00a0US Senator Rand Paul\u00a0(R-KY and possible 2016 candidate for POTUS) and\u00a0expressing extensive disapproval because Paul opposes Lynch’s nomination.<\/p>\n

\"Rand<\/a>Senator Paul has commendably stood up for black Americans for as along as I can remember and he continues to do so now by opposing Lynch’s confirmation.<\/p>\n

Loretta Lynch is an advocate and proponent of Civil Forfeiture<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, November 22 (2014) the Wall Street Journal published an editorial titled,\u00a0Loretta Lynch\u2019s Money Pot<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the Wall Street Journal there have been at least 120 cases in which Loretta Lynch has used civil asset forfeiture <\/em>to expropriate approximately $113 million for federal and local coffers.<\/p>\n

One of the problems with civil forfeiture is that you don’t have do be found guilty of anything before your property, cash and assets can be seized by the government. \u00a0Many victims of civil forfeiture are not connect to crimes at all. Forbes Magazine recently published (Sept. 12, 2014) an article (by George Leef) regarding the perils of civil forfeiture which contains extensively alarming examples:\u00a0Time For Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws To Meet The Same Fate As Jim\u00a0Crow<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Civil asset forfeiture is one the most flagrant examples of government overreach. Money, property, or other possessions without a conviction. \u00a0Reader may not be aware of this but criminal charges are not even prerequisites for seizing assets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) expropriated\u00a0approximately two (2) billion dollars<\/strong> in 2013 (financial year) through civil forfeiture.<\/p>\n

Last week during Lynch’s ongoing confirmation hearing she stated the following regarding civil forfeiture, “I believe that civil and criminal forfeiture are important tools to the Department of Justice, as well as our state and local counterparts through state laws, in essentially managing or taking care of the first order of business, which it to take the profit out of criminal activity.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In an recent interview with Breitbart News<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Senator Rand Paul stated the following regarding Loretta Lynch,\u00a0I\u2019m concerned that a big part of her fame as a federal prosecutor was through civil forfeiture. She was asked specifically about this by Sen. Lee, and her response was \u2018oh, everything is fine, it\u2019s done with a court order.\u2019 She seems to not quite understand that innocent people are having their stuff taken by government\u2013their cars, their money, their hotels, their stuff is being confiscated by government even if they\u2019re never charged or even if they\u2019re never convicted. She didn\u2019t seem to grasp that point and this is a week after parts of the administration said they were not going to enforce some of the civil forfeiture:<\/em><\/p>\n
