"Is this the most corrupt Administration or what" MC
The revelations about Attorney General Eric Holder and his connection
to an abortion clinic are becoming worse as new information has come to
light showing he failed to disclose his wife’s co-owning of an abortion
business.
Just before the election, Human Events broke the news that Holder’s
wife and sister-in-law co-own, through a family trust, own the building
where a controversial abrotion practitioner operates. The Holder
family transferred ownership to a family trust in 2009, eight months
after President Barack Obama’s inauguration and a deed names Holder’s
wife and sister-in-law as trustees.
Fulton County tax records show Holder’s wife and sister-in-law own
the building, located at 6210 Old National Highway, College Park, Ga. A
statement from the Georgia Department of Law shows the building was home
to Old National Gynecology, the practice of abortion practitioner
Tyrone Cecil Malloy.
Now, Human Events has an update,
revealing that Holder failed to disclose his wife’s ownership of the
building. The attorney general’s financial disclosure reports for 2008 through 2011 show Holder neglected to report his wife’s co-ownership.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch in Washington,
D.C., said he was “surprised there is this trust out there and (Holder)
hasn’t reported it.”
“It looks to me like the sort of thing that should be disclosed. If
he and his spouse are gaining income off this trust, generally that
would be subject to disclosure,” Fitton said. “I mean, if you have an
ownership interest, you get the income. You may not be making the
day-to-day decisions about the investments, but you are certainly
benefiting from them.”
Holder did not respond to several requests for comment.
Dana Cody, an attorney and the president and executive director of
Life Legal Defense Foundation, a pro-life legal defense organization in
Napa, Calif., agreed that Holder should have “disclosed any financial
interest he had in the abortion industry.”
Under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, high-level federal
officials are required to “disclose publicly their personal financial
interests to ensure confidence in the integrity of the federal
government by demonstrating that they are able to carry out their duties
without compromising the public trust.”
The law further requires disclosure of the “holdings of and income
from the holdings of any trust, estate, investment fund or other
financial arrangement from which income is received by, or with respect
to which a beneficial interest in principal or income is held by, the
filer, his spouse, or dependent child.”
