WASHINGTON − If you haven’t seen Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. in public, on Capitol Hill, at a commencement ceremony, on television, under klieg lights on a dais somewhere, someplace − perhaps you’re simply not trying. In his first 100 days in office, Holder has scarcely gone more than two days without being beheld by the public.
He has spoken publicly on more than two dozen occasions since taking office in February and, according to several officials, he’s met privately with several groups and individuals with a broad range of interests, from human rights to civil rights to sentencing policy. Holder has rolled out mortgage and health care fraud task forces in news conferences, appearing alongside state and agency partners. In April, he promised a gathering of chief federal district judges to investigate allegations of attorney misconduct in a more open and timely way. Last month, he laid bare his department’s philosophy on corporate criminal investigations to a group of white-collar lawyers and in-house counsel at an American Bar Association conference.
