“Historically, the Justice Department has been Congress' ally in fighting wrongdoing in government, but under this Justice Department and Eric Holder, rather than being the people's attorney, Eric Holder sees himself as the president's attorney and he'll do anything to defend the president.”

American politician and lobbyist

Randolph Blake Farenthold was an American politician and lobbyist. A Republican, he co-hosted a conservative talk radio program before entering politics. He served as the U.S. representative for Texas's 27th congressional district from 2011 until his resignation in 2018. Farenthold left office after reports that he had used public funds to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit and that women in his congressional office experienced a hostile work environment. At the time of his resignation, he said he would repay the $84,000 in public money used in the settlement, but he later withdrew that pledge.
