    The criminal Eric Holder had tried to delay his military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay by claiming emotional incompetence, but the admiral disagreed and said Holder was able to stand trial. In his opening statement, the admiral said Holder should have been imprisoned in 2012 for his role in covering up the "Fast and Furious" gun walking scandal where thousands of guns went missing. The admiral presented evidence linking one of the missing guns to the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and Holder's fingerprints were found on documents listing serial numbers. Holder denied the admiral's claims and said the tribunal was a mockery of justice. The admiral recessed the tribunal until Monday without explanation.

    The criminal Eric Holder had tried to delay his Friday


    Guantanamo Bay military tribunal by saying he was emotionally
    incompetent to stand trial. His unlawful arrest, coupled with the
    psychological duress and "emotional abuse" endured at the
    hands of his jailers, had rendered him incapable of adequately
    defending himself against specious charges, he explained to
    Vice Adm . Darse E. Crandall at the start of Friday morning's
    proceedings.
    The admiral disagreed and reminded him that JAG had given
    him time to secure outside counsel. Holder had replied he
    hadn't sought representation for two reasons : the charges were
    farcical and that he trusted only his own renowned legal
    acumen to defend his case.

    "Detainee Holder, if you're of sound enough mind to speak


    about legal defenses, you're able to stand trial . Your morality is
    impaired, but your thinking is not," Vice Adm. Crandall said as
    a pair of MPs ensured Holder took a seat at the defense table .

    "I don't lose cases," Holder said.

    "Neither do I," said Admiral Crandall.

    In an opening statement, the admiral said Holder should've


    been imprisoned in 2012 for using his authority as attorney
    general to cover up the thousands of guns that went missing
    during the ATF's notorious five-year-long "Fast & Furious" gun-
    walking scandal, an operation by which Obama's Department of
    Injustice "purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell
    weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to
    Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them ." But no cartel
    kings were caught, and the ATF lost track of the guns. The
    coverup surrounding "Fast & Furious," also called "Project
    Gunrunner," began unraveling after the murder of border patrol
    agent Brian Terry, whose homicide was linked to the serial
    number of a 'missing' AK-47-type rifle. After his death, ATF
    whistleblowers exposed the depth of the operation, implicating
    Holder, U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona Dennis K.
    Burke, and acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson, among others.
    Whistleblower testimony had sparked a congressional probe,
    but Obama invoked Executive Privilege suppressing
    incriminating documents, and in September 2012, his inspector
    general cleared Holder of any wrongdoing, saying there was no
    evidence Holder knew about "Fast & Furious" before it had
    become a matter of public record.
    "He got an undeserved break. Only 712 of 5,000 firearms ever
    found," the admiral said to the panel of officers JAG had picked
    to hear the case.

    "That is a misrepresentation of the truth," Holder chimed in. "It


    was 2,000, and that's all on record."

    "That's what the perpetrator wants you to believe," the admiral


    told the panel. "He and his master, Barack Hussein Obama,
    adroitly made sure documents they wanted secret never
    reached the National Archives. But they missed a few things."

    Holder objected to the admiral's use of the word 'master,'


    saying it evoked connotations of slavery.

    "The race card doesn't work here, detainee Holder," Adm.


    Crandall said.

    He showed the panel paperwork containing serial numbers of


    the 712 recovered weapons, the 1,288 'officially' unrecovered
    guns, and an additional 3,000 firearms never mentioned in
    official findings . A Navy criminal investigator, the admiral said,
    had lifted Holder's fingerprints from a few of the pages. His
    assistant entered the courtroom carrying a FN Herstal 5. 7 pistol
    in a sealed evidence bag, which she placed on a table.

    That pistol, the admiral explained, was in 2009 recovered from


    Nidal Hasan, the U.S . Army major and psychiatrist who fatally
    shot 13 people and wounded 30 others during the Ft. Hood
    massacre in September that year. Hasan, an avowed Muslim,
    had shouted "Allahu Akbar" all through his rampage. Hasan
    was found guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32
    counts of attempted premeditated murder on August 23, 2013,
    and was sentenced to death on August 28, 2013. As of this
    writing, he is still on death row at Ft. Leavenworth.
    "According to the ATF's own literature, the FN Herstal is a
    favorite weapon of straw buyers. The serial number on this
    sidearm matches the serial number of a page with the
    defendant's fingerprints," the admiral told the panel. "The
    defendant approved an illegal firearm sting program, claims to
    have lost the weapons, hides the existence of 3,000 more
    firearms. One kills a border patrol agent. Another magically
    finds its way into the hands of a mass shooter, a radical Muslim
    terrorist, on a U.S. military installation. The shooter is caught
    and punished, but no investigation was made about the pistol's
    origin, wh ich, we know, was purchased by someone other than
    Hasan at a now shut-down firearms dealer in New Mexico. The
    evidence shows that at least some of the weapons weren't lost;
    they were placed into hands, hands like Nidal Hasan's."

    Holder held his tongue no longer. He called the admiral 's


    "theory" a "twisting, speculative mess" that didn't hold water.
    For all he knew, JAG had manufactured the serial numbers and
    twisted the mass shooting to fit an agenda. "This is a mockery
    of justice," he said .

    The admiral put the tribunal on recess until Monday morning,


    without giving an explanation.
