A former federal prosecutor and relentless litigator whose enemies in Washington include politicians on both sides of the aisle has announced he is launching an investigation of Attorney General Eric Holder.

Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch USA, still is known in Washington as the biggest enemy of the city's elite, and his battles against corruption in the Clinton administration became so well known the "West Wing" character Harry Klaypool was based on his work.

"Eric Holder is typical of the corrupt establishment crowd that voters rebelled against last Tuesday when they voted to elect as senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts," Klayman told WND.

"In fact, the decision by the Obama administration to go soft on non-citizen terrorists was a key factor in this vote. Now, it is time to investigate and create the climate to get rid of Eric Holder, before lasting damage is done to our national security.

"Independents, liberals and conservatives rose up in Massachusetts and now it's time for Freedom Watch to finish the job," he said.

Klayman, a former Justice Department prosecutor and founder of both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, said his new organization has launched an investigation of Holder.

"The attorney general's refusal to prosecute admitted terrorists, like the Christmas Day bomber and the infamous Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (KSM), as so-called 'enemy combatants' has resulted in the hindrance of national security and law enforcement agencies," he said in a prepared statement. "This refusal by Holder not only resulted in Miranda rights being read to the Christmas Day bomber – preventing the FBI and other agencies from obtaining meaningful intelligence from him when his lawyer stopped the interrogation – but with regard to KSM, has also jeopardized the safety of New York City residents, due to the insistence of investigating an act of terror as if it were a common crime."

Klayman, whose new book "Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment" is an exposé about corruption, abuse and lapsed ethics in the U.S. government, judiciary and media, said Holder's actions make New York, already attacked twice by terrorists, "a major target" for al-Qaida.

Klayman said Freedom Watch is filing document requests to uncover the underlying reasons why Holder "has taken a 'dive' in prosecuting terrorists, who are non-U.S. citizens, as enemy combatants."

He said he expects Holder to "stonewall" on the document requests, and Freedom Watch will respond with a lawsuit in the federal courts in Washington in 20 days as allowed by law.

"Given Mr. Holder's history, it is surprising that he would have been chosen by President Obama and then confirmed by a bipartisan Senate of Democrats and Republicans," Klayman said. "As Deputy Attorney General, Holder not only greased the now-infamous pardons during the Clinton administration to Marc Rich and others who made substantial contributions, but also indicted Nolanda Hill to try to keep her quiet when, as former Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown's confidant, she started to talk about fundraising illegalities at the Clinton Commerce Department."

Klayman takes no prisoners and subscribes to no political ideology in his battles against corruption. He currently has pending a lawsuit in federal court against President Bush and Vice President Cheney over the wiretapping of Scott Tooley, an American citizen.

When Klayman returned to Washington to further attack corrupt activities, he told Lou Dobbs, with CNN at the time, "I've never seen it like this."

Among other agenda points Holder has pursued was the federal hate crimes legislation signed into law by Obama.

Critics say it is a first step toward criminalizing Christianity.

Klayman also already has started the legal attack on Obama's health care takeover plan. He's filed a lawsuit over Obama's secret meetings with Planned Parenthood and other lobbyists on the plan.

His action focuses on the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which requires disclosure of records of meetings between the executive branch and outside industry lobbyists. It also requires access to meetings.

Klayman raised the same issues during the early years of the Clinton administration, contributing to the demise of the health care proposal championed by Hillary Clinton.

The lawsuit charges that in Obama's "haste to socialize medicine in the United States, and increase government control generally," he has "violated his commitment to transparency."

Klayman also has taken on Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the nation of Cuba in his legal battles.

Eric Kampmann, president of Midpoint Trade Books, the national distributor for "WHORES," said Klayman's exposure of corruption comes at just the right time, with confidence in Washington plummeting.

"Klayman names names and pulls no punches," he said. "It is no secret that Larry Klayman is feared and hated in Washington, which is why the reading public will love him."
