I like to drop into the DOJ website to see if Holder is rounding up any bad guys. It's a pretty user friendly website with a good search feature.
When I do drop in, the first place I check is the Press section. The DOJ issues press releases to let us know what they have done each day. Sadly, it seems that MSM journalists either don't drop onto the website and/or ignore the DOJ press releases because we don't hear very much about Holder's DOJ successes.
Here's the list from this week. You can go to the DOJ Website to click DOJ's links to the full story.
I'm impressed with the broad base of areas covered. I know there are changes some of us would like to see; however, let's give some credit where credit is due.

The right wing accused DOJ of acting as Axelrod's ax men. In retrospect, David was correct: Gallop polls were founded on fiction.
I hope more people will check out the DOJ more often.
