Two US Higher officials almost fought in the White House, the author of the book about Obama told

Two US highest officials almost arranged a fight in the White House, writes Daniel Kaidman, author of the book “Kill or catch: a war with terrorism and the soul of the Obama presidential term”, which is published on Tuesday.

According to The Daily Telegraph , the participants in the skirmish were the chief political adviser to US President Barack Obama David Axelrod and the country's Prosecutor General Eric Holder. The book says that Axelrod, in particular, accused the prosecutor general of the fact that he publicly "hobbled" on him for interfering in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice.

“Never even try to blame me for an attempt to intervene of the affairs of the Ministry of Justice,” Caidman Axelrod quoted when their skirmish with the prosecutor general was in full swing. The author of the book writes that at that moment two officials were more reminiscent of students who arranged a “showdown” in the courtyard of the school. An adviser to the White House, Valeria Jarret, who in an ultimative form, had to separate the failed brawls of the opponents to solve their affairs in another place.

“I am not Karl Row,” the axelrod threw during the skirmish to his opponent. Karl Row, recall, was the closest assistant to the ex-president of the United States George Bush Jr. and the defendant of the loud domestic political scandal, when the democrats accused the Bush administration of interfering of the internal affairs of the Ministry of Justice.

Then it turned out that after the victory of Bush in the second elections in 2004, his administration compiled a rating of prosecutors by the degree of their loyalty to the White House. Some of those who were considered disloyal were resigned. The ideologist of these dismissals, according to some reports, was a row.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the conflict between the two officials, apparently, arose due to an attempt to add a policy to the state of Holder’s department, which made a number of mistakes from the moment of taking office in 2009.
