The issue isn't so much Holder himself. His position is actually correct if you look at DOJ protocol. THAT, of course, is the problem. Inhuman, drone-like prosecutors use an unfair system in many cases for no purpose other than to pad their resumes in search of better paying positions at private firms. This is the standard operating procedure of the DOJ and is perfectly acceptable to the people that run it.
Over the years, lawmakers have been ratcheting up the maximum sentences on crimes and watering down the requirements for conviction. These factors have combined to create one of the most effective extortion schemes ever devised. I don't know what success rate the mob has when it extorts businesses, but I'll bet it's lower than the 90%+ plea rate that the DOJ has. They are modern-day thugs with pens instead of guns. You can't get 90% of any group to do anything - except apparently to admit to crimes that they may or may not have committed and literally send themselves to prison in order to avoid the risk of a conviction at trial and potentially draconian penalties.
