Former attorney general Holder
I believe the answer is:
eric
'former attorney general holder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "--, or Little by Little (Dean Farrar)" , "Mr Clapton" , "Cantona or Clapton?" , ".... the Red, Norwegian explorer who discovered Greenland in 10th century" , "- Sykes, British comedian" .)
