Eric Holder: ‘No Basis’ for Trump to Investigate FBI Election Meddling

Big Government: Former Attorney General Eric Holder blasted President Donald Trump’s demand to investigate possible federal meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign as “dangerous” and “democracy threatening” in a message posted Monday afternoon.

“Trump demand for DOJ investigation is dangerous/democracy threatening. DOJ response is disappointing,” Holder lamented on Twitter. “There is no basis/no predicate for an inquiry. It’s time to stand for time-honored DOJ independence. That separation from White House is a critical part of our system.”  more here

  1. Eric Holder, lapdog to Obama, claims there is no precedent for this investigation. Uh, Watergate? Nixon’s plumbers spying on the DNC? You know, that scandal that led to the resignation of a President and tagging every subsequent scandal with “gate?”

    What Holder means is there is no precedent for destroying the reputation of the Clintons (or at least what little reputation they have left) and Obama. Holder wants these investigations stopped because instead of implicating Trump, they are leading back to the Democrats, the Clintons, and his master Obama.

  2. “I have raised these issues with the attorney general, who shares my concern. So he has agreed to review existing Department of Justice guidelines governing investigations that involve reporters, and will convene a group of media organizations to hear their concerns as part of that review. And I have directed the attorney general to report back to me by July 12.”–Barak Obama’s orders to DOJ in 2013

    (Before Holder personally signed off on a controversial search warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a “possible co-conspirator” in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails.)

  3. “It’s time to stand for time-honored DOJ independence.”

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA

    Did Holder manage to say this with a straight face?

    Old rule: The Whitehouse is running this.

    New Rule: Trump has no authority to ask anything of DOJ, much less tell them anything.

  4. Sure. Holder was involved in using the DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA to spy on the Romney campaign in 2012.

    That’s how authoritarian globalists and community organizers (i.e. radical Marxists, extortionists, etc.) roll.

  5. Constitution to Holder: The DOJ is not a 4th co-equal branch of government. It is part of the Executive Branch lead by the POTUS.

    It’s funny how Demonrats and the MSM push this myth of an independent DOJ branch of Govt. while there is a Republican POTUS. Then conveniently forget all about it when a Demonrat is in power.

    “Holder is now a flag waiver and proponent of strict adherence to protocol?”
    That’s hitting the right notes . . .
    ‘By the Book’

    “Trump demand for DOJ investigation is dangerous/democracy threatening. DOJ response is disappointing.”–Holder

    You’re a fine one to talk of “damage to our democracy”. (By the way, it’s a “Constitutional Republic”.
