Oh My: Former Attorney General Eric Holder Considering A 2020 Run
Townhall ^ | June 20, 2017 | Matt Vespa

Well, if there’s one candidate who could get the conservative base in the Republican Party to unite, even those who don’t like Donald Trump, it’s former Attorney General Eric Holder. Apparently, the former top law enforcement official is considering a 2020 run against Trump (via The Hill):

Former Attorney General Eric Holder is poised to take a more active role in opposing President Trump, telling Yahoo News in an interview published Tuesday that "now is the time to be more visible" — including weighting a 2020 presidential bid. “Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” said Holder, who served for six years in the Obama administration. “But that’s about to change. I have a certain status as the former attorney general. A certain familiarity as the first African-American attorney general." "There’s a justified perception that I’m close to President Obama. So I want to use whatever skills I have, whatever notoriety I have, to be effective in opposing things that are, at the end of the day, just bad for the country." […] In the first months of Trump's presidency, Holder has been serving as outside counsel to the California state legislature, where he has helped Democrats devise a legal strategy for hampering the president's policies.

If life was fair, that would be hard to do.

From inside a federal correctional facility.

So now that Mueller's with hunt is not only established to nail Trump, it's clear now the Special Counsel is also in existence to shield the entire Obama regime from any prosecution at all by hiding, obfuscating or destroying evidence against him No way Hillary and Holder would even think of running in 3 years unless they knew they had a protector. That's what Mueller is - Obama’s protector.

The novelty has worn off, and Holder has none of the fake charm he needs like Obama.

Wait until he finds out that I’m also considering a run, that should scare hell out of him and he won’t do it. I have to be as big a threat as he is.

I have just three words for Eric Holder.

Gibson Guitar Raid.

A politically motivated SWAT raid by the Obama Admin.

GOOD GRIEF!!

This clown has moved light years beyond delusional, in ways that even exceeded the other Magic Negro from Kenya, in a position that was more profoundly transcendental, long lasting and more contemptuous of our Constitution and, more importantly, Our inviolable Bill of Rights.

Seriously?

Imagine Eric Holder fumbling a hot question during a debate.....

Perhaps, Janet Napolitano can be one of the debate moderators to help guide the questions.....

This was fully unexpected. My hope is that he does get in, shouts down Hillary once and for all, and is then defeated in November by a “New” (non-globalist) Republican.
Eric has a much shorter fuse than Obama did. I suspect he will be rather easy to provoke into a frothy, racist rage.
He is like the black Rahm Emanuel, but more reactive.

Holder announcing as a candidate allows for the cry of political which hunt on top of the usual racism when he becomes targeted for Fed. crimes.
