Eric Holder: I won’t run, but I will fight to elect the right Democratic president

Washington Post ^ | March 4, 2019 | Eric Holder

There is in the United States today a crisis of leadership — caused and perpetuated by an administration that uses fear to stoke divisions and lies to support broken policies. It would be easy for Americans to grow pessimistic — but as I’ve traveled to 25 states over the past year, I have found that the people of this country are better, and more caring, than these small-minded leaders would have us believe. The civic awakening we have experienced since January 2017 must become a sustained movement to reshape the future of this nation.

How disappointing.

[dead]

Eric Holder’s not going to run for President. You can feel the incredible weight of disappointment weighing down the whole country today. I don’t know that we’ll ever truly recover.

“How disappointing. “

He won’t run because he’d not survive the investigations that would follow his announcement.

[Zathras]

Holder is backing Harris.
He wants to be on the Supreme Court and will do anything to get it.

[Tell It Right]

:) :) Too true!

IMHO it means Holder knows he had dirt he doesn't want to go to prison for after he's put under the microscope.

As an enemy combatant against the United States, Butcher Uncle Tom Holden fought hard to get Trump elected.

[immadashell]

Why shouldn’t the most corrupt Attorney General in History be elected President?

The dream still lives, he could accept Weiner’s offer of VP

Holder should be in prison, just for his gun-running to the cartels. That leaves out many other criminal actions.

[morphing libertarian]

gunrunners who get border agents killed probably have a couple of black marks against their supreme court appointments.

[BlackAdderess]

I think by new ideas he may mean the wrong Harris (as distinguished from her dad).

[Daniel Ramsey]

Fighting to turn America into Canada or Australia? Which are socialist countries.

[BlackAdderess]

Given the current bunch though, there is absolutely no lack of fruits and nuts who actually make Holder look moderate by comparison. That is a scary thing, but I think it is true.

[areukiddingme1]

He should be looking for a country that does not have an Extradition treaty with the US...IMO

[bigbob]

Trump defeats another scumbag.

[1Old Pro]

Wanna bet he picks someone of color? He’s the biggest racist AG ever.

[BlackAdderess]

Canada is a socialist country that greatly benefits from proximity to the U.S. Australia is a capitalist country and the only reason Lefties might want to call it socialist is because their universal healthcare system produces unusually good results. It is also a healthcare system that has been patched, repatched, and has grown into something they can deal with (provided that they can maintain the immigration controls that are surely a scandal to all Lefties in this country. I mean, Donald Trump took in the migrants Australia refused.

We have still never seen all the Fast And Furious documents. Why?

Is this statement from 2010? Holder not running...I thought he'd already announced his candidacy, with Anthony Weiner as his mate. Yes it is

The Weiner - Holder Ticket!
