Eric Holder joins the anti-Trump resistance — and mulls a presidential campaign of his own
Yahoo News ^ | June 20, 2017 | Andrew Romano

More than two years after leaving the Obama administration, former Attorney General Eric Holder is reentering the political fray.

His goal: to lead the legal resistance to Donald Trump’s agenda — and perhaps even run against the president in 2020.

[snip]“Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” Holder told Yahoo News in an exclusive interview about his plans. “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.

Eric Holder was instrumental in helping set back race relations 60 years. He is nothing but lowlife scum and utterly unfit to be president.

Only a Democrat, found in contempt of Congress, could consider a Presidential run, and be taken seriously by the "media"...

I’m all for him finding out for himself how much those things help him climb to the top of the heap.

Not another America-hating idiot who hopes to win the presidency by being black!
At least bammy was charming and charismatic. This guy is as likeable as a recent picture of hillary.

Haha... so true. I hope he gets Fast and Furious about this run. I’m sure the family of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry will be first in line to vote for him along with all the other Border Patrol agents. Then there’s the families of those hundreds of murdered Mexicans him obummer are responsible for.

So yeah Holder, go for it, and make Lynch your VP running mate while you’re at it or maybe the big Mooch and Wookie. Bumper stickers could say Holder Lynched or Holder Big Wookie. The jokes would practically write themselves.

He should get all the BLM and Black Panther vote, probably even all the hood rats who are allowed to vote (all 10 of them), and of course all the militant fringe groups that now are what the dem party is comprised of and lest we forget; the feminist white male dems under the boot heel of the femnazis. What could possibly go wrong!

Holder will be remembered for this:

Holder's "men" handling arrest of innocent child (Elian Gonzales).

I can see the campaign ads now:

He's not quite as corrupt as Loretta Lynch

How about this...

"Hi, I'm Eric Holder.

I was held in contempt of Congress, as I held up their oversight. I helped impede congressional investigations of a weaponized internal revenue service that persecuted my political ememies. I engineered the pardon of the biggest tax cheat in American History. I ran guns to narco-terrorists, who used those guns to murder hundreds of innocent Mexicans, and 2 American law enforcement agents. I helped to inflame race relations, ensuring that identity politics ruled America.

I'll take political corruption to a whole new level, rivaling the worst 3rd world countries! Vote for me, Eric Holder. Why settle for the "lesser" evil?"

Mark
