EXCLUSIVE: Was Obama’s Former AG Eric Holder Directing Attorneys at His Law Firm to Obtain Dirt on President Trump and Withhold Info from Their Client General Flynn?
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | Jim Hoft

President Obama’s first Attorney General, Eric Holder, left a corrupt life in public office and returned to the law firm Covington. While at Covington, lawyers from his firm represented General Mike Flynn and requested dirt on President Trump while withholding important information from General Flynn. It needs to be asked. Was Eric Holder involved?

After working for President Obama for six years, Attorney General Eric Holder returned to the law firm where he had previously worked, Covington, where he became a partner in 2015.

Covington notes that “In 2014, Time magazine named Mr. Holder to its list of 100 Most Influential People, noting that he had “worked tirelessly to ensure equal justice.” But this tells only a small part of Holder’s story as AG.

Many, including the Heritage Foundation in 2014, identified how corrupt Holder was as AG [emphasis added]:

… the American people recognize that Mr. Holder is an ideologue who considers himself part of Mr. Obama’s political team first and the attorney general a very distant second. His first loyalty has been to helping the president break, bend, ignore or fail to enforce the law, doing untold damage to our constitutional system and the rule of law.

As former Justice Department prosecutor Andy McCarthy has said, the Justice Department under Mr. Holder has become “a sort of full-employment program for progressive activists, race-obsessed bean counters and lawyers who volunteered their services during the Bush years to help al Qaeda operatives file lawsuits against the United States.”

I do not believe polls. (I knew you didn’t mean people lik me.)

The election system has become so corrupt that the last bunch of elections would have been very different if clean. THe next one is going to be much, much cleaner. A lot has been happening without a lot of fanfare. Dems can only win as they have if there is election fraud. Dead people, fake people, illegals, etcetc.

Holder is a snake no doubt, but what firm would have him if it weren’t already corrupt to begin with?

Thought you would find the filings included in this article interesting....

Flynn did not want to plead guilty and based on this filing it is clear they threatened his son, told him he would get the “Manafort treatment” and 15 years, and this is not as cut and dried as either of us believed it was.

It is pretty clear he did not have the best representation and there were conflicts with Covington. I know large firms are able to wall off things when needed, but I don’t trust some of the players in this thing.

When Janet Reno was AG, Holder was one of her assistants.

During the dustup at WACO, Holder pushed for the attack on the compound.

Holder was a partner at the Covington firm from 2001 to 2009, before he was Zero’s AG.

From the Covington website re Holder:

“Eric Holder advises clients on complex investigations and litigation matters, including those that are international in scope and involve significant regulatory enforcement issues and substantial reputational concerns. Mr. Holder, who was a partner at Covington from 2001 to 2009, rejoined the firm after serving for six years as the 82nd Attorney General of the United States.”

The firm is dirty. In February 2019, the State of California hired Holder (and Covington) to challenge the Trump administration, despite the fact he’s not licensed to practice law here.

Maybe the FBI will conduct early morning raids with guns a blazin’ at the Covington law firm offices located in WASHINGTON, LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK, PALO ALTO, and SAN FRANCISCO, while requesting our allies do the same in BRUSSELS, DUBAI, FRANKFURT, JOHANNESBURG, LONDON, and SEOUL. (Covington also has offices in Beijing and Shanghai).

Nah, they only do that to PJT’s lawyers’ offices.

Flynn’s declaration exposes the entire Covington firm to investigations for conflicts of interest, legal malpractice, mail fraud, breach of fiduciary duties to their client, and/or fraud.

Flynn was a lifelong Democrat, and registered to vote as such through at least July 2016, per multiple internet sources that seem credible. Given that the FBI and DoJ are run by the Democrat Party, he must have thought Dem lawyers would play to his advantage. Flynn might be a patriot and a good soldier, etc., but he made one foolish move after the other. It’s hard to reconcile the extent of his naivete with his career in intel.

"Was Eric Holder involved?"

Bears pooping in the woods does not go far enough.

How about, does raw sewage smell really bad?
