Girding for four years of potential battles with President-elect Donald J. Trump, Democratic leaders of the California Legislature announced Wednesday that they had hired Eric H. Holder Jr., who was attorney general under President Obama, to represent them in any legal fights against the new Republican White House.
The decision by the Legislature to retain Mr. Holder, who is now a prominent Washington lawyer, is the latest sign of the ideological battle that may play out over the next four years between this predominantly Democratic state and Washington. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president, defeated Mr. Trump by more than four million votes here.
"Having the former attorney general of the United States brings us a lot of firepower in order to prepare to safeguard the values of the people of California," Kevin de León, the Democratic leader of the Senate, said in an interview. "This means we are very, very serious."

This means that Moonbeam's democrats are very, very serious ...
An honest investigation is in order for Holder.
Holder should be in jail...at best for him.
So glad I don’t live in that POS, filthy marxist state.
california libtards sure do know how to waste money.... on illegals and now the unindicted felon Holder... a cesspool filled with stupidity...
I have high expectations for the Trump administration. He should know how to deal with charlatans like this.
Right on! Holder is going to have his hands full trying to keep himself out of prison.
Fools and a charlatan. A perfect match..............
Same chin - - or lack thereof.
So after wielding the full power (and more) or the Federal Government against states, corporations, and individuals like a hammer throughout his stint at Justice, Holder is now gonna do what? Argue for states’ rights?
I really gotta go buy more popcorn.
The only “reaching across the aisle” I want Trump to do is to slap the dog out of Liberal-Leftist criminals like Eric “The Red” Holder.
There’s no “getting along” or “bringing together” this Leftist scum. They need to be destroyed.
Maybe the Trump administration should look into prosecuting Holder for his role in the Fast & Furious betrayal of both our constitution and his oath of office.
CA is figuring Holder will pull strings with his old buddies in the Department of “Justice”. This is why it is so important to Drain The Swamp (first).
Trump needs to proclaim loudly that he’d look favorably on an extradition request from Mexico for Fast and Furious.
L
They want Holder, in expectation that he will have moles inside the DoJ feeding him info and sabotaging DoJ cases for him.
Trump needs to thoroughly fumigate DoJ.
You beat me to it. And, so should the rest of California leadership for TREASON. Let it be so.
CALexit is a good thing
Good, an Affirmative Action hire.
You can’t fix stupid.
California’s broken clock is even wrong.
No blind squirrel ever finds a nut there, even though they are everywhere.
Hey, that last line was great, I just made it up!
