Eric Holder says he’s considering a run for the White House
NY Times ^ | February 7, 2018 | Mark Moore

Eric Holder, former President Barack Obama’s attorney general, confirmed Wednesday that he’s considering throwing his hat in the ring for the 2020 presidential race.

“We’ll see,” he said during a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, DC.

He was asked if he’s mulling a run for the White House because he’s learning how to raise funds and giving political speeches.

“I think I’ll make a decision by the end of the year about whether or not there is another chapter in my government service,” he replied.

Holder, who served as attorney general from 2009 to 2015, has been traveling the country speaking out against the gerrymandering of congressional districts.

Eric Holder says he’s considering a run for the White House

I think the "We need to elect a guy who is black so we can show how non-racist we are!" mood is all played out.

Obama exhausted us from having to constantly ignore his corruption and incompetence, and we just aren't in the mood to do it again.

...these people think that becoming a “candidate” will help innoculate them from prosecution...

That's the right answer! He may be also trying to position himself as a VP candidate, which is not far-fetched at all.

He’s not photogenic, he’s a smirking @ss with all the personality of a $#!+house rat and just about as crazy. Dirty as all get out, too. So, run, Eric Holder, run! The Democrat Party needs more candidates with your potential.

This is a good time for Congress to go after the documents he withheld from them. Of course I am sure that they have all been destroyed.

But this is a sign the Congress needs to look into everything Holder.

Does he think that running for one federal institution will prevent him from being convicted and sent to a different one?

ValJar/ soros can get more out of him and faster than the semi competent Obama. Good tool.

Hahahahaha. Holder for President, eh?

At least Obama was halfway photogenic and could fake being articulate and fool people into thinking he was smart.

This Holder cat is a pretty dopey guy. He can't disguise the hate in his eyes like Obama could. AND he's as ugly as my first ex wife's ass if her ass was on top of this bony geek's shoulders. Also, he needs chin replacement therapy.

Seriously, Eric. Think this through.

More likely that Eric Holder is planning a run for the border (to escape arrest, trial, and conviction for his crimes),.
