Eric Holder, former attorney general for President Obama, predicts that special counsel Robert Mueller already has an obstruction of justice case against President Trump and that he is stalling so he can make it as juicy as he can and bring it before a grand jury.
"Well I think that you technically have an obstruction of justice case that already exists," Holder said on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday. "I've known Bob Mueller for 20, 30 years. My guess is, he's just trying to make the case as good as he possibly can."
The Mueller investigation has produced several indictments so far. The first came down against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates, who were charged with money laundering and conspiracy against the United States. The next indictments came against former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and national security advisor Michael Flynn. Last month, Mueller also charged 13 Russian nationals for interfering in our elections, with a 37-page report detailing how the defendants posed as grassroots political activists advocating for and against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer have also been charged in the Mueller probe.
None of the indictments, however, have charged Trump and his associates of colluding with Russia.
Still, Holder charged that the president has not properly addressed the Russian conspiracy. He has "done nothing to prepare us for what is to come" and he's been "derelict in his duties," the former attorney general maintained.
The scandal may very well derail his re-election efforts, both he and Maher suggested, especially if Democrats start throwing around the word "treason."
The Mueller investigation has been complicated by a controversial memo released by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee detailing FISA abuses at the FBI. Trump said that the document, which claims that the agency spied on members of his campaign, "vindicates" his team from wrongdoing.
What I’d like to know is why Sessions isn’t developing a case against Holder. Or, if he is, I’d like a hint.
AMEN, Brother.
The victor will not be determined until the war is over - and it is far from over.
This is raw power reminiscent of Caesar v. Pompey.
We are likely in for some very rough sledding, indeed.
Because he's never been charged with a crime, much less convicted? Because when he was charged with contempt, Obama let him walk and the media said nothing?
I dunno... Ask Jeff Sessions.
At some point we need to start asking the people we voted for why Eric Holder is walking around.
I would love to see this asshat Holder convicted and sent to prison for no less than 25 years for his crimes against America while he was the AG.
Holder is trying to incite panic like a good community organizer and fascist revolutionary.
There is no such case. If Muller is foolish enough to try and bring a spurious case he will get egg on his face.
The situation is basically “Trump look at me nasty so I was intimidated and didn’t pursue justice...wahhhh”
7 million in taxpayer’s money and counting!
I believe a president would have to be impeached, first.
Obviously Holder is really concerned about his crimes. Trying to deflect.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sounds right
looks like the noose is tightening on holder too
Jeff Sessions is protecting this criminal Holder.
That makes sense.. Thanks for clarifying!
No KIDDING!! I have NO faith that Horowitz, who is most likely a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT since he’s Jewish. I think my Jewish Husband is the ONLY conservative Jew in the US!
Every scum bag in the Obama regime know they are facing the death penalty if they don’t stop Trump. Hillary Clinton herself admitted that she was destined for the gallows if she did not win the election.
For Eric “Himler” Holder, he knows that he has a reserved seat on the electric chair once the war crimes tribunal commences and all of America is made aware of the atrocities the Obama regime committed.
PUT ERIC HOLDER IN PRISON
That makes two of us. D.C. denizens play the game/stage kabuki. But in the end there are two main rules:
One, if Democrats are the target, don’t rock the boat.
Two, if Republicans are the target, anything goes.
.
A president cannot obstruct justice. (all prominant legal scholars agree on this)
A president cannot be ‘indicted’ by anyone but the House of Representatives.
This is all a PR circus.
.
Eric Withholder knows all about how to game the system and promote civil injustice.
“You can NOT indict a sitting president for anything.”
I completely reject this claim. While some “experts” offer this opinion, no law or article of the constitution suggests this. In fact jail time upon conviction would not automatically remove the president from office. As a practical matter, prosecuting the chief executive would be next to impossible, but a president is not a king.
Eric Holder is an incompetent clown who has delusions of becoming the President of the United States.
