Eric Holder: ‘Any Competent’ Prosecutor Could Win Obstruction Case Against Trump
Breitbart - Politics ^ | 4-19-2019 | Joshua Caplan

Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder claimed Friday that any “competent” prosecutor would be able to make a successful obstruction of justice case against President Trump based on the findings outlined in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“ANY competent public corruption prosecutor would bring obstruction charges against Trump/and win. Only reason Mueller did not was because of the flawed DOJ [Justice Department] restriction against indicting a sitting President. He said so (below). Congress now has a constitutional responsibility,” Holder wrote on Twitter.

He’s probably right, if competence involves finding an Obama-appointed judge, hiding evidence, making false claims, and sending someone to jail until SCOTUS reverses the conviction with prejudice.

See the Arthur Anderson case for a template. A truck driven by Weissman himself.

We really have become a banana republic when someone can be convicted of obstruction with no underlying crime (or not charged with a crime when the crime is obvious if well-connected.)

“Lawyers are not supposed to testify against their clients.”

Trump released him from executive privilege.

Wasn’t Holder in charge of Fast and Furious?

Yes, and he should be in prison.

Thank god there are no competent Democrat prosecutors.

If that released him from lawyer-client privilege, then he can’t complain.

Trump isn’t complaining. Trump is getting his view out there.

That report only shows one side. There are always two sides to every story.

Since Holder is still a free man, I'm going to go ahead and ask if there are any "competent" prosecutors left in the federal government, after eight years of Holder and his dear leader.....

"...Any Competent’ Prosecutor Could Win Obstruction Case Against Trump..."

Which pretty much rules out him.

He has a vested interest as well in having the Trump Presidency destroyed. Bank on that.

Holder not being in prison, another sign that we in the U.S. have a two-tier system in place to save face.

I believe McGahn testified with the approval of the Trump administration. They could have asserted either attorney-client or executive privilege, but did not.

Any competent lawyer could put Holder away for life for the crimes he has committed.
