Holder says Barr is 'paying a price' for spearheading Russia probe misconduct investigation

Holder: Concerned Barr is acting as Trump's lawyer, not attorney general

Former Attorney General Eric Holder told Fox News on Tuesday that current Attorney General Bill Barr "is paying a price" and sacrificing his credibility by spearheading U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing probe into possible misconduct by the intelligence community at the outset of the Russia investigation. Holder also remarked separately that it was a "reality" that Republicans will "cheat" in the 2020 elections by trying to "move polling places" and "a whole variety of things" -- prompting Republicans to dismiss his "outlandish and baseless accusations." Holder's comments came a day after The New York Times reported that President Trump had privately pressed Australia's leader to help Barr in that probe. However, a letter obtained by Fox News showed that Australia had proactively reached out to Trump in May to offer assistance after Trump publicly told reporters he would direct Barr to contact a variety of countries as part of the probe. "The whole thing that the attorney general is involved in is highly unusual," Holder said. "Ordering an investigation of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies when there was already an investigation underway by the inspector general."

"The whole thing that the attorney general is involved in is highly unusual," Holder said. "Ordering an investigation of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies when there was already an investigation underway by the inspector general."

Holder continued: "And then to see how the president is now involved to help the attorney general in that effort gives me pause. I think the attorney general needs to be a little more sensitive to the appearance that that gives.

These guys all believe they are untouchable. I admit, I’m wondering that myself. If only we had control of the senate.

We’re *all* paying a price because Democrats cannot accept the 2016 election results.

Holder actually took actions as if he was Obama’s personal attorney, and so did Loretta Lynch. They certainly never worked for the constitution and the rules of law. They were participants in the criminal conspiracies.

Holder and Mueller did most of Obama’s dirty work, Lynch and Comey were the clean up crew. Unfortunately for the Democrats, there was so much going on Lynch and Comey couldn't cover it all up. That is why Mueller became Special Prosecutor, and Holder is making noise in the background.

This is most certainly true, as far as I know.

He is still in contempt not only of Congress, but of the United States. It would probably serve him well to shut the gob.

I’m sure Barr appreciates advice from Holder.

Why weren’t Holder and Obama arrested and tried for running guns into Mexico, guns that were used by cartels to kill hundreds of people? President Trump’s phone call amounts to nothing compared to the crimes committed in Fast and Furious.

By the way, where was Mitch McConnell during this lawless time for America?

Indeed they do. This is evident in the fact they keep running their mouth’s in the face of investigation.
Were we under similar scrutiny our lawyers would advise strongly we Shut the Hell Up! Keep a low profile and Pray.
But, they do not.
Their arrogance and defiance in the face of scrutiny tells us all we need to know.

Getting to the bottom of a conspiracy to overthrow the votes of the American people is NOT being anyone's personal lawyer.

Holder belongs in jail for running guns to Mexican cartels.

The same IG whose report we’re all waiting for exonerated Holder for that.

Holder thinks that just because he was an AG (and corrupt one at that, esp. Fast and Furious), and that he is a black man, that he will escape justice.

Got news for Holder, the proverbial noose is slowly tightening around his neck and the noose puller is named “Blind but Sure Justice”.

He’s so dirty that he makes Janet Reno (the mafia’s best friend as AG re the LIUNA case) and Loretta Lynch (Bill Clinton’s protector and coverup liar) look like members of the “Ted Mack Amateur Hour” auditions.

We’re all paying a price because Marx resented his Dad.
