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."

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.

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

What??

Mr. Holder, are you now admitting, after 3 yrs of your bullshit, that there was "misconduct" in the phony Russia investigation?

[familyop]

So Holder is afraid of something.

Eric “I’m Obama’s wing man” Holder? that Holder?

[BigEdLB]

Barr will personally pay for Holder’s orange jumpsuit. After all it’s for someone who was previously in the position he now holds. I guess that is the pride being paid?

[YogicCowboy]

Says Barry’s Wingman.

He need not worry: Barr is more devoted to protecting the institutions from disastrous scandal.

Yertle was tryin to figure out how he got on the post, and whut he was supposed to do.

Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question Thursday about when he might leave the administration. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to President Barack Obama.

“I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy. So we’ll see,” Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show.
