Did Eric Holder’s ‘threat’ to John Durham amount to obstruction of justice?
The National Seninel ^ | 12/14/2019 | Jon Dougherty

Posted on 12/14/2019 6:37:03 AM PST by Kevin in California

Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who ran the Justice Department like it was a division of the Democrat Party instead of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post Wednesday that could certainly be seen as a threat to U.S. Attorney John Durham.

Holder, who was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to honor lawful subpoenas for information about the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal but was let off the hook by a federal judge Obama appointed, claimed that current AG William Holder is “unfit” to hold his office because he deigned to disagree with some of DoJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s conclusions in his just-released report on the FBI’s FISA abuses.

Namely, that Horowitz found ‘no political bias’ in the FBI’s pursuit of surveillance warrants against a member of the 2016 Trump campaign.

I can’t wait to see what John Durham has on Eric The Red.

See, I am a ‘real’ guy, call it like it is. That said, despite position and whether peeps not thinking people in high positions should not talk thusly, I would have let it out so how that my response to HolderIdiot would have been as straight forward as possible: “F**k off, Has-been!” But yeah, I suppose that is why I like Trump, a straight shooter that doesn’t use the language I do because of his position (cause I know for a fact he was used some serious crass/choice words otherwise). GG.

” current AG William Holder is “unfit”
Proofread would make this story easier to understand.

Big typo in this article - “current AG William Holder”.

This coming from 0bama’s self-avowed “wingman” is comical. It’s just another case of a black calling the kettle pot.

“Namely, that Horowitz found ‘no political bias’ in the FBI’s pursuit of surveillance warrants against a member of the 2016 Trump campaign.”

Nobody but the most partisan democrat believes that!

The fact that Horowitz kept repeating it, and the dems kept repeating it, over and over, makes it seem like the talking point was coordinated.

Holder just confirmed the commonly used adage re: Democrats. They accuse the Republicans of behavior that they themselves are guilty of. It’s a tried and true tactic that the Dems always revert to when they are in trouble.

But Holder is wrong in his conclusion regarding the office of AG. Our Dept. of Justice is supposed to uphold truth and justice, not the twisted concept that Holder is depicting. No respectable AG supports his/her employees when they are dishonest.

Imagine a Republican controlled House and a re-elected DJT in 2021, and it might.

The keep saying no political bias in their actions but he actually said, he found no documentary or testimonial evidence of bias.

What does that mean? He did not find a piece of paper saying, let’s get a warrant to spy on Trump so we can mess up his election chances or so we can impeach him nor did anyone say that they did it in testimony. But there was evidence that they did things that were shady and/or outright illegal and these same people expressed a political bias against the President. He just could not find a document that stated it.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like it duck, it most likely is a duck.

They committed crimes against the people for a decade now - it's time for payback.
