In a response to Mitt Romney, former Attorney General Eric Holder tweeted “this is not about principle” and that progressives “need to be comfortable with the acquisition-and use-of power” to “create systems reflecting the interests of the people”:

Twitter Eric Holder @EricHolder This is not about principle-it’s always been about power. Progressives need to be comfortable with the acquisition-and use-of power. We will be faced with serious questions after the election; we must use the power we have to create systems reflecting the interests of the people.

===========================================================================

We should believe them when they say this:

=================================================================

Although Joe Biden is trying to take a more measured tone before the election:

===================================================================

As is Dianne Feinstein:

I think the filibuster serves a purpose. It is not often used, it's often less used now than when I first came, and I think it's part of the Senate that differentiates itself.” ht @DanielPFlatley 5:07 PM · Sep 21, 2020

======================================================================

But moderation isn’t their plan:

Howard Dean @GovHowardDean This was not true yesterday. It will be when we take power. The entire court selection process has been corrupted and the whole system needs to be torn down and start from scratch.

THIS is the same Eric Holder who was an ASST Attorney General under Janet Reno & pushed for the attack at Waco.

The same Eric Holder whom ran the “Fast & Furious operation under Obama ghat resulted in legal gun shops being shut down for selling guns.

The same Eric Holder who gets a RETAINER from the state of California paid for by the few remaining working taxpayers there.

We are at the twilight of civil society and peaceful transitions of power. Plan and prepare accordingly.

Yes, I believe they look back at their effort during the last transition as weak and bumbling. The problem they face now, though, is they've got stupid people still running things. Doesn't mean they're not dangerous, but they will screw it up again.

I've heard Lynch mentioned as possibly facing indictment but not Osama Obama’s wing man. Has anyone heard otherwise?

Holder should be making comments from prison given his gun running operation.
