Former Attorney General Eric Holder will back the California Legislature in potential legal clashes with the incoming Trump administration.

Holder, currently a partner at the law firm Covington & Burling, will serve as an adviser and outside counsel to help "resist any attempts to roll back the progress California has made" — in particular with climate change, health care, civil rights and immigration issues, legislative leaders said Wednesday.

...blame it on the Russians and Bush and then go cash his check.
They can no longer "blame it on Bush" he's/they're all in with Hillary and the Democrats on the anti-Trump plan.

After he is convicted of lying and treason in the Fast & Furious gun scam, Holder can do his slimy lawyer tricks from a federal penitentiary.

Most of them now have excellent legal libraries for use by their criminal clientele.

Re the Once-Golden-State...

If you like your regulations, you can keep your regulations.

Priceless!

He’s dumb as a rock and relies on his color to get a job. CA better not count on his acumen to save them….but he will take care of himself nicely while in their employ.

Holder should be arrested for his many, many crimes. Cut off Fed funding to Cali and see how they pay this racist criminal bum.

Has California ever heard of the tenth amendment to the constitution? They already have the power to create environmental laws, for free. Paying Eric Holder is not required.

California hired Holder for a couple of reasons, he is a committed leftist, and they think he holds some political clout and they think he is a capable lawyer. But what they fail to realize is that Holder is uncapable and has only attained his advanced positions through affirmative action and outright racism. Also without obama’s presidency behind him he has almost no political muscle. California made a costly mistake.

Let me get this straight. The very same Eric Holder who sued Arizona for exercising state sovereignty is going to sue the federal government to allow California to exercise state sovereignty? The hypocrisy of marxists knows no bounds.

Trump is the kind of soon President that his patience is thin with criminal communists hacks such as Holder. Trump will crush this ars and California will suffer under Trumps blows.

I hope Holder gets lots of money for selling his race down the river.

Trump should tap Newt Gingrich to form a judicial review committee

Newt has a big brain and an even bigger mouth. He's a loose cannon that Trump should keep at a minimum 10,000 foot distance from his administration.

Holder, currently a partner at the law firm Covington & Burling

The law firm that brought you Alger Hiss and Eric Holder.

True, but Newt has expressed enthusiasm for impeaching judges in the past. And he does have the intelligence to pursue it.

Got someone else in mind?

They must be planning to do something illegal. You hire a crook to do such things.
