Oh My: Former Attorney General Eric Holder Considering A 2020 Run
Townhall ^ | June 20, 2017 | Matt Vespa

Well, if there’s one candidate who could get the conservative base in the Republican Party to unite, even those who don’t like Donald Trump, it’s former Attorney General Eric Holder. Apparently, the former top law enforcement official is considering a 2020 run against Trump (via The Hill):

Former Attorney General Eric Holder is poised to take a more active role in opposing President Trump, telling Yahoo News in an interview published Tuesday that "now is the time to be more visible" — including weighting a 2020 presidential bid. “Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” said Holder, who served for six years in the Obama administration. “But that’s about to change. I have a certain status as the former attorney general. A certain familiarity as the first African-American attorney general." "There’s a justified perception that I’m close to President Obama. So I want to use whatever skills I have, whatever notoriety I have, to be effective in opposing things that are, at the end of the day, just bad for the country." […] In the first months of Trump's presidency, Holder has been serving as outside counsel to the California state legislature, where he has helped Democrats devise a legal strategy for hampering the president's policies.

Can one run for office from prison?
he surely needs to be in prison for influence peddling and corruption.

Holder has almost nothing to offer to anyone beyond inner city angry young blacks. That’s waaaay to small a group to run on...

Unless the ‘Rats primary him first, he will have the mindless racists’ votes, and the “Bikers got what they deserved in Waco” fascists’ votes, and then blame whitey for a humiliating defeat.

I wish Sessions would finally do something right!!!
If not, resign already.

BTW, it’s outrageous how there are CRICKETS today about Obummer locking up all pertinent “Masking” documents, etc.,
to be ensconced in his library for at least five years.
Holder, Lynch, Rice, Powers, Crooked Hillary, etc. thus shielded and skating free of any probes.

This oughta be rich. Vote Holder. He kept things interesting.

No. That doesn’t quite capture him. Vote Holder. Unless you’re a federal employee who doesn’t like to get shot.

Too wordy. How about “Vote Holder. You already got free cell phones. Now you can have free guns.”

We’ve already tried an affirmative action presidency. It was a crippling failure.

Steven Cole-Bear is out recruiting Warren Cock and Stuart Holster to run so that he can re-live, over and over, that tasteless not-funny-but-sad attempt of joke dreamed up by a classless sycophant writer that Trump is Putin’s cock holster.

His coming indictment may put a kink in those plans.

This delusional seditious clown has slipped the bonds of the known universe in his delusional treason and is now a space cadet out there somewhwere.

Can't think of any other criminal in a position of greater abuse and corruption to our Constitution and our inviolable Bill of Rights, causing huge damage to our liberties and freedoms. A transcendental and fatal attempt to destroy The Republic.
Your choice, Eric. Go for it!

"Status?" Sure, but more akin to Nicolae Ceausescu, Idi Amin, Moammar Khaddafi, and Saddam Hussein. The Twelfth Immam he ain't. But if he tries, he would eventually be wearing a tall street light as a necktie, no doubt about that.
No big bad black army of thugs, whether his or Barack's has a prayer of preventing it.

I really think Eric Holder would be a good candidate (for us).
