Former Attorney General Eric Holder ripped President Trump for saying that he has the "absolute right" to do what he wants with the Department of Justice, calling the comments "wrong" and "dangerous."

"Wrong/dangerous. Trump doesn’t have absolute rights with DOJ. But women and men there have ABSOLUTE duty to follow Constitution and rule of law — not a man. Career DOJ people have ABSOLUTE right to defy illegal orders. And they will. I know them," Holder wrote in a tweet on Friday.

The dishonest people from the corrupt Obama administration are lying and fighting to protect the corruption in the DOJ.

FUEH

Would love to see this POS brought up on charges.

*** But women and men there have ABSOLUTE duty to follow Constitution and rule of law.* Yeah, whatever Eric. If you believed that was true, you would be seeking asylum in a Country with no extradition treaties with the USA! KMA - MAGA!

Hey,Holder....how about that meeting in Phoenix between your successor and BillyBob! A stroke of genius,eh! That is if that pesky local reporter hadn't just happened upon it.

It was wrong and dangerous to let the Kenyanesian Usurper into office.

He appointed Eric Holder as AG who thought it would be a good idea to ship guns to Mexican cartels to undermine the 2nd Amendment in the USA.

“And they will. I know them,”

This retard actually outed his fellow obamatard minions are still lurking? Amazing. Didn’t he know he just gave Trump the bat signal that the DOJ cannot be trusted.

Hey Eric. Don’t look behind you but they’re coming for you next.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Holder isn’t in Gitmo yet!?!?

[zek157]

Anyone remember fast & furious?

Eric should be sitting in Leavenworth for a couple more decades.

This is one reason for Trump going hyperbolic. In the inevitable ego centered defensive move, valuable things are revealed.

I take outrageous Trump with a grain of salt. Some of this stuff is palpably farce. If Democrats were more level headed they’d not take the bait.

[BenLurkin]

Holder is one of the Obamunists who belongs in Pelican Bay.

[ronnie raygun]

I hope in my lifetime I see them do the perp walk right to jail

[Flavious_Maximus]

“Career” DOJ people do not need to obey illegal orders.

Who are they that they can decide what is or isn’t an illegal order? Trump needs to make sure they are no longer career employees. Eric Himmler Holder will get his due eventually. He doth protest to much.

[eyeamok]

And with that comment I would Order AG Sessions to ARREST him and Charge him with Obstruction of Justice over his Contempt of Congress, then I would Call President Pinata from Mexico and Urge him to File Murder and Smuggling charges against Holder for Fast and Furious, then Happily have him extradited.

It’s hard to believe that anybody as ‘Dirty’ as Holder and Hillary would not keep their mouth shut.

"But women and men there have ABSOLUTE duty to follow Constitution and rule of law — not a man."

Mr. "Holder, the problem is you did not and those at the top of the Justice Department and the FBI are not at the present moment." The present cesspool that is the Justice Department is the legacy of you and Loretta Lynch. You Mr. Holder along with Lynch and Comey and McCabe are the putrid center of government crimes against law.

[neverevergiveup]

Eric Holder wouldn't know what an honest Justice Department looked like. He felt justified in manipulating the Justice Department for years in order to protect the illegalities of the Obama administration, and that he now has the audacity to criticize Trump is beyond irony, and beyond shameless.
