During an interview with Fox and Friends Thursday morning, President Donald Trump slammed former Attorney General Eric Holder for saying leftists should "kick" Republicans.
"He better be careful what he's wishing for, that I can tell you. That's a disgusting statement for him to make. For him to make a statement like that is a very dangerous statement," Trump said. "They better be careful with the rhetoric because it's very dangerous what Holder said. Holder was held in contempt of Congress. Holder went after Christians. He went after our great evangelicals. He went after our tea party people, you know that, the IRS just settled that case."
"You know, they talk about us. We are exactly the opposite," he continued. "My rallies are really calm and well run and packed with people. We don't have problems at my rallies...They [leftists] used to send in paid protestors."
Trump also addressed rumors of the former Attorney General running for President in 2020 and said he believes Holder would be "gobbled up" in a primary.

As far as other 2020 challengers, Trump said he likes what he sees so far and looks forward to Democrats going after each other.

... but that's none of my business.
It was a pathetic joke having AG Holder as the top law officer of the U.S. for 6 years, he has the mentality of a 16 year old thug gang member.
There is a reason why Eric Himmler Holder keeps a cyanide pill in his pocket at all times.
He knows the day is coming when he will have to use it on himself.
Start here: Obama and Holder colluded against Americans threatening freedom of the press because Fox News said things or published stories Obama didnt like....
or got too close to his criminality.
He lacerated Trump, saying: " I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me call them enemies of the people.”

REALITY CHECK----N-o-o-o-o, he didnt do that....he just unleashed the full force of the DOJ, in the person of AG Eric Holder, to pounce on Fox reporter James Rosen AND to intimidate Rosen's family.
Holder and Obama issued a court order for Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails, that labeled Rosen a criminal "co-conspirator."
theguardian.com Circa 2013
Obama and AG Holder did more than seize a Fox News reporter’s emails while suggesting he was a criminal “co-conspirator” in a leak case — it did so under one of the most serious wartime laws in America, the Espionage Act. It is now well known that the Obama justice department has prosecuted more government leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined - in fact, double the number of all such prior prosecutions.
But as the controversy over the Obama and Holder’s pursuit of the phone records of AP reporters illustrated, this obsessive fixation in defense of secrecy also targets, and severely damages, journalists specifically and the news-gathering process in general.
New revelations emerged yesterday in the Washington Post that are perhaps the most extreme yet when it comes to the DOJ’s attacks on press freedoms. It involves the prosecution of State Department adviser Stephen Kim, a naturalized citizen from South Korea who was indicted in 2009 for allegedly telling Fox News’ chief Washington correspondent, James Rosen, that US intelligence believed North Korea would respond to additional UN sanctions with more nuclear tests - something Rosen then reported. Kim did not obtain unauthorized access to classified information, nor steal documents, nor sell secrets, nor pass them to an enemy of the US.
Instead, the DOJ alleges that he merely communicated this innocuous information to a journalist - something done every day in Washington - and, for that, this arms expert and long-time government employee faces more than a decade in prison for “espionage”.
The focus of a Post report is that the Obama DOJ’s surveillance of Rosen extended far beyond even what Obama did to AP reporters. The FBI tracked Rosen’s movements in and out of the State Department, traced the timing of his calls, and - most amazingly - obtained a search warrant to read two days worth of his emails, as well as all of his emails with Kim. In this case, said the Post, “investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material.” It added that “court documents in the Kim case reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist”.
But what makes this revelation particularly disturbing is that Obama's DOJ, in order to get this search warrant, insisted that Fox's Rosen - a journalist - committed serious crimes. The DOJ specifically argued that by encouraging his source to disclose classified information - something investigative journalists do every day - Rosen himself broke the law.
Describing an affidavit from FBI agent Reginald Reyes filed by the DOJ, the Post reports [emphasis added]: “Reyes wrote that there was evidence Rosen had broken the law, ‘at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator’. That fact distinguishes his case from the probe of the AP, in which the news organization is not the likely target. Using italics for emphasis, Reyes explained how Rosen allegedly used a ‘covert communications plan’ and quoted from an e-mail exchange between Rosen and Kim that seems to describe a secret system for passing along information. . . .
However, it remains an open question whether it’s ever illegal, given the First Amendment’s protection of press freedom, for a reporter to solicit information. No reporter, including Rosen, has been prosecuted for doing so.” Under US law, it is not illegal to publish classified information. That fact, along with the First Amendment’s guarantee of press freedoms, is what has prevented the US government from ever prosecuting journalists for reporting on what the US government does in secret. This newfound theory of the Obama DOJ - that a journalist can be guilty of crimes for “soliciting” the disclosure of classified information - is a means for circumventing those safeguards and criminalizing the act of investigative journalism itself.
These latest revelations show that this is not just a theory but one put into practice, as the Obama and Holder submitted court documents accusing a journalist of committing crimes by doing this. ---Snip---
Holder went to the Vernon Jordan school of ethics
That statement is not about free speech. That is incitement to riot as it denotes one group being directed to enact physical violence on to another group. A physical confrontation between groups is called a riot. He should be arrested to set the example and head off further such incitement to riot.

Law Enforcement Sources: Gun Used in Paris Terrorist Attacks Came from Phoenix
One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”
A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations—for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic—but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch.
We live in a bubble where a very few sources report serious news that never finds its way into the middle of the political dialogue.
(I might add the same condition should apply to Susan Rice if she runs in Maine)
That, too..........crumb-bum Holder needs to be called account for that.
If they go low (lower than usual) then start kicking; I guess it will be stompin' time for us leaving messy globs of smashed brains all over the pavement. Well, not much brain matter really, they don't have much to start with. Probably more like globs of black fatty goo.

With the Republicans newfound willingness to fight, that dynamic could be changing. I hope so.
A month, or two, after the midterms, we’ll have a good idea whether they fight, or lie down.
Yes, but Holder’s stepped into an arena where he can’t win.
He’s just not smart enough to realize it, yet.

Yes. Is, was and will always be a big mouthed, privileged affirmative action hire all his life.
