Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder lost his temper on Thursday in reaction to details surrounding the Democratic prosecutor and Obama administration holdover who dropped the case against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, telling a reporter to "shut the hell up" and accusing him of wanting to "use the justice system for political reasons."
What are the details?
Investor's Business Daily alum and RealClearPolitics contributor Paul Sperry tweeted Tuesday, "BREAKING: Molly Gaston, the asst US Attorney who signed letter to McCabe's lawyer informing McCabe she was closing criminal case against him, is Democrat who's given thousands to Dems including Obama & who once worked for Dem side of House Oversight & whose mother worked for WaPo."
On Thursday night, Holder replied to Sperry, "Why don't you shut the hell up. Your bias is showing. I bet you've never been a prosecutor or have any idea how DOJ works. People like you-who want to use the justice system for political reasons-are both dangerous and ignorant. The case was-like you-an obvious loser."
The Twittersphere pointed out that Mr. Holder is a partner at Covington & Burling LLP, the same law firm where Gaston's father, Eugene Gulland, is senior counsel.
According to Fox News, Sperry "has often been critical of Holder, the Justice Department, and current Attorney General William Barr."
Sperry tweeted Thursday night, "Eric Holder completely politicized DOJ so he has a lot of gall weighing in on this issue." What's the background?
The Justice Department launched an investigation into McCabe in 2018, following a criminal referral from DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz. McCabe, who now works for CNN, was accused of lying to investigators and leaking sensitive information to the media.
On Feb. 14, Gaston and DOJ Fraud & Public Corruption Section Chief J.P. Cooney sent a letter to McCabe's attorneys informing them that "the Government has decided not to pursue criminal charges against your client."
Paul Sperry often exposes facts that liberals hate.
Another one for the hangman’s noose.
“Eric the Red” shows his true colors.
Questions too close to home??
Holder is as corrupt as they come, good to see him have a break down when exposed.
When will Holder stand trial for accessory to murder?
‘Among the report’s 300 pages is the committee’s finding that Holder regarded the family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry as a “nuisance.”’
Like the Clintons, the only lives worth anything is their own.
The entire Justice Department is still full of Holder’s people because there has been no housecleaning.
Holder is a racist and the most corrupt AG in history.
Me thinks the man doth protest too much.
I will cheer with uttermost exuberance on the day this bastard takes a dirt nap.
“Prosecutorial discretion” has now become “persecutorial deflection”, a most curious turn of events. Eric Holder, while Attorney General, had no problem with turning a blind eye to broad swaths of highly illegal actions by groups that were to be “protected”, but went all out to run the “Fast & Furious” gun running effort to sneak guns into Mexico illegally, in an ambitious scheme to totally outlaw guns here in the US, because “they are too easy to obtain.”
Holder is self declared as Obama’s wingman.
This means he will kill any threat that gets near him and cover Obama’s ass no matter what it takes to get it done.
Holder is square under the cloud of responsibility for allowing firearms to be shipped south of our border, illegally, so that they could be used at a later time to kill our border patrol agents.
Holder authorized this activity, stood behind this fracturing of federal laws, and they blocked any and all investigations when these semi auto firearms were proven to have been used to kill border patrol agents on our side of the border.
Holder should be two cells down from Hil LIAR y in a federal prison somewhere.
Holder just realized his political future is over.
Loretta Lynch is up there pretty high as corrupt too.
Me thinks he thinks he is still the AG - trying to intimidate everyone...thinks his shiff doesn’t stink anymore!
well I for one hope he ends up where all the criminals of his kind end up...
Hahahahaha
“”use the justice system for political reasons.””
Has he been asleep since the inauguration of 2017?
Neither does Trump.
