Former President Donald Trump “probably” will be indicted on criminal charges along with officials in his White House as part of a Justice Department investigation of efforts to reverse the 2020 election results nationally, ex-Attorney General Eric Holder said in an interview Thursday.
But Holder suggested that before that happens, Trump is more likely to first face possible criminal charges from the Georgia state prosecutor who is investigating attempts by Trump and his allies to undo President Joe Biden’s win there in 2020.
Holder, who led the Justice Department during the Obama administration, made those predictions during an interview with the SiriusXM Urban View satellite radio show Joe Madison The Black Eagle.
Madison asked Holder whether he would seek to indict Trump if he still were attorney general.
Holder demurred, saying he did not have access to all the material that the Justice Department currently has regarding Trump.
But he told Madison that, based on his experience as a federal prosecutor who filed public corruption cases against elected officials, as “more evidence is elicited, you will see people start to cut deals.”
″My guess is that by the end of this process, you’re going to see indictments involving high-level people in the White House, you’re going to see indictments against people outside the White House who were advising them with regard to the attempt to steal the election,” said Holder.
“And I think ultimately you’re probably going to see the president, former president of the United States indicted as well,” he said.
The Justice Department reportedly is presenting evidence and testimony before two federal grand juries in Washington, D.C., one of which is eyeing a plan by Trump’s lawyers and others to have so-called fake electors claim that the then-Republican incumbent won the election in their individual states.

Exactly!
Eric Holder is the most god-awful creature on the planet. Wherever you look in modern day history, he’s there in some decision-making capacity. Like a time traveler. From the clenched fist from his college days to the Oklahoma City Bombing to Waco to Ruby Ridge to Elian Gonzales to Marc Rich to Trayvon Martin to Ferguson to INTERPOL to Judge John Roll to Fast and Furious to distribution of PIGFORD II billions to contempt of Congress to the millions of illegal aliens. And of course fooling around with voter changes in key states thru their Supreme Courts. There he is. How can it be? How can it all be? His wife, the younger sister of the Civil Rights icon who Democrat Alabama Gov George Wallace attempted to block from the U of A, owned a building which housed the offices of a notorious abortion doctor.
Eric Holder is knee-deep in the chaos our nation has faced. Obama could never have done it without Him.
Coming from one of those ‘above the law’ mofos.....
How quaint.
You, Biden, Clinton, Obama and your ASSociates should be in jail, Eric! Isn’t shipping guns to criminals groups in Mexico a crime?
He's directly responsible for those killed with those weapons, including a Border Patrol agent.
Even if DOJ were to indict and convict Trump, it would not stop him from running for President.
says former AG Eric Holder who was found in contempt of Congress but never raided by the FBI.
I suspect that Obama, Holder and Jarrett are running the White House and are orchestrating the AG and FBI.
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
Could the disqualification clause prevent Donald Trump from running for president in 2024?
Theoretically, yes. Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment gives Congress the power to disqualify someone who has already held a public office from holding "any office" if they participate in an "insurrection or rebellion" against the United States.
But since this mechanism has never been used against a president, there are still questions to resolve. The disqualification clause applies to current and former federal officials, state officials, and military officials. However, legal scholars are split on whether the disqualification clause applies to the presidency. It's likely the 14th Amendment will continue to come up in conversations approaching the 2024 presidential election.
They don't care.
They arrogantly and stupidly don't believe it will include their blood...
Holder would know in that he’s one of the ones orchestrating it.
Holder is an ass
If they really thought that the 2020 election was won honestly, they would have welcomed a bipartisan investigation of the results (particularly in the swing states which had Trump winning until the overnight ballot dumps for Biden), just to convince the people who voted for Trump that it was an honest outcome.
Orwellian.
Or a Catch-22?
Trump is going to jail. The Deep State controls all institutions. Why would they relinquish power? They have proof of Trump’s criminal behavior. They have a dossier. What do you want in it? Maybe the fact that Trump fathered a child with a space alien. Nothing is too absurd to be included.
Filth.
After this nonsense Im thinking thats not the case. Sorry Eric. Unless Trumps got us all fooled and they have found something, this was a set back imho.
Holder was indicted for contempt of Congress and ignored it.
And, indictment means absolutely nothing in regards running for office. But, the idiots who watch CNN will believe that it does.
Dershowitz outlined the four factors any pres candidate must satisfy to run and hold the Pres office. And, not having been either indicted or convicted is not part. A candidate can serve time for a felony and still be elected. This is theater.
Not to appear raciest, but is the the new
Watermelon Head taking the place of Shifty Schiff?
