Eric Holder: ‘No Basis’ for Trump to Investigate FBI Election Meddling

Former Attorney General Eric Holder blasted President Donald Trump’s demand to investigate possible federal meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign as “dangerous” and “democracy threatening” in a message posted Monday afternoon.

“Trump demand for DOJ investigation is dangerous/democracy threatening. DOJ response is disappointing,” Holder lamented on Twitter. “There is no basis/no predicate for an inquiry. It’s time to stand for time-honored DOJ independence. That separation from White House is a critical part of our system.”

Holder himself benefited from a breach of “time-honored DOJ independence” while Barack Obama was in the Oval Office...

Sounds like someone is afraid he will be the sacrificial lamb.

Whenever naysayers like Holder get fired up in opposition to any Trump administration policies or remarks, you know it's the right thing to do.
The more the reaction, the better the policy.
This is 100 times worse than Watergate ( a self-proclaimed victory for investigative journalism) and this FBI/Justice Dept scandal is virtually unreported.

The "Deep State" is alive and well! Sessions has to be a part, why else has no one been prosecuted? They need to lock some of these people up in federal prisons to begin eliminating the participants!!!!

The reason Holder is saying this is because he is part of the “Deep State” and corruption and with an investigation could show the crimes and abuse of power by him and many others under the Obama’s administration. All this hate by Democrats, Liberals and members of the Obama’s administration is because they are trying to cover up their crimes. To bring things in this country back to better days it will take charges and eviction of those that has comment breaking the law in the FBI and DOJ. This is what conservative people mean when they say “Clean the Swamp”.

Hopefully one of these day Holder, Rosenstien, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Comey, Susan Rice, John Brennan and more will all be serving time behind bars for what they have done to this country while they were in office.
