Eric Holder: ‘No Basis’ for Trump To Investigate FBI Election Meddling
Breitbart ^ | 5-22-2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 05/22/2018 6:01:42 AM PDT by blam

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.”

On Sunday, President Trump took to Twitter to demand that the Justice Department probe politically-motivated spying on his campaign.

“I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” the President said Sunday.

“If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action,” Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein said after ordering the Justice Department watchdog to probe whether the FBI’s counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign was tainted by political bias.

Trump is meeting with FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and DNI Head Dan Coats at the White House on Monday to discuss the Justice Department’s request.

Holder himself benefited from a breach of “time-honored DOJ independence” while Barack Obama was in the Oval Office. President Obama asserted executive privilege to shield an investigation into then-Attorney General Holder and “Fast & Furious,” a DOJ operation which supplied firearms to Mexican cartels — one of which was used to murder Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

Few forces in the known universe are as reliable as the certain knowledge that this piece of pure crap is lying whenever he says anything.

IF?

That horse left the barn a while ago.

More recently the question has been "Who?", and even that seems to have been revealed recently.

The newer question seems to be "How many and from which Intel agencies?"

So Hillary was correct about a Trump win of the presidency then?

She gets an extra desert in the prison cafeteria line next month.

“I pray for the day I see these rotten traitors arrested, convicted and receive the punishment due traitors*

Trump will be convinced that the traitors are to big to convict. It would throw our Republic into chaos. Nope justice will only come at the hands (nooses) of the people.

Eric, it is called blowback. You are getting a faceful. Should have let the Russia conspiracy theory go and this would not be happening.

Have you ever seen so many former officials mouthing off? Yeah, they got caught.

Hillary said they would “all hang from nooses” if Trump was elected.

There will be no shortage of stretched hemp for Holder.

Just another criminal defending criminal activity by his fellow criminals while claiming to be ethically superior to the investigators.

“‘No Basis’ for Trump To Investigate “.........

WHY is that statement a surprise, coming from Holder? He knows once the cork is out of the bottle the whole damn odumbo administration and numerous demodummie “rats” could/should indeed “HANG”. Trump will then be creating numerous new jobs, construction workers building prisons.

"[DOJ]separation from White House is a critical part of our system"

Are you freaking kidding me?? ERIC HOLDER said this??? He had his head so far up Obama's ass, the two were inseparable.

Oh my... I really lost my cookies when I read that. Hubris knows no bounds.
