Former Attorney General Eric Holder publicly urged his former employees at the Justice Department to defy President Trump’s request for transparency and public disclosures of information related to the unprecedented spy operation launched in 2016 against the Trump campaign.

More DOJ norms being eroded. Trump-a SUBJECT of the investigation-wants access to material related to the inquiry. His Congressional supporters want evidence connected to an ongoing investigation. Time for DOJ/FBI to simply say no-protect the institutions and time tested norms. — Eric Holder (@EricHolder) May 21, 2018

Holder’s insistence that the DOJ and FBI “protect the institutions” rather than carry out their constitutional duties and protect the constitution, the document they actually swear to protect when entering their federal positions is telling and rather frightening.

They each swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Not “the institution”.

To my old Navy ears, it sounds like Holder is yelling:
Batten the hatches! General Quarters! Abandon Ship!”.

This is what some perverted ‘justice’ into ‘just-us’. Holder will never be a US president.

The Third Reich was an institution.

Alinsky rules for radicals backfire here Eric boy, when you "attack individuals and never institutions", defending institutions as a result of attacking individuals is just pure pretzel logic.

This is exactly what I am thinking. Obama presided over the worst criminal behavior of the executive branch in History. Not even the corrupt Clinton White House was so recklessly criminal in their behavior and conduct. Obama pushed the envelope, and I hope he pushed it past the breaking point.

His entire administration needs to be in prison.

“Time tested norms”? So, it’s an everyday thing for the DOJ to try to topple the sitting President? Right . . .

So far outside the Alinsky playbook the cry is on deaf ears to the trench left.

The law and order hating social justice warriors are begging from those they prompted and funded to hate institutions of law, to jump up and defend those institutions?
