Eric Holder Joins the “Resistance,” Mulls 2020 Presidential Bid - See more at: Eric Holder Joins the "Resistance," Mulls 2020 Presidential Bid
Remember Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General.
He down-played and lied about his and Obama’s Fast and Furious fiasco, refused to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation, pursued prosecution of journalists and labeled one a “c0-conspirator,” used his taxpayer-financed “slush fund” to funnel money to Obama allies until it was dismantled by AG Jeff Sessions. Holder also holds the dubious distinction of being the first sitting cabinet member to be held in (both criminal and civil) contempt of Congress.
Oh, and he did Meet the Press instead of attending the Paris Solidarity March after the terror attacks, even though he was in Paris.
In other words, he has a bright future in the Democratic Party.
Reports are now surfacing that Holder has jumped into the anti-Trump fray with both feet and is even considering running for president in 2020.
Having been hired by California to spearhead the lawfare campaign against the president, Holder had already made his intention to “resist” clear. Now, however, he wishes to take his anti-Trump activism to a whole new level.
Yahoo News conducted an exclusive interview with Holder in which he promises to use his position as a former AG and as among former president Obama’s closest friends in order to promote and champion the anti-Trump left.
More than two years after leaving the Obama administration, former Attorney General Eric Holder is reentering the political fray.
His goal: to lead the legal resistance to Donald Trump’s agenda — and perhaps even run against the president in 2020.
Seized by a sense of urgency to oppose Trump and restore what he regards as America’s best self, Holder is mulling a White House bid of his own, according to three sources who have spoken to him and are familiar with his thinking.
“Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” Holder told Yahoo News in an exclusive interview about his plans. “But that’s about to change. I have a certain status as the former attorney general. A certain familiarity as the first African-American attorney general. There’s a justified perception that I’m close to President Obama. So I want to use whatever skills I have, whatever notoriety I have, to be effective in opposing things that are, at the end of the day, just bad for the country.
“Now is the time to be more visible,” Holder added. “Now is the time to be heard.”
Launching his efforts to step up and be heard, Holder spoke out Monday in favor of new California legislation that would effectively make California a sanctuary state for illegal aliens.
