Democrats are running out of time to prevent a 2024 White House run by former President Donald J. Trump and intense pressure is being put on Attorney General Merrick Garland to pull the trigger on what will be a brazen abuse of power by the Biden administration against a political adversary.
Providing hope to those who are demanding that the nation’s top law enforcement official produce an indictment against Trump is the man who once held Garland’s job, former President Barack Obama’s loyal hatchet man Eric Holder who reversed his prior stance and now suggests that he believes there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against Trump for his role in the so-called “insurrection” on January 6, 2021.
On Sunday morning, Obama’s “wingman” appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” where he discussed the idea that Trump could face indictment, something that Democrats, much of the media, and their celebrity mouthpieces have been clamoring for despite the purely political nature of such an unprecedented preemptive strike against the opposition party’s potential nominee.
After bemoaning election integrity laws put into place in states with Republican governors to bolster voter confidence after the 2020 election which many harbor doubts about as to its legitimacy, the conversation turned to getting Trump, a task that has eluded his enemies.
“Merrick Garland you mentioned, he’s now in your old job, as attorney general,” host Margaret Brennan said. “There’s been critics of him who said that he isn’t being aggressive enough around the prosecutions regarding January the 6th, do you think that’s right?”

Holder responded, “No one knows, I mean, you know, I have great faith in Merrick and in the people at the Justice Department, we won’t really know how aggressive they have been until they are before a camera and announcing a decision, either to indict certain people or not indict certain people.”
“Here’s my prediction,” he added, “at some point, people at the Justice Department, perhaps that prosecutor in Atlanta, are gonna have to make a determination about whether or not they want to indict Donald Trump, the air is going to be…”
“Would you do it?” Brennan interrupted.
“Well, I think there’s going to be sufficient factual information,” Holder said, seeming to indicate insider knowledge of what could be coming, “and I think that there’s going to be sufficient proof of intent, and then the question becomes, what’s the impact of such an indictment?”
“I’m an institutionalist,” he added. “My initial thought was not to indict the former president out of concern of what, how divisive it would be, but given what we have learned, I think that he probably has to be held accountable.”
Garland has so far been reluctant to bow to Democrats who have been calling for him to make such an inflammatory move but with Trump hitting the road and increasingly looking like a man who is running again, the regime and a party that loves to pontificate about “democracy” could be on the cusp of taking an action that is typically within the domain of third-world banana republics.

Eric “Erckle” Holder is the last person I would take any advice from. The most crooked A.G. in the history of the U.S. These terrorist groups around now, Antifa, BLM, Occupy Wallstreet, were formed during his tenure. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Eric Holder is the only AG in America history to found in contempt of Congress. Spineless swamp creature! #FBO, #FJB, #FEH
Eric Holder is the face of injustice. He acts like the laws don’t apply to Democrats and the evil policy they push on America.
Indict Holder for gun running to the Mexican cartels that did get people killed. Come to think about it maybe that’s Holder fear if Trump gets reelected and get the opportunity really drain the swamp.
Obama/Holder …. you gotta a major problem …. Trump’s been cleared of charges concerning Jan 6th !

Didn’t Biden just do the same thing against Scotus?
All traitors should be executed by the people regardless of what job to which they may once have been appointed or ELECTED. The destructive anti-Caucasian, anti-Asian, anti-Semitic, anti-(legal)latino department of JustUs came about under the traitor Obama and this traitorous scum Holder.
The Obama wing of the Democrat Party is becoming so radical and extreme, I wouldn’t put it past them to attempt a “Lincolnesque” answer to Trump’s popularity. So far, we haven’t seen anything they won’t do…..there is no ethical line they won’t cross. Because there are no consequences.
Exactly. Thus we, the people, have to start imposing consequences on all traitors. Stop thinking that politicians will do this. All politicians must be given stark unmistakable unforgettable proof that they must fear the people and do our will.
Accountability?? Look in the mirror you f…cking a.. wipe
Fast and Furious. Holder should be in prison.
i was just going to say that thankyou.. fjb
Their time is coming, if you get the right law firm, people like obama can be taken down in court. A member of Congress named Burwell sued BHO over obamanocare … the settlement was very nice. Known as the Burwell decision you can sue BHO if you or a loved one was physically or financially harmed as a result of o’care, that’s got BHO scream’in like the little girl he is … and as more learn of this, well old BHO an his wife Moochelle, and the girls could find themselves living in a choice tent under a overpass in DC.
Holder should be in Leavenworth for his Fast and Furious crimes .Who cares what the piece of garbage has to say ?
Steadman needs to crawl back under his rock.
And the ‘evidence’ is that while Trump was speaking to the crowd and urging them to peacefully protest a semi-riot (most were invited/beckoned in) had broken out at the Capitol.
The good that could come from the Dims making such a huge tactical mistake is that Trump’s team could demand the now suppressed 14,000 hours of tapes, which would exonerate 95% of the Jan 6ers who could then sue the government for civil rights crimes.
The Dims are most certainly “The Gang that Couldn’t Shoot Straight.”
Eric Holder should be in prison.
they need to indict holer for contempt. The worthless nword is a disgrace along with moooooooootch and brock!
where is the disinformation czar on this?
Why indict when it will just be another loss at trying to convict Trump. You have had two bites at the Apple and failed both times. It is time for Holder to just obscure into history!!
What’s truly amazing is the fact that both of these individuals should be sharing the same prison cell. For what you ask? TREASON, ESPIONAGE, CORRUPTION AND COLLUSION.
Holder, ‘given what we learned…’
LO, yeah what we learned, and are still uncovering, is the criminal enterprise that was run under your & big ears regime.
Please keep talking about J6 dems.
Make that your paramount talking point and watch the slaughter in November reign down on you.
I love it 😂
Holder, how much money did the Cartels pay you for all those guns? When are you going to apologize for Americans killed by those guns?
Right! I was thinking the same thing how many lives were loss because of all those guns he gave out. Not to legal gun owners nooo to cartels. He’s the one who belongs in jail for insurrection…
I used to think Eric Holder was the worst Attorney General in history but now we have Merrick Garland. It’s so hard to decide…..
but this is lunch bucket Joe from Scranton.
The uniter, the every man, the moderate the guy who got 81 million votes from his basement🙄
Why isn’t this man who was and is an accessory to murder making his false accusations from a prison cell?
Thats why their trying to indict Trump now. If they dont do it now, they will lose their chance to cover up their crimes.
