Eric Holder, the attorney general who famously oversaw the scandalous Fast and Furious, and who used his Department of Justice position to tap into telephone lines of journalists, came out publicly denouncing President Donald Trump’s decision to declassify certain FISA documents as a “dangerous abuse of power.”
Well, Holder would know, wouldn’t he?
This is an especially dangerous abuse of power by this President. He places his self interest above the national security interests of the country. https://t.co/KJohV6V3tY

Truly, this is how the Democrats do: Whatever they accuse the Republicans of, you can pretty much bank on the fact they’re guilty of doing the same.
They accuse of what they know. And they do so in order to distract the American people from their own guilt.
More from the Washington Times:
Former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Tuesday that President Trump’s decision to declassify FISA court documents and Justice Department messages about the Russia investigation is “an especially dangerous abuse of power.”
Mr. Holder criticized Mr. Trump for holding, “his self-interest about the national security interests of the country.”
Mr. Trump announced the move Monday afternoon, after repeated requests from Republicans in both chambers of Congress.
The 19 documents declassified would provide an insight to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application process, FBI interviews with DOJ official Bruce Ohr, and interview reports regarding the FISA application to conduct surveillance on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Republicans contend that Mr. Ohr had a hand in organizing the Steele dossier, which they argue was the basis for spying on Mr. Page and the Russia investigation into the Trump campaign.
Mr. Trump has denied all wrong doing and argued he is the victim of a “witch hunt.” The president claims that Democrats, who were connected to the Steele dossier, are the ones truly guilty of colluding with Russians.

Which raises an interesting question; might the devil himself virtue signal by objecting to sin? I bet he would.

Brian Terry was a former Marine Staff Sergeant who was killed protecting the Border by Drug Cartel members armed with an AK-47 provided him by Eric Holder and our Nobel Peace Laureate in Operation Fast and Furious.
Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress.. the only attorney general in American history to have been held in criminal contempt of Congress.

Here’s the problem with contempt of Congress: The DOJ is the entity to investigate and convict. You may well recall, obimbo’s / holder’s DOJ stated that there wasn’t enough evidence …. Congress is a toothless tiger.

He is correct. Its dangerous to Demonrats/RINO’s as they’ll get exposed and it can be beginning of prosecution !
Crooks and pro-jihadi criminals all around. CNN and MSM canonises Mc Cain while Egyptian media expose him for being Leading supporter of Muslim Brotherhood in America and Middle east https://tinyurl.com/y9hk3dpk
Its absurd and farcical how MSM Lies and brainwashes American citizens

I think you are probably right that his actions as AG need to be thoroughly vetted. But I am concerned that he may be correct in this instance- that Trump may be compromising sources and methods by declassifying this information.
Here is an example of an instance in which I wish I had more confidence in Trump, viz that he would not, for personal gain, compromise sources and methods in an ongoing investigation. Those are things that need to be protected. Unfortunately, Trump’s antics give me no such confidence.

Why don’t you go and actually read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” … that, although you “tried” to reference such, it was painfully obvious that you never opened the cover?
And, just like this “comment” of yours … You continue to HUMILIATE yourself. Truly, you are a blithering idiot’s blithering idiot … a guttersnipe of a simpleton.
Although, I would miss your absence, while you tried to read it (estimated time for you to complete that work …. around four and a half years) … as you are SO much fun to laugh AT.

Progressive liberals – It’s only an abuse of power to release information about “deep state” players. It is ethical and within the rights of the Feds to tap/spy/steal/invade/lie/copy the records of everyone else.

I think he has it backwards. The FISA warrant was an abuse of power. It should be released so the American people can have the names of the players. They should all be arrested as the warrant was obtained illegally.
