lizzybean3712 So can a former President. Government is no longer their safe space. tick....tick.....tick.....it's coming.

The absolute TRUTH is needed without the political rhetoric from both sides. Half truths, innuendos, hyperbole, and media guessing are not good enough because American reputation is at stake.

Of course the constitution should be the only basis for that decision. Not DOJ

So can a former AG

stevekerrigan Leggo !!!

Good!!get this M.F. Out!!!

And a sitting AG, EricHolder, can be held in contempt of Congress and absolutely nothing happened to him. Remember?

According to the worst blind AG ever.

AG Holder is also full of it. A president being impeached is virtually impossible..and never forget who will take his place -- VP Mike mike_pence --insurance realDonaldTrump Donald will never be impeached.

227 comments? I can feel the dream fading can't you. PsycoCrats are done it's only a matter of time.

For what. Making America great again.

Stop tweeting the same MSNBC propaganda. Note that a former AG can be indicted as well.

Lol! We laughed at this. He’s trying to create drama. No, he cannot be indicted at the end of the day. Another example of the relentless attack by those who hate Trump. Get over it, he won and he’s going to win again in 2020!

Excellent news.

It would be more significant coming from John Ashcroft or argonzales as there would be a better chance of the radical right listening to them.

Obummer’s lap dog says😂

Indict already geez

So can an a former AG, President, and Sec of State

Investigate this...

I don’t necessarily agree. I can see a viewpoint that says the House & Senate are the real check on the President & if they remove the Pres that Pres could then be subject to criminal indictment.

No one, not even a sitting president, is above the law.

TheEliasRework It must suck to be a former US attorney general and it just not matter one iota what you think.

And should be!

Of course. Not above the law.

SEEMS LIKE AN OBJECTIVE SOURCE.... GOOD JOB MSNBC! Ha ha ha ha. What a joke

This sitting president MUST be indicted

Eric Holder should have been indicted for lying to congress, but of course the DOJ, I mean he did not indict himself. Talk about above the law.

As much as I like Eric Holder he should probably not say anything about that do as to not be partisan even though that's all the GOP has been. Let the GOP explain everything away (good luck lmao,) when the book(s) get thrown at them..should be fun to watch.

And the sheep keep bleating!!! Waaa waaa I’m important!! MetooWhine

Please send note to the USSupreme_Court affirming this fact. The president is not NotAboveTheLaw

And who would believe Mr. Fast and Furious that sold guns to the Mexican cartels and then lied about it

Holder is not one to listen too !! Doesn’t he have scandal himself 🤔🤔

Yea! Indict away.

Holder should be indicted.

Jackiej19541 Former Attorney General Eric Holder: Yes, A Sitting President Can Be Indicted!

Jackiej19541 Congress Senate WhiteHouse EricHolder Absolutely, It Is Not In The Constitution That A Sitting President Can Not Be Indicted! Yep,Trump Can Be Indicted!

kstreet111 Let’s do it!

I can’t believe DOJ came up with that obviously unconstitutional opinion in the first place.

A former AG citing the 'OPINION' of a MEDIA website to try to make a point of law is not only laughable, but incompetent BS.

They just need definitive proof that a crime was committed. Where is Mueller, his investigation and proof?!?!?!

So can a former Attorney General.

MR.HOLDER, PLEASE DO NOT TOY W/MY ETHICAL HEART. IT CAN & HAS BEEN BROKEN BEFORE. THIS TIME IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. AS A PATRIOT, I CAN NO LONGER TOLERATE THE INGRATE IN THE WHITE HOUSE/GOV. PLEASE DELETE HIM/THEM W/ALL THE MIGHT THE LAW WILL ALLOW. 💔

MR.HOLDER, PLEASE DO NOT TOY W/MY ETHICAL HEART. IT CAN & HAS BEEN BROKEN BEFORE. THIS TIME IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. AS A PATRIOT, I CAN NO LONGER TOLERATE THE INGRATE IN THE WHITE HOUSE/GOV. PLEASE DELETE HIM/THEM W/ALL THE MIGHT THE LAW WILL ALLOW. 💔

realDonaldTrump Trump our country fell into the hands of enemies,you are the president of the United State of America elected by the people. You took the oath&sworn in your inauguration to protect&defend our country.the left party is endangering our country.

ArtistaPena Absolutely as long as UnitedStates still a Democracy NOBODY should be above the law... much more so if there are any doubts this may be an Illegitimate Presidency

AuntLulie Don't argue over it when the time comes just do it.

Former AGs can be indicted, as well. Anybody want to sell some dirt on hobag?

kechjo Well then lets get the job done as American and Americans can't survive much mor of the teflon President. Not my President

But apparently not CEO's of financial institutions who are responsible for the financial crisis, eh Eric?

Is Holder still a free man? Why?

Get it done

So can Clinton Obama and you

Wow, coming from him, I believe it, it must be true, NOT! All these guys are trying to do is get a pay check! So they will say anything to get them on the opinion based news network of MSNBC!

Lordy, I hope so!

Holder is FOS.

pharmalady Love this too!!!!

All I hear is a high-pitched dog whine from a Has Been.

Lets waste more time on shit that’ll never happen

I hope Trukp is indicted

Might as well say a thing and then leave it to the opposition to disprove. Trump does it regularly.

(That's True)! Everyone should know the Law thoroughly, before speaking! People do not just parrot, what another says, without knowing facts for yourself! Stop listening what people throw at you! Read, Study, Learn for yourself! Reading is Fundamental! The more you know...!

DO IT!!!!

Policies aren’t rules or laws. Policies can be modified based on facts and circumstances so long as they actions taken fit within the law. Generally speaking, you should have well thought out reasons why you might violate policy.

Fixed it!

Even IF he was indicted, he is innocent, until proven guilty .. Therefore, I can't imagine that indicting him would lead to immediate removal .. The one true way to get rid of this idiot is to just vote him out .. All other ways will be almost impossible, and a waste of time

Yes, but good luck trying.. lol .. This is why they have impeachment, and the 25th amendment .. Imagine this ... A US Marshall, going to the WH, to put cuffs on the prez .. This would be broadcast worldwide .. And we as a nation would be in political crisis .. Just vote him out.

Oh boy! realDonaldTrump

No collusion you can’t face u lost in 2016 and again 2020 keep it up

Make it so...

The DOJ just chooses not to!!!

😊👏

If anyone should be indicted it should be you Eric Holder!

Who in hell cares what he says? He belongs in jail.

Should a retired AG be indicted on Fast and Furious? Abbbbbbsolutly...

Now, if the actual AG agreed with Holder.

Former is key word here. Fast a furious comes to mind when this former AG takes to giving his opinion

Talk about someone who needs to be indicted. That would be The corrupt crook Eric, himself!

How about a former AG

I guess abook is coming.

😂😂😂😂😂Coming from a man who unconstitutionally spied on citizens through the IRS. Spoken like a true politician, ignore what your party does but call out what the opposing party do. hypocrite

YNB

YNB

2 People on the panel interviewing Michael Cohen should be careful because they have a few questionable issues in their closet that may come out soon in June.

We the people want to know. Is it a law or a Memo. If it is not a law, do your jobs DOJ. lawandorder

EricHolder the guy that was held in contempt of Congress FastAndFurious gun running operation is now giving America a lecture on the Constitution....Please spare us this bullshittery coming from this known LIAR

It is nice to have it now from a horse's mouth so to speak: ' A sitting president can be indicted'. said the former Attorney General Eric Holder.

Prosecutors should argue change of venue from impeachment (congress) to DOJ/indictment, since so many Congressmen are complicit

Especially since he has contaminated the jury pool on the impeachment side. ( GOP Senators)

And will be in due time. TrumpCrimeFamily

I can see no reason why the president can't be indicted. There ISN'T a law against it. Period. Get a move on it . We have a TREASONOUS CRIMINAL sitting in OUR WH. INDICT HIM.

What are we waiting for?

So he didn't agree with Bill Clinton's AG? I'm sure he said the same thing back then

stevekerrigan I sure hope realDonaldTrump read Holder’s tweet. 💩in👖moment for him?

Especially A Fake One!😡

Why are so many confused about this fact?

You are going to indict POTUS all the way to a 2nd term.. Why not just go vote for the candidate of your choice if he is so bad?

Trying to be relevant? U should have been indicted! ericholder

stevekerrigan 🤗

Held in Contempt of Congress, Leader of Hundreds of Justice Department Attorneys who were found GUILTY of Violating Professional Rules, Laws, or Ethical Standards, Guilty of Obstruction of Justice in the Fast & Furious program HOLDER has ZERO credibility about any LEGAL matter!

stevekerrigan We owe this to future generations.

SNOWFLAKES:your desperation is palpable. Please, call a psychiatrist & request treatment/therapy for your Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump will be POTUS for 8 yrs. and your hair will be on fire. No indictment and no Impeachment. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

So can everyone else. Remember what you are pulling now will be down on the others as well!!!

Then hurry DF up already stop yakn more action

Brian Terry says hi from his grave!

GirlNYC trump attained the office of the president illegally,therefore he can be indicted

Not going to happen! !

I’m so sick of this “debate”. That DOJ memo was NEVER meant to be the end all be all. Even the man who helped write it (3 decades ago) said it was specifically intended for what they were doing at the time and it absolutely needs to be revisited. TRUMP IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

But Barr won't let it happen

Indictments and enforcement is the path attacking white-collar crime and restoring integrity to the rule of law. The Trump GOP is a crime cartel, RICO is the solution. Congressional investigations and impeachment are political road shows that will yield division not resolution.

Says the guy who had Obama cover his butt in the fast and furious gun running that was getting people killed.

KenWilcox17 so been looking for criminality for three years and have squat.could be one reason no one listens to you except for a laugh.

EricHolder can a president be indicted for crimes against America (irandeal irs abuse of power fbi targeting opponents campaign? ? How about just being a racist liar like BarackObama was ?

Former ? Lmao Holder 😆😅😅😄 He has more actual things to be indicted and actually charged with.

Without looking anything up, my logic tells me that the people who wrote our constitution, who left monarchies to come here, would not recreate a government with a head of state who would be immune from the law of the land.

Because EricHolder is such a bright mind and genetically superior.

Correction. This sitting President SHOULD be indicted.

Eric Holder? Hahahahaha

This from a guy who gave Mexican cartel American guns in which one of the guns killed a border agent.

Oh yeah, this analysis is unbiased and objective 🙄

Thank you! There is hope after all! The end is near!!(and this is not an ominous warning)

FBI and DOJ are corrupt and lost all credibility thanks to Comey, Lynch, Holder, Wray, Rosenstein, Mueller, Strzok, Page, Weissmann etc. Unbelievable lawbreaking coup participants treasonists! Arrest all in their cabal.

Eric should have been indicted over Fast and Furious

I agree with HOLDER. no1 is above the law. that is the principle. Now we have some who claim to be above the law like TRUMPlicons, but they are not. They havent been caught or they have a friend inside justice dept that turns a blind eye.

Back to wishful thinking now that your Russian collusion lie has fallen apart.

A pathetic and wrong opinion from one who was a convicted felon from the 70's and held in Contempt of Congress. Hardly a reliable source and shouldn't be given ANY consideration.

Let’s do it!

Please. Do it now!

EricHolder would you share this with all the other talking heads!!!

You’re FakeNews

The guy that was the architect of fast and furious is taking about impeachment proceedings. He should be in jail for that one. Anyone that says otherwise is a socialist.

Can whoever is supposed to be responsible for the indictment file the papers immediately and get this fraud and liar out of the White House

Oh well if Eric Holder says so it must be true after all he did a great job with 'Fast and Furious'.

The Truth Will Prevail. God Wins! Fake News Fails! Panic won't help. Nothing will help. Prepare for full disclosure. Nothing can stop what's coming! IT'S HAMMER TIME!!!

It’s time to find out!!

I wish someone would have told former SpeakerRyan . He had plenty of chances to indict Barack Obama and Holder.

Eric Holder

And a sitting AG can be found in contempt. Your point?

FEH

So can a former Attorney General

AG Eric Holder while working for the Obama Administration became involved in a debacle selling assault rifles and other guns to Mexicos Cartel, which led to the murder of many including an American Police Officer, although never charged for any crimes was replaced by Lynch

New Rule: You must stop allowing outright liars on your shows, like JustinSayfie. If they are going to just spew more lies and trump propaganda, they have foxnews for that. If the GOP want to appear on your shows, force them to be truthful, or stop them and call BULLSHIT.

Holder should have been indicted years ago.

However Trump leaves office—whether through impeachment, indictment, death by natural causes, or failure to get re-elected—we MUST permanently destroy this DOJ policy of refusing to indict a sitting president for any serious crimes. This should become settled law for the future.

One thing we know for sure is that a sitting AG can be held in contempt of Congress.

A former Ag can be indicted

What the hell are we waiting for then Time to bust his ass!

Ok then JUST DO IT

no he can't. move along little man.

There is a god !!!

And someone that was held in contempt of Congress should be in jail ,covering something up by obstructing Justice is not justice at all

What “fraud” was used What are you smoking?

Can a former AG be indicted 🤔

Coming from a guy who was held in contempt!!

Fast n Furious Eric Holder is responsible for untold numbers of dead innocents...

Full of beans, Holder. Dems want civil war.

Ok, this is the same guy who said people should kick Republicans (Americans)....nice

He don't know. Holder was the first Affirmative Action AG.

Holder lacks credibility.

No American citizen should be above the law. Especially not the president.

Holder is incompetent

🤣

when the legal case is made the time for politics has come: He should be indicted, asap, if you ask me

Thanks for your opinion, maybe you should thank your stars your not in jail.

Wow!! Such amazing news. 🙄

Just so you know: the perspectives of various other former Attorneys General that had been solicited on this important and difficult question of constitutional law didn’t show up in the tweet.

I'm going to go to AG Holder's Twitter page and ask him what's the next step. We gotta get that maniac out of office A.S.A.P.

Eric Holder should have been indicted then for being a gun runner, along with Obama

He is still a liar. That why this criminal is former. EricHolder

Holder should have been indicted for Gun running, not answering questions to Congress. One should ask How he was able to escape

Eric Holder can be indicted too. Obama can no longer protect him, the king no longer rules.

Furthermore... the actions & appointments of a President who obtained the office by fraudulent means should be annulled / rescinded in as thorough & as timely a manner as the Congress can arrange. USPolitics uspoli

Then what are you waiting for? Surely the respect for the constitution and the need to protect the country against corruption and potential financial fraud warrants and merits an open investigation? The country needs protecting!

Of course they can!

Fast & furious Eric.

So can a former AG. fastandfurious lyingtocongress

No,,impeached yes,, but you need a crime committed and there is none. Holder bought illegally a large amount of land in Nevada. Why Old gold mines with new tech will make him rich. Trump knows it.

Of course he can be, why the heck not? You mean if he murders someone he can’t be charged for murder till he leaves his office? That’s crazy. NO ONE IS ABOVE LAW OF THE LAND !!!!

Who cares what he thinks?

LAME FORMER AG.........

allthruthetown After his unhinged performance at CPAC, he needs to be institutionalized.

Get on it then. Law and order. It is a Constitutional imparitive.

And the next question is . . . what are you waiting for? As the ad says - 'Just Do It'

Yes. For corruption and criminal offense

Does he have any legal opinions on how someone should be treated for contempt of Congress?

So what is the hold up?
