Kind of like Fast and Furious, huh?

EricHolder was part of an admin who denied requested additional American security by an ambassador because of the optics. And was part of an admin that refused to help Americans during a 13 hr firefight. Both were a Breach of Duty by the CIC and impeachable.

Well, so far he hasn't given weapons the drug cartels which were then used to kill an American. That, is an impeachable offense. EricHolder

William Barr is for the American People.. Democrats are running scared

Holder? Fast and Furious Holder? Contempt Holder? Obama's lackey Holder? That one? Really ? Can't do better than that POS?

Eric Holder is a corrupt political tool who had to leave the Obama administration due to his malfeasance.

Go take your daughter on a private plane paid for by tax payers or better yet arm narco terrorists in an ill conceived operation to track them. You are unfit Eric holder.

Eric Holder was terrible. Why is he even commenting? Bill Barr is a patriot 🇺🇸

his roy cohn- his grandchildren will want to change their name due to shame from java the hut billy bar

Even us plebs know this. ImpeachBarrNow

Eric Holder had to go kiss Obama’s butt, for executive privilege, because he didn’t want to answer questions on gun running operations on US/ Mexican border . Notice Republicans didn’t impeach for obstruction. Also note both Mexicans and American died because of them guns.

Stedman obstructed Congress. He should have been impeached.

Why is the DOJ allowing him to serve?

If you were a news organization, you'd write an authentic article about Holder, Obama, and gunwalking but ~ you're not.

Eric Holder is one to listen to. A swamp creature

Now we’re going to listen to Eric Holder, who was held in contempt of Congress under Obama? Right

Anytime a bi-partisan person, enters the arena, there attacked by the crazy far left, like spoiled kids. Americans deserve a honest approach like Barr , not anti Trump haters. Iike or hate Trump, no need to be partisan against this President. 30 mill spent in 3 years of Mueller

Listen to who is giving lectures! Eric Holder was found in Contempt of Congress! He has lied and covered for President Obama..perhaps he's worried the truth will come out about the Obama Admin.

Of course he will! Barr himself should be impeached and removed! He is not for the people, he's trumps right hand man among others including the whole Republican Party!

RESIGN IMMEDIATELY AG Barr. You are unfit. TheJusticeDept BriberyAndExtortion

This should’ve been realized a long time ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if trump holds coke/hooker parties after hours and all these ‘pubs attend thinking they’re masters of the universe.

Remove the alt-right propaganda piece by MrAndyNgo NOW. This is not journalism. Or just publish 'Mein Kampf' as a weekly series if you are going down this road.

Barr is coming !!

RodBamberry So many unfit, unqualified and corrupt people in criminal organization.

Bullshit.

clayer07885 Where will the EricHolder 'Fast & Furious' blunder will be ranked among AG follies throughout history considering his work lead to the arming of drug cartels & the deaths many people including American Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. I am sure the Terry family wonders, Eric.

donnabrazile Holder the first AG to be in contempt is saying this? The guy who is responsible for the death of an American on the border? Wingman?

Eric Holder gobbled Obama jock like It was fried chicken.

Holder is a partisan political tool who misled the country and used his office to prosecute political enemies

Who says that ? Our 'steemed' Fast and Furious Holder? The same Holder who aided and covered for Obama in some of the most illegal and treasonous actions this country has every seen? That one? Really?

He’s unfit to be a dog walker.

He is truly unfit and cannot do his job without bias.

And just Unfit in Most ways!

Unfit misfit

donnabrazile I remember when Newsweek was a great magizine. Today it is just Propaganda for the Dems!

donnabrazile Wassa matta he don’t fit your narrative! Awww....

donnabrazile Yawn!

If no crimes have been committed why is everyone fearing Barr?

Go ahead Barr and the rest of the circus, back up a potus that literally just had to pay 2 mil back to make up for the money he FUNNELED AND STOLE FROM HIS OWN CHARITY FOUNDATION, fuxking fools. I mean get real. 🙄

Tells the truth unlike Brennan , Clapper and their CNN MSNBC clown shows

Bill Barr is a patriot 🇺🇸

Exactly.

Barr should be IMPEACHED and indicted

Trump likes the unfit and misfit so he can manipulate.

He is exploiting the loopholes in the system

Barr should be in jail.

Attorney General William Barr Believes the FBI Has Been Unfair to His Friend Donald TrumpJust twice have I looked at anything involving the FBI and thought, “Well, that’s pretty good.” The first time, I was in the 5th grade, and I was looking at the X Files. The second was the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. It’s immature and rude, I know, but just put glasses on the baby from Dinosaurs. The resemblance is uncanny for a man and muppet.
