Tuesday on MSNBC’s All In, former Atty. Gen. Eric Holder stated that Atty. Gen. William Barr “is doing all that he can to weaken the very institutions that he leads.”
Asked where things stand on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being “an absolute rule of law emergency,” Holder replied, “I think we’re at a pretty consistent 9. What we have is a president who is bound and determined to delegitimize those parts of the government that he thinks pose the greatest threat to him. That is the Justice Department, the FBI, the intelligence community, as well. It’s all part of a plan to somehow make those institutions weaker so that he can do the kinds of illicit things that he’s been doing.”
Holder added, “And he’s facilitated by this attorney general. This attorney general is actually complicit in this by weakening these institutions. This is an attorney general who’s supposed to stand up for the people who work for him. And in fact, he is doing all that he can to weaken the very institutions that he leads.”
All false. Holder is projecting. He and Barack Obama did everything they could to weaken the rule of law.
