Appearing on Face The Nation on Sunday, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder stated his belief the progressive movement and Biden administration has adequately prepared the nation to “absorb” the political violence that may surface as the result of an arrest of former President Donald Trump.
MARGARET BRENNAN: When you were last on this program in May you shared at the time that you had changed your mind recently that you did believe that the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland should hold former President Trump accountable for his actions. You previously thought it would be too divisive for the country. Now, where we are with this special counsel, what is your assessment? And how should Merrick Garland, who has to ultimately decide, weigh the question of a risk to political violence in this country from any decision he makes regarding the former president?
HOLDER: Well, I think the Attorney General has said it quite well, that he’ll make the determination without fear or favor. There is- Everybody has to be held accountable for the same system. The determination that he’s going to have to make will have to be based on the facts and the law. And we’ll just have to deal with the consequences. The reality is that if he makes a determination one way or the other, it is going to be divisive. And so the best thing simply is to make sure that everybody who is under consideration for possible criminal treatment, including the former president, is treated just like every other American. And that’s what that opinion out of the Circuit Court this week essentially said that you can’t craft things. As a district court judge you can’t craft things for a former president that don’t exist for regular American citizens. Treat everybody in the same way, make the determination based on the facts and the law. And the United States, I think, has the capacity to absorb a possible indictment and to deal with it fairly and to get on with the business of the country.
In the Mar-a-Lago case the 11th circuit court stated if the search warrant was legally predicated, and if the search warrant was legally executed, then all of the proceeds from the search warrant were legally valid as investigative outcomes – and no special master is needed.
Holder states that everyone should be treated the same way. Few would disagree with that. That is what is so insidious about this whole charade. It is made to sound like that secret search warrants are okay.
Why can’t Trump’s lawyers see the predicate for the search warrant? Search warrants are often challenged for their legality. Why can’t Trump’s lawyers see the predicate so that they can make a decision to do that or not? Just what are they hiding?
The fact that Holder is rejoicing at the ability to execute secret search warrants should be a warning in and of itself. Just how much of the court system has been corrupted? We have seen over the last 5 or 6 years that the FISA court, a secret court, is little more than a rubber stamp for the execution of secret search warrants that no one has the ability to challenge. This needs to end.
Holder went on Face The Nation to “prepare” the public for a Trump indictment. There are members of the J6 Unselect Committee who are indicating that Trump and four or five others will be referred to the DOJ for prosecution.
Of course, the J6 Committee was nothing but a star chamber proceeding. This included perjured testimony for which no actions have been taken to date. One of the purposes of the committee was to try to smear PDJT and anyone who supported him as a danger to the country. The hope was to silence those who would speak the truth to power.
One of the reasons that J6 protestors are still behind bars is to put fear into the hearts and minds of anyone who would speak up against the government. Who would have believed that people would be locked up indefinitely for entering the Capitol Building? This is the Tiananmen Square strategy without the tanks…yet. When we will see the military turned against the citizens of this country?
What is this “capacity to absorb” that Holder is referring to? What positioning of capacity to control the public is being rolled into place to allow for the absolute control of the public if an arrest of PDJT on fabricated charges is attempted?
Will an arrest of Hunter Biden take place at the same time to make it seem like that justice is blind? The Hunter Biden story has been out there for a very long time. No actions were taken until the NYPost published the story in 2020. No criminal referrals have been done to date.
Holder’s actions are just one more step in the process of trying the neuter PDJT and those Americans (and there are a lot of them) who believe in life, liberty and freedom. This is a prelude to more harsh actions on the part of the communists who currently think they can do anything and get away with it.
