As a former U.S. attorney general, I am reluctant to publicly criticize my successors. I respect the office and understand just how tough the job can be.
But recently, Attorney General William P. Barr has made a series of public statements and taken actions that are so plainly ideological, so nakedly partisan and so deeply inappropriate for America’s chief law enforcement official that they demand a response from someone who held the same office.
Last month, at a Federalist Society event, the attorney general delivered an ode to essentially unbridled executive power, dismissing the authority of the legislative and judicial branches — and the checks

This is like having Benedict Arnold write an article for the WaPo asserting that George Washington is a traitor and is unfit to be President. Eric (The Red) Holder was the most crooked Attorney General in our nation's history.

Because Holder wants to turn a blind eye to corruption and truth, that doesn't make them go away.

As a judge for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Holder often had to be reminded....by his CLERK.... about having to change his decisions because they were illegal. This poor excuse for a man should have never been allowed anywhere near a position of authority.

This from a corrupt AG who was involved in selling guns to the Mexican Cartell so they can use them on US citizens.
You know who is effective by whom is being attacked by the left. Holder knows that the BO Admin is about to be outed for criminal behavior.

Because during his tenure General Holder was manifestly and plainly ideological, nakedly partisan and deeply inappropriate in his conduct, I’ve crossed a Rubicon of sorts in that while I wish in principle to understand different points of view; in this case I started this column but could not get past the lede.
An article of faith on the Left is no objective truth exists; the narrative is everything. A corollary is there’s no God— of course— and morality is a mere construct of bigotry.
General Holder believes these foundational principles and I don’t consider them, as a baseline of thought, intellectually respectable.
So I’ve determined the rest of General Holder’s article not worth finishing.
Guilt follows. But the General’s political philosophy, and it’s narrow teleological motivation, provides in its crude self-evidence some measure of relief.
To repurpose the time I would’ve wasted reading it to instead writing this, which has somewhat ameliorated my discomfort at rejecting an argument out-of-hand, has been wholly therapeutic, and reiterated for me that after 40-50 years of testing and failure the Progressive project is really and truly dead.

This is probably the best recommendation we will find anywhere: Eric Holder doesn't like William Barr! Good enough for me. As Hugh Hewitt says, "Bill Barr is a honey badger...a relentless pursuer."
Works for me.

Holder was Obama's stooge. Still is. Trying to coverup the Obama gang's crimes, Eric? Isn't that illegal, Eric?
The Washington Poo is just a platform for corruption.
Keep going Mr. Barr. These jerks should not be allowed to get away with their crimes.

Holder as touted himself as being Obama’s “wingman” and certainly seems to appear worried that the current criminal investigation being conducted by USA Durham at the direction of AG Barr is stretching from the DOJ/FBI to the Obama Oval Office. That’s obviously the reason that Holder sent his public threat to Durham that some people would consider to be an attempt at obstruction of justice. Holder’s opinion that Barr is unfit to be the Attorney General does not hold much water, when you look at his malfeasance actions when Holder was Obama’s Attorney General and “wingman”.

Holder is an ideological, anti-White racist. If I had the time and inclination, I could tell you in detail about a Fair Housing Act case I had in which Holder and Deval Patrick overturned the administrative judge's decision in favor of a White landlord, with no basis for doing so. It was outrageous. When their opinion was published in the housing law reporter, I got a call in my office from a lawyer in another state whom I didn't know, but who was so dumbfounded by what they had written that he had to comment. He said, "Is it just me, or this the biggest bunch of horseshit I've ever seen?" He was right. I eventually got Holder and Patrick overturned by the Tenth Circuit, but that case gave me an education about how his mind works.
