Eric Holder: Trump Must be Impeached if Moscow Tower Story …

Former attorney general Eric Holder says President Donald Trump must be impeached if its true that he ordered Michael Cohen to lie about his interest in a building a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Buzzfeed News has a new report out saying Robert Mueller has learned that it was under Trumps orders that his former personal attorney lied to Congress about the timeline of the Moscow project. Even though construction plans were eventually abandoned, the tower and Cohens perjury on its negotiations been major subjects of intrigue because of the questions they raise about Trumps dealings with Russia during the 2016 election.

Holder has noticed the report and he says the connotations are monumental:

The report says Cohen had a plan to meet with Vladimir Putin to negotiate the towers commencement, with sources saying Trump told him to make it happen. Trump and his children Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. received regular updates from Cohen while he took the lead on the project.

Cohen has already told the special counsel about Trump ordering him to lie to Congress, and the information he provided reportedly corroborates a bundle of evidence Mueller has on the matter. This includes interviews with multiple Trump Organization witnesses, internal company emails, text messages, and other documents.

Eric Holder & Clinton Pardon Terrorists

Very revealing video. Now Eric Holder may well be positioning himself to release more terrorists, or at very least to use the civilian court system to attack the very tactics employed for keeping America free from attacks. Are we going to be right back in the cross hairs.

Eric Holder assisted Janet Reno during Waco, Ruby Ridge and Eliyan Gonzales, I venture to say that his focus is on a perspective that few

Americans share. Very few. Let your voice be heard, ask the White house, Senate and Congress call the Capitol switchboard now - (202) 224-3121 to quash the civillian hearing of our terrorists. We don't want to risk their release back into the general public.

FALN is the acronym for Fuerzas Armadas de Liberacin Nacional English: Armed Forces of National Liberation

Referring to:Fuerzas Armadas de Liberacin Nacional (Puerto Rico)Fuerzas Armadas de Liberacin Nacional (Venezuela)

The Los Angeles Times, mirabile dictu, breaks from the Obamedia pack and does some digging into Attorney General nominee Eric Holders past history as a political fixer for the Puerto Rican FALN terrorists -Michelle Malkin

Below the NY Times findings:Attorney general nominee Eric H. Holder Jr. repeatedly pushed some of his subordinates at the Clinton Justice Department to drop their opposition to a controversial 1999 grant of clemency to 16 members of two violent Puerto Rican nationalist organizations, according to interviews and documents President Clintons decision to commute prison terms caused an uproar at the time. Holder was called before Congress to explain his role but declined to answer numerous questions from angry lawmakers demanding to know why the Justice Department had not sided with the FBI, federal prosecutors and other law enforcement officials, who were vehemently opposed to the grants. Some religious groups and influential individuals, including President Carter, had endorsed the commutations. But Clintons decision outraged law enforcement officials, who had tried to contain a bombing campaign in New York, Chicago and elsewhere in the 1970s and 1980s by groups seeking independence for Puerto Rico from the United States.

New interviews and an examination of previously undisclosed documents indicate that Holder played an active role in changing the position of the Justice Department on the commutations. Holder instructed his staff at Justices Office of the Pardon Attorney to effectively replace the departments original report recommending against any commutations, which had been sent to the White House in 1996, with one that favored clemency for at least half the prisoners, according to these interviews and documents. And after Pardon Attorney Roger Adams resisted, Holders chief of staff instructed him to draft a neutral options memo instead, Adams said. The options memo allowed Clinton to grant the commutations without appearing to go against the Justice Departments wishes, Adams and his predecessor, Margaret Colgate Love, said in their first public comments on the case.

I remember this well, because it was such a big deal to consider clemency for a group of people convicted of such heinous crimes, said Adams, the agencys top pardon lawyer from 1997 until 2008. He said he told Holder of his strong opposition to any clemency in several internal memos and a draft report recommending denial and in at least one face-to-face meeting. But each time Holder wasnt satisfied, Adams said.

Eric Holder: When Republicans Go Low, We Kick Them …

Adding his voice to a group of prominent Democrats calling for an increasingly aggressive approach to Republicans, the former attorney general in the Obama Administration, Eric Holder, said when conservatives go low the leftshould kick them.

Democrats, Holder said, must get more tough if theyre going to prevail. This new attitude would represent the new Democratic Party.

His calls for a more violent approach to politics received hearty applause from his audience.

They have used the power that they have gotten for all the wrong things, Holder said during an appearance over the weekend in Georgia.They want to keep themselves in power. They want to cater to the special interests. It is time for us as Democrats to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are.

Michelle always says Michelle Obama, I love her, you know, she and my wife like really tight, which always scares me and Barack, but Michelle always says, you know, when they go low, we go high, Holder went on.No. No. When they go low, we kick them.

His call for kicking Republicans drew a quick applause from the crowd.

Thats what thats what this new Democratic Party is about, he said.Were proud as hell to be Democrats. Were going to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party. We are proud of our history, we are proud of our present, and we are proud of the future that we can create for this country. And we are not in this just to make a statement, were in this to win.

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said Democrats should abandon civility in their dealings with Republicans.

You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about, Clinton said Tuesday.

Clinton urged Democrats to only become civil once they win back the House and Senate: That's why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that's when civility can start again.

But until then, she continued,the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

In July, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) urged activists to get up in the face of congresspeople. Following Sarah Huckabee Sanders being removed from the Red Hen restaurant, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) called on her supporters to increasingly confront members of the Trump Administration.

Eric Holder: ‘When they go low, we kick them’ (Update: Sen …

I guess a memo went out. How else to explain that leading figures in the Democratic Party are embracingincivility this week? A clip of Eric Holder is circulating today in which he endorses Democrats taking the low road.

It is time for us as Democrats to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are, Holder said. Michelle [Obama] says when they go low, we go high. No. When they go low we kick them, he said.

The crowd responded with laughter and applause. Thats what this new Democratic Party is about, Holder added.

He may be right about that.

Holder also added that Democrats had to win to prevent people less imbued with good values from running the country.Were in this to win. And the reality is if we dont win, people who are less committed, less idealistic, less imbued with the values that make this nation really great will run this country, he said.

So to sum this message up: Democrats good, GOP bad. Win by any means necessary. Thats remarkably similar to whatHillary Clinton said, in an interview with CNN which aired yesterday. Youcannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, she said. She added that civility could only return if Democrats win the election next month.

I find it hard to believe this remarkably consistent messaging is a coincidence. It seems like the sort of thing some Democrats discussed privately as a midterm messaging strategy. But whatever the case, the bottom line is that high profile members of the party are now openly ditching Michelle Obamas best-known line suggesting Democrats take the high road and embracing the low road.As I pointed out yesterday, Democrats are delusional if they think they ever abandoned the low road. They did not.

But getting back to this current moment in politics, I doubt it has escaped the notice of either Hillary Clinton or Eric Holder that grassroots Democrats are now embracing a new confrontational approach to their opponents. As Rep. Maxine Waters said, if you see Trump officials in a restaurant or a gas station, you tell them theyre not welcome anymore, anywhere. This is a blunt, anti-civility message and some on the left have denounced it. But it appears party leaders are now giving their activists approval to go all in with only a month left before the election.

Of course, Ithink we all know what will happen the moment someone does this to Hillary or Eric Holder. Suddenly theyll be shocked and appalledand claim they never had this in mind. They were only speaking metaphorically, etc., etc.Dont believe it for a minute.They see what is happening out there. They know what kind of behavior they are encouraging.Heres the clip of Holder already queued up:

Update: Sen. Cory Gardner weighs in offering another example of left-wing incivility.

Update: I missed this when I scanned through the clip the first time. Six minutes after his kick remark (about 16:50 in the clip above) Holder said, When I say we kick them, I dont mean we do anything inappropriate, we dont do anything illegal, but weve got to be tough

People on the left are pointing to this as evidence that Holder wasnt endorsing violence or illegal behavior. Fair enough but if you read the post above you may have noticed I never said or even suggested he was recommending violence. I said his remarks were very similar to what Hillary said yesterday about civility and to what Maxine Waters has previously advocated.

Bottom line: By definition, taking the low road is going to involve things that someone else thinks are inappropriate, Michelle Obama for one. You cant counsel people to abandon the high road and then claim you dont want them to do anything anyone would object to. Thats just not the nature of the low road and I think Holder knows that.
