Eric Holder
The Public Record
Eric Holder is a prominent Democratic attorney and former U.S. Attorney General, serving under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2015. Born on January 21, 1951, in the District of Columbia, Holder was the first African American to hold the position of Attorney General. He is known for his work on civil rights issues, criminal justice reform, and voting rights. During his tenure, he emphasized the importance of addressing systemic inequalities and was involved in high-profile cases, including those related to gun control and immigration reform.
I think it`s all part of a piece in the sense that our democracy is under attack we have to understand how fragile our democracy is.
I think we`re going to see indictments here. Now, I don`t know if they`re going to involve ultimately, the president. But I think those near to him have criminal liability.
They`ve maintained their gerrymandered power and frustrated the desire of people in the state.
That was largely because of an increase in the population 90% of which was Hispanic people.
We have to fight Republicans who like Republicans in Ohio, who are basically not paying attention to the Supreme Court there.
Every Republican needs to be asked, Do you think that Joe Biden is the legitimately elected President of the United States or do you think that the election was stolen from Donald Trump?
The person who appears to want to substitute his candidate Donald Trump for the legitimately elected person, Joe Biden, should not be the next Governor of Pennsylvania.
We cannot allow what happened on January 6 to go unpunished, because then it would invite something like that to happen again in the future.
I think people at the Justice Department are certainly going to be examined. Certainly people who were involved in the matter actually there on January 6 and people who directed them.
If it finds sufficient information and proof of intent that would have to indict Donald Trump and hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn the election.
If you care about climate, if you care about a woman`s right to choose, if you care about protecting the right to vote, all these things are directly connected to making sure that our system of democracy works.
And unless we have the kind of courage that Alice Paul, Thomas Dorr exhibited in the past, in addition to the other people we mentioned in the book, we could lose our democracy.
Given what we have learned, I think that he probably has to be held accountable.
I think all of these things are pushing me towards the very distinct possibility of an indictment of a former president, people around him, cabinet members, people who served at the Justice Department have to be seriously considered.
The reality is that they came pretty close in 2020. And, as you say, with the replacement of these regular Republicans, like the guy Vandevelde (ph) in Michigan, potentially what they`re trying to do with Georgia state officials as well…
The plan is, we talk about a number of structural reforms, limiting the number of years that somebody can serve on the Supreme Court to 18, the way in which Supreme Court justices are picked.
