REPORT: Democrats Have Put Corrupt Obama AG Eric Holder in Charge of Vetting VP Candidates for Kamala Harris
As the entire country works to wrap its head around the concept of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential candidate, the hand of Barack Obama is showing up behind the scenes. Obama's "wingman," former Attorney General, and friend Eric Holder and his law firm Covington Burling, LLP has been contracted to vet potential Vice Presidential candidates for Kamala Harris.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Former attorney general Eric Holder is in charge of vetting of running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris, Reuters reported.
The news that Holder and his law firm would be overseeing the operation was confirmed to POLITICO by a person with knowledge of the process.
Mr. "Fast and Furious" and the contempt-of-Congress former AG is a sketchy person, his cartel ties notwithstanding. As he was about to make his exit in 2015 back to private sector legal activism at the connected-D.C. law firm, this was the legacy that he left behind at the DOJ.
As a longtime, current employee of the Justice Department told us, Mr. Holder and his subordinates have “racialized and radicalized” the department “to the point of corruption.” They have “embedded politically leftist extremists in the career ranks who have an agenda that does not comport with equal protection or the rule of law; who believe that the ends justify the means; and who behave unprofessionally and unethically. Their policy is to intimidate and threaten employees who do not agree with their politics, and even moderate Democrats have left the department, because they were treated as enemies by administration officials and their lackeys. Another black employee who has worked for the Justice Department for decades said to me, ‘There is no justice left in Justice under this administration.’”
Those corrupt, racialized, and radicalized embeds never went away, of course. They rested comfortably under new Obama AG Loretta Lynch, then no doubt wreaked havoc during the Trump administration—which is why Jeff Sessions and William Barr could not do much of anything that was actually productive. Then, Merrick Garland simply picked up where Holder left off. Holder was successful in seeding the ground, and we have been reaping the harvest since 2016. That's the Deep State in a nutshell.
His involvement in the vetting process may reassure Democrats that a longtime political and legal hand is helping to ensure Harris' pick, should she win the nomination, is free of major conflicts. Any choice needs also to be suited to help her beat Republican Donald Trump and potentially to assume the presidency some day if she were to triumph in November but then at some point be unable to complete her duties.
Potential names that have been floated as possible running mates for Harris include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.
It appears that Holder will also ensure that Harris' VP will back her plays and be a competent attack dog, while not outshining her.
Think 2016 with Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.
This means California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro will probably not make the shortlist. Holder's VP pick will no doubt help cement the work of fundamental transformation of America.
