Former Attorney General Eric Holder decided it was a great idea to publicly criticize President Trump over corruption — and proceeded to get smacked around on Twitter because he forgot that he’s, you know, Eric Holder.
In reacting to Trump warning that he would fire special counsel Robert Mueller if he investigated his family’s finances, Holder tweeted out a mini-rant.
“There is NO basis to question the integrity of Mueller or those serving with him in the special counsel’s office. And no conflicts either,” he wrote, adding, “Trump cannot define or constrain Mueller investigation. If he tries to do so this creates issues of constitutional and criminal dimension.”
