Holder Tells DOJ To Rebel Against Constitution, Ignore President of the United States
By Cillian Zeal

In a series of tweets earlier this week, former Attorney General Eric Holder said the Department of Justice should stonewall any attempt to launch an investigation into possible surveillance of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, saying that it should defy any orders from the president in order to “protect the institutions and time tested norms.”

The president has called for an inquiry into FBI surveillance after two separate reports seemed to indicate the FBI had planted moles within the Trump campaign.

“I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” the president tweeted Sunday.

A Wall Street Journal report by Kimberley Strassel first noted that the language the FBI had used to justify its refusal to turn over information about a “top secret intelligence source” on their Russia investigation may have pointed to human surveillance within the campaign.

“When government agencies refer to sources, they mean people who appear to be average citizens but use their profession or contacts to spy for the agency. Ergo, we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign,” Strassel wrote. “This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting.”

Axios later reported that Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro brought Stefan Halper, suspected of being an FBI informant, onto the Trump campaign.

These alone should be dangerous signs that the Department of Justice was greatly overstepping its bounds and politicizing intelligence collecting during the 2016 campaign.
However, to Holder, the DOJ needs to stand up and say no to Trump — even if that constitutes a breach of the Constitution.

“Trump demand for DOJ investigation is dangerous/democracy threatening. DOJ response is disappointing,” Holder tweeted. “There is no basis/no predicate for an inquiry. It’s time to stand for time honored DOJ independence. That separation from White House is a critical part of our system.”

“More DOJ norms being eroded,” he continued. “Trump-a SUBJECT of the investigation-wants access to material related to the inquiry. His Congressional supporters want evidence connected to an ongoing investigation. Time for DOJ/FBI to simply say no-protect the institutions and time tested norms.”
