1. Lawrence O'Donnell was very good when he interviewed Holder.

It boils my blood to hear someone like Holder talk about the difficulty of "indicting a former president, there is no precedence"...Well? How does "precedence" start? By doing it the first time.

Lawrence told him that he rarely uses the mythical phrase "No one is above the law, and the rule of law", that he doesn't believe it to be true. Holder, when trying to explain why it "was so difficult to indict a former president" because it created division, Lawrence asked him "why is it that ONLY Democrats talk about division? When republicans want to do something they don't care about "creates division", they don't talk about division...Holder could not answer it, went on the tangent to talk about his book...They all talk about their books.

Why are Democrats SO afraid to do the right thing? If people get pissed, that is too bad, JUST F^&ING DO THE RIGHT THING! STOP BEING AFRAID, DAMN IT!

2. Yeah...

Holder needs to go back and write the book, "How I Set the Stage for Future War Crimes by Looking Past George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's Actions".

After that, maybe he can write something worthwhile on saving democracy. Other than that, what is there to say? By failing to do his job, Holder tacitly agreed to waterboarding, stress positions, etc. (i.e., torture) by the US. No one really needs to hear or read anything further from him.

• Bush & Cheney still need prosecution for war crimes.
  
  
• Trump still needs prosecution on account of the attempted insurrection for which he groomed his MAGA crowds for months in advance at his rallies.

This seems to be a GOP trend.

Meanwhile, we get the infinite, politically motivated Benghazi witch trials put on by Nunez, Gowdy and the other Gohmert-class moron hacks of GOP. All for a situation which, though serious, was not remotely as serious as Trump et al. preplanning and eventually attempting to carry out an insurrection when they failed to win at the ballot box.
