Holder: DOJ, FBI should reject Trump's requests
2018-05-22
[The Hill] Former Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday urged Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials to "simply say no" to President Trump's demand for an expanded investigation into his claims of FBI wrongdoing as it relates to his campaign.

"More DOJ norms being eroded. Trump-a SUBJECT of the investigation-wants access to material related to the inquiry," Holder tweeted.

#9  Um, I'm not a lawyer or anything, but don't the DOJ and the FBI work for the President. In my opinion, Trump should summon Sessions, Wray and the rest to the oval office,ORDER them to turn over the material, and summarily fire anyone who refuses. Lather, rinse, repeat, until he gets down to a level where someone will cooperate.

#5  #2 & #3 hear, hear. Today's USA is not Czarist Russia, or Wiemar Germany - the real danger is not popular revolt but (as we seen in EUrope) the Mandarinate quietly taking over.

#3  They know they're guilty as hell. You only get flak when you're over the target.
