President Donald Trump is finally delivering on his promise to dismantle the Obama-era Deep State — and the usual suspects are panicking. From Hillary Clinton to John Brennan, and from Adam Schiff to Letitia James, the political operatives who fueled the Russia Hoax and years of lawfare against conservatives are suddenly facing the possibility of real accountability.
One of the most visibly rattled is former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, who went on NBC to rail against Trump’s Justice Department after learning that investigations into his old colleagues — and possibly himself — are ramping up.
The fireworks began when *Meet the Press* host Kristen Welker asked Holder about the growing list of Obama-Biden allies under investigation, including Barack Obama himself, New York AG Letitia James, and Schiff. She reminded Holder that Trump argues Biden’s DOJ “started this” by weaponizing the justice system against political opponents.
Holder’s response? Denial, deflection, and a healthy dose of hypocrisy. “That’s just totally inconsistent with the facts,” he claimed, insisting there was “a predicate” for every move the Obama DOJ made — a remarkable statement given that the Russia probe was built on the now-discredited Steele dossier, a piece of political opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Then came the most telling moment. Holder complained that Trump’s DOJ is working “hand in glove” with the White House — an accusation that reeks of projection given how tightly the Obama DOJ coordinated with the West Wing to target conservatives. “They’re joined at the hip in ways we’ve not seen before,” Holder claimed, as if Americans have forgotten the infamous Obama-Biden meeting that set the tone for the Trump-Russia witch hunt.
Holder also dismissed the very idea of investigating Letitia James or Adam Schiff, despite serious allegations of misconduct, including questionable financial dealings and apparent abuse of office. “What’s the basis for the investigation?” Holder scoffed — as though “mortgage fraud” and “knowingly lying to the public” aren’t legitimate starting points.
Perhaps most revealing was Holder’s fierce defense of Barack Obama himself, declaring it “absurd” to even look into the former president’s actions during the height of the Deep State’s anti-Trump campaign. Never mind the mounting evidence that the Obama administration green-lit unprecedented surveillance of political opponents and lied to the American people about it.
Holder’s meltdown signals what many conservatives have long suspected: the Deep State’s biggest players never thought they’d face justice. For years, they operated with impunity, confident that their friends in the media and the bureaucracy would shield them. Now, with Trump back in charge and a Justice Department willing to pull the curtain back, their arrogance is giving way to panic.
As Comer, Jordan, and other GOP investigators push forward, the question is no longer whether the truth will come out — but how far the rot went, and how many in Obama’s inner circle will finally have to answer for it.
If the Trump DOJ follows through, the era of “different rules for Democrats” could be coming to an end — and Eric Holder’s nervous TV appearances might just be the opening act.
