Eric Holder, who served as attorney general under former President Barack Obama, posted an eyebrow-raising tweet early on Friday morning in which he told career officials at the FBI and Department of Justice to “be prepared” and “be strong.”

Maybe I am paranoid but I am worried what may happen during the Holiday Weekend.


Seriously Between what Rachel Reported last night and Trumps Meltdown crazy about Morning Joe not to mention what Joe & Mika said I am really Nervous

[shraby]

1. That's an unusual move for Holder isn't it? Sumpin is up.

It's not only unusual for Holder, it's an unusual time for a tweet. It appears as if he was thinking on it half the night before he decided to say something.

[Catmusicfan]

3. I don't want to sound like a Tinfoil nut But you start adding thing up and then This.

[BainsBane]

21. The thing about the Trump administration

is that their behavior surpasses even the imagination of conspiracy theorists.

[Catmusicfan]

23. True.

[mitch96]

26. tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick

[WhiteTara]

28. or he got that "middle of the night" phonecalls? nt

[Cirque du So-What]

2. Perhaps

it was a message to tRump's minions that the FBI et al are already aware of some effort in the works to discredit them.

[Catmusicfan]

4. Why send it to DOJ members.

[pnwmom]

19. Because he knows that when things start crashing down on DT, he's going

to be "counter-punching." He'll be trying to discredit the agencies that are after him.

[Catmusicfan]

22. Congress is already doing that. Check out Rachel Maddow's show last night toward end.

[pnwmom]

25. It will get worse the more evidence that comes out against DT. The final battles

will be major but we shouldn't be afraid of them.

[Amaryllis]

32. It will be like the last Harry Potter book; the final showdown with Voldemort.

[pnwmom]

33. And we all have to try to be Harry and Hermione. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

6. Perhaps he's just baiting the orange anus

"Bring it on!"

[Cirque du So-What]

8. Could be

Regardless, I believe that tweet was intended for a wider audience than just FBI agents.

5. wow. that is scary. I'm a whimp wouldn't be near anything big. Reminds me of a July 4th my

husband and I were in DC - pre-9-11. Knew there'd be a million people on the mall for the fireworks so we went and bought a cheap blanket and laid it out right underneath Washington monument - thinking if it's there later great - if not - no big deal. that night we waded through all the people and there was our blanket waiting for us. I know, dumb story...but life sure was simpler then. wonder do they even do the fireworks anymore? If O was still in, I would picture he and Michelle cuddling on their balcony watch. Assume Conald on his way to Mara Lago. Asshole

[pnwmom]

20. Not scary. Hopeful. Holder knows that when some charges finally come

raining down on the DT team, DT will be fighting back.

Holder wants them to be ready. And they will be.

[Hekate]

24. Agreed

[Gothmog]

7. Is a Saturday night massacre on the way?

[Catmusicfan]

9. Would he fire the whole DOJ to get Mueller and the investigation to stop?

[MFM008]

10. Anything is

Possible.
Obviously Mr. Holder suspects something is going to happen or has information.
Asshole figures if he fires everyone...it all dies down.

[virtualobserver]

15. He never stops doubling down.

He is totally irresponsible.

Seems inevitable.

[NCDem47]

27. Could be.

Think about it. It's a long holiday weekend where people have their attention elsewhere and newsrooms have light staffing. If Trump is going to rip the Band-Aid, it would be a strategic time to do so. It would be Wednesday before people came out of their holiday fog.

[gopiscrap]

30. welcome to du

[Jeroen]

11. He send a similar tweet weeks ago

It's not unusual and I am sure it won't be the last

[Catmusicfan]

12. Did he?

[NewJeffCT]

14. yes

a day or two after Comey was fired.

[Jeroen]

17. Tweet

[Leghorn21]

13. Yeah, this tweet is pretty remarkable, Cat...I'm hearing soooo much chatter hear and there

about imminent bombshells? (Good bombshells, dammit!) Yet can prove nothing, of course...

Just found this Clint Watts tweet from this morning (he testified at House hearing so powerfully...um...a month and a half ago? Very reliable source - knows his stuff):

Clint Watts @selectedwisdom

Standby

hmmmm....

16. Trump consistently attempts to intimidate or buy or blackmail his opponents.

It's reasonable to assume he is doing so up and down the justice department. People don't always behave with the same character in the dark. Holder's shining a light--we see you, so don't do it!

And with his message to the DOJ, Holder is also acting as a witness to anybody who is currently getting the president's mob treatment--you're not alone, it's OK, stay strong.

I say my figurative prayers for the men and women in this monumentally screwed up situation.

[pnwmom]

18. DT should be the one feeling nervous. You should be a bit more hopeful that good things are ahead.

The good guys are on it and they're going to win.

[Cha]

29. ...

[Catmusicfan]

34. A nervous man like DT w/ the football and codes to launch..

What do you think Trump is capable of doing with that football.

[pnwmom]

35. Did you notice that both Democrats and Republicans voted to take away DT's ability

to unilaterally start a war based on terrorism? It's an amendment to a larger bill, but when that bill is passed, DT will have less power than he does now.

Interesting that even his own people don't trust him.

[Catmusicfan]

36. True. But he still has powers of the nuke. What's to stop him from

Launching something 6am July 4th.

[Amaryllis]

31. Could be something big is about to drop which of course would mean attacks from the right,

as always, and he is warning them.

[L. Coyote]

37. Here is that tweet, June 30:
