Former President Obama has been increasingly speaking out against the current administration, and he’s not alone. Former Attorney General Eric Holder has also spoken out, most recently following President Trump’s comments about the FBI:
Nope. Not letting this go. The FBI’s reputation is not in “tatters”. It’s composed of the same dedicated men and women who have always worked there and who do a great, apolitical job. You’ll find integrity and honesty at FBI headquarters and not at 1600 Penn Ave right now

To say that Holder’s credibility on the subject of integrity and honesty is questionable would be the understatement of the year:
Hahhahahahahahahahahahaha
You, were leader of the corruption. You caused it. You grew it. You encouraged it.
Be gone with you. https://t.co/e1ox0pPf68

Those comments are simply facepalm-inducing considering the source:
You are the LAST person that should ever let the word integrity & honesty come out of your mouth. You were the 1st Attorney General that had to step down after being held in contempt of Congress because you refused to hand over documents from your ILLEGAL gun running scheme. https://t.co/RMDC4Znvg2

Ran guns to Mexico and got Agent Brian Terry murdered ✔️
Assisted in covering up the IRS being weaponized against conservatives ✔️
Only sitting AG in U.S. history to be held in civil and criminal contempt of Congress ✔️
You’ve no business discussing honesty & integrity. https://t.co/7w3qjfoeK9

From the man found guilty of lying to Congress, caused the murder of border agents in #FastNFurious, & should have been impeached. #NoCredibility#Liar @EricHolder https://t.co/O7nLAxgndN

Laughable Eric. Then why was Hillary not prosecuted for using an illegal private server to send and receive highly classified documents? Was that not a serious crime? https://t.co/Cfag7lvVTx
