Former Attorney General Eric Holder had a meltdown on Twitter Wednesday as ties between Democrats and an attorney, who closed former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s case, were exposed.
Holder lashed out at journalist Paul Sperry on Twitter, telling Sperry that he should “shut the hell up” about federal prosecutor Molly Gaston’s donations to former President Barack Obama.
On Tuesday, Sperry had tweeted that Gaston, an assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C., had signed off on a letter informing the attorney for former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe that the government would not pursue charges against McCabe, reported Fox News.
The Justice Department inspector general’s office referred McCabe for potential prosecution in 2018 after concluding that had repeatedly lied about having authorized a subordinate to share information with a newspaper reporter for a 2016 article about an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation, per Fox News.
Paul Sperry tweeted that Gaston “is [a] Democrat who’s given thousands to Dems including Obama & who once worked for Dem side of House Oversight & whose mother worked for WaPo [The Washington Post].”
“BREAKING: Molly Gaston, the asst US Attorney who signed letter to McCabe’s lawyer informing McCabe she was closing criminal case against him, is Democrat who’s given thousands to Dems including Obama & who once worked for Dem side of House Oversight & whose mother worked for WaPo,” Paul Sperry tweeted.

In response, Eric Holder attacked Sperry, calling him a loser, and telling him to “shut the hell up”.
“Why don’t you shut the hell up. Your bias is showing. I bet you’ve never been a prosecutor or have any idea how DOJ works,” Holder tweeted to Perry.
“People like you-who want to use the justice system for political reasons-are both dangerous and ignorant. The case was-like you-an obvious loser,” he added. (Continued Below)
On Friday Sperry asked: “The father of the Obama Democrat-donating prosecutor who let admitted perjurer Andrew McCabe off the hook happens to be partners with Eric Holder at the DC law firm of Covington & Burling. Did the former AG have something to do with McCabe getting off?”
He also took on Holder earlier this week after Eric Holder told government employees not to resign and “stay strong” under the “corrupt” Trump administration. “[F]ormer AG Eric Holder rallies the cabal of DOJ holdovers to continue to resist, thwart, sabotage, leak on AG Barr and Trump,” Sperry had tweeted in response.

Talk about no firewall between the attorney general and president — Holder was Obama's wingman and their wives were BFFs, all united in the same racialist agenda.
