EXCLUSIVE: Was Obama’s Former AG Eric Holder Directing …
After working for President Obama for six years, Attorney General Eric Holder returned to the law firm where he had previously worked, Covington, where he became a partner in 2015.
Covington notes that In 2014, Time magazine named Mr. Holder to its list of 100 Most Influential People, noting that he had worked tirelessly to ensure equal justice. But this tells only a small part of Holders story as AG.

Many, including the Heritage Foundation in 2014, identified how corrupt Holder was as AG [emphasis added]:
the American people recognize that Mr. Holder is an ideologue who considers himself part of Mr. Obamas political team first and the attorney general a very distant second. His first loyalty has been to helping the president break, bend, ignore or fail to enforce the law, doing untold damage to our constitutional system and the rule of law.
As former Justice Department prosecutor Andy McCarthy has said, the Justice Department under Mr. Holder has become a sort of full-employment program for progressive activists, race-obsessed bean counters and lawyers who volunteered their services during the Bush years to help al Qaeda operatives file lawsuits against the United States.
There is no way to know how long it will take to repair the damage that Mr. Holder has done to the management and operation of the Justice Department. One thing we do know for sure it will take a great deal of work by a new attorney general who is willing to take on the activists that Mr. Holder will leave embedded within the career civil service ranks of the department. And it will take political willpower and steadfastness of a kind that is rarely seen in Washington.
Through his numerous actions as Obamas AG, Mr. Holder proved that he was not concerned with law and the constitution, he was concerned with power.
General Michael Flynn obtained attorneys from Covington to represent him in the filing of a FARA form in December of 2016, shortly after the 2016 election. A few months later, General Flynns life was turned upside down and he hired Covington to represent him in charges being leveled by the Mueller gang. Eventually, the Covington lawyers working for the General coerced him to sign a guilty plea on charges he did not believe he was guilty of performing.
After millions in legal fees, and untold negative stories in the MSM, General Flynn obtained new lawyers and yesterday General Mike Flynn broke his silence after the government finally released Brady documents showing he committed no crimes.
In a tweet, the General released his response to the court where he declared that he no longer agreed to a guilty plea in his case:

In General Flynns tweet, he shared a number of devastating points where it becomes clear that his attorneys at Covington, in spite of taking millions in legal fees, were not working in the Generals best interest.
In one of the first meetings with Covington, Flynns lawyers asked if he had any dirt on President Trump:
Covington attorneys never explained to the General that there were any problems with his FARA filings which Flynn initially hired Covington to address. Covington lawyers said that they were willing to represent the General in any upcoming legal issues and he agreed:
Then over the 2017 Thanksgiving holiday, after months in the news, Covington attorneys called the General to tell him that the Mueller Special Counsel was planning on bringing charges against the General, and advised him that if he did not plead guilty, that he would be indicted on multiple counts and his son would be indicted as well. Covingtons lawyers told him that he could be looking at 15 years in prison and he could receive the Manafort treatment [where he would likely be abused in solitary confinement]:
Still at at this time, General Flynn did not believe that he had lied to FBI agents in January 2017.
A few days later, General Flynn was advised by his Covington attorneys that if he did not plead guilty, he would be indicted the next day. His attorneys also told him and his wife that the FBI Agents stood by what their statements were after their interview with General Flynn in the White House in early 2017:
General Flynn says that he would not have pleaded guilty if his Covington lawyers had told him that the FBI agents believed he was telling the truth in their interview and at no time did his Covington lawyers tell him this was the statement of the FBI agents:
Every time General Flynn said that he didnt lie after making his original plea, his Covington attorneys told him to stick with his plea:

There have been numerous reports in the news of late, since General Flynn obtained former US Attorney Sidney Powell to represent him, that his Covington lawyers had numerous conflicts of interest in his case.
Not only this, but Powell tweets that the Mueller gang had a secret deal with Flynns Covington attorneys that was not shared with General Flynn:
In addition to the numerous conflicts, we reported in January 2020 that the DOJs Trisha Anderson went to work for Covington while they represented General Flynn. To this day we have no evidence that Covington notified General Flynn about hiring one of the individuals at the DOJ involved in the Russia collusion sham.
Covington had numerous conflicts of interest related to their biggest case ever, representing General Michael Flynn in his unjust indictment by the Mueller gang. His attorneys withheld evidence from their client. They asked for dirt on President Trump. They hired individuals that were involved in the criminal Spygate scandal.
