🚨ERIC HOLDER'S GHOST HAUNTS TRUMP DOJ
Holder was notorious for weaponizing DOJ under Obama: pushing CRT, dropping the Black Panthers election intimidation case, withholding docs from Congress.

Brief reminder:
Holder more or less mainstreamed the idea that voter ID laws are discriminatory, by suing Texas over a voter ID law. The DOJ ultimately settled the case, admitting no "discriminatory effect or intent."

Holder claimed that policies with "the appearance of being race-neutral" nonetheless "disproportionately disenfranchise African-Americans, Hispanics, other communities of color and vulnerable populations such as the elderly.”

After he left the role of attorney general in 2015, he took the reins at the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which challenges maps and helps Democrats win elections.

Meet Tina Thomas. She's an assistant U.S. attorney at DOJ.
According to her LinkedIN bio, she worked closely with Holder during her time at Covington & Burling (2015-2021), particularly on Holder's redistricting work.🤔

Both LinkedIn and her old Covington bio mention she did pro-bono work with the National Redistricting Foundation, a nonprofit aligned with Holder's committee.

Thomas is a "burrower." President Biden appointed her to a political position in the DOJ Office of Legal Policy, but she took a job in the DC U.S. attorney's office in August 2024.
As best I can tell, she's still working in Trump's DOJ.
