Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder sent out a early morning message via Twitter, warning and encouraging “career men and women” at the Department of Justice and the FBI.
“Your actions and integrity will be unfairly questioned. Be prepared, be strong. Duty. Honor. Country,” he said.
To the career men & women at DOJ/FBI: your actions and integrity will be unfairly questioned. Be prepared, be strong. Duty. Honor. Country.

The tweet comes as the FBI conducts an investigation into whether President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to interfere with the 2016 election.
Is there some known context to Holder’s statement?
Probably the coming sh@tstorm of tweets Trump will unleash when indictments start flying out to the White House. Manafort, Bannon, Priebus and maybe even Kushner.
He might know something we don’t. Or he might be reacting to the contorted and contrived right wing attacks on Comey and Mueller this week.
Can’t help but wonder, for you dyed-in-the-wool Republican DOJ employees and especially FBI agents: how’s it feel being thrown under the bus by your own party? Oh, and have them back that bus over and over?
The antibodies of our democracy, and I mean that as an honorific.
