Eric Holder posts cryptic 3am tweet
The Wall Street Journal published an article on Thursday that added a new dimension to the Trump-Russia probe.
The main point of the article was how a now dead Republican operative named Peter Smith, tried to get his hands on the stolen Hillary Clinton emails, possibly at the request of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
The most important part of the article is where it says that the operation Smith described is “consistent with information that has been examined by U.S. investigators probing Russian interference in the elections.”
The article got the attention of many lawmakers with some of them taking to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif) tweeted, “Hmmm, would this explain why @RealDonaldTrump worked so hard to try to get FBI to drop Flynn investigation?”

But hours later it was former Attorney General Eric Holder who sent the most memorable if cryptic tweet.
“To the career men & women at DOJ/FBI: your actions and integrity will be unfairly questioned. Be prepared, be strong. Duty. Honor. Country.”

Unfortunately, Smith is now dead which will hamper the investigation where he is concerned. But if intelligence reports are correct, then Flynn, who we know has asked for immunity, would be a valuable asset.
He would be able to tell investigators if Trump has anything to do with what went on.
We will have to wait and see how it all plays out but one thing is assured, it won’t be boring.
Something big is coming. A 3am tweet from Eric Holder? Yeah, something's coming.
