"The dismissal of Maurene Comey is a travesty. It's inconsistent with the way in which Justice Departments under Republican as well as Democratic attorneys generals conduct themselves." Former Attorney General Eric Holder joins Chris Hayes on All in to react to the firing of federal prosecutor Maurene Comey,

Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor and the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, told her former colleagues in an email that her sudden firing should “fuel the fire” of their work fighting abuses of power.

“If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain,” Comey said in the note, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. “Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.”
