I was just thinking of the utility of the AG to the WH and that Holder is somewhat capable of acting on his own. (just a guess) In contrast to Incompetano who is warming a seat in an agency that is meaningless in its redundancy. But that very fact does makes Holder more likely to see the underside of the bus. He's actually doing something.
All Janet has to do is not contradict herself in a 24 hour period. Too often. lol So it comes down to whether Eric can keep from screwing up a dirty deed before Janet has to publically explain something she has no clue about.
Holder has to rely on the performance of many subordinates. Napalireno only has to rely on her brain. I really don't want to be the bookie that sets those odds. LOL
