Sneed is told that Attorney General Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder’s days are numbered.
Sneed hears President Barack Obama, who is this/close to Holder, has set his sights on Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick as a possible replacement “when the heat dies down on the latest hot-button scandals to hit the U.S. Justice Department,” said a top White House source.

“The president will wait until the heat dies down — and a little time has passed beyond that — before he does anything to Holder because Holder is a close pal, and that’s a big deal in the White House,” said a top Dem source. “Holder is also a close buddy of Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett,” the source said. “Obama knows a change has to be made, but he wants Holder to leave with his reputation intact.”

You would think it'd be hard to find someone more incompetent than Holder. I underestimated Obama.

Maybe Hank Johnson was too busy, writing his thesis on the dangers of Guam tipping over due to overpopulation?

Black and dumb. Also, black and ideological. I don’t think, from what I read here, that Deval Patrick is much better than Holder.

That was my impression as I watched him standing around at the various press conferences re Boston Marathon terror
Dumb as a rock
To: kristinn
Patrick would just continue to carry on as Obummer’s lapdog at the Injustice Dept. but at least he wasn't responsible for the murder of women and children at Waco.

“Holder is also a close buddy of Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett,” the source said. “Obama knows a change has to be made, but he wants Holder to leave with his reputation intact.” Holder is in deep crap -- with not only the AP phone records grab but Fast & Furious is on the verge of heating up again.
And Holder is the kind of weasel who won't go under the bus quietly...

Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick comes to mind. She has lots of experience sitting in on federal investigations for her son and she is dumb as a bag of rocks.
