Multiple Controversies Plagued Eric Holder Prior to Resignation

The Daily Signal ^ | September 25, 2014 | Sharyl Attkisson

[CharlesOConnell]

The unexpected resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder follows a series of court rulings against his Department of Justice over its failure to produce documents related to the government’s “Fast and Furious” firearms operation.

Holder also has come under increasing congressional criticism for a tepid investigation of evidence that IRS officials deliberately targeted tea party and other conservative groups for greater scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.

Eric Holder leaves a Justice Department facing numerous controversies and negative court rulings.

Sorry, main story link is here.

[morphing libertarian]

she was clearly too much of a journalist to be on CBS

[mrsmel]

I am wondering how much this sudden resignation is influenced by the court order to turn over Fast & Furious documents by October 22, and what bombshell they may contain. It would be a miracle, but I can always hope.

[all the best]

Disheartening to know that the countries top law enforcement personage is also it’s biggest criminal. Well, maybe he’s only number two criminal.

[Eccl 10:2]

I would not expect any successor named to be more forthcoming, or even cooperative at all.

I expect his successor will be even more belligerent and America-hating.

[WKUHilltopper]

So? He’s still walking free.

[mrsmel]

That will certainly be true of the nominee, but surely even this spineless GOPe won’t think that it’s in their best interests to confirm such a nominee?

I apologise for (yet another!) double post, don’t know what’s going on with my browser today!

[I cannot think of a name]

Sorry, but we are witnessing another sorry scam by this POS.

With a little over two years remaining of our curse - plenty of time for Holdless to be charged, tried, convicted, and pardoned by zero - all while zero still infests the White House.

And of course Holdless will walk free to a multimillion dollar book deal and appearing on TV in perpetuity!
