Scandal: The attorney general who oversaw the administration's Fast and Furious gun-walking operation into Mexico resigns right after a federal court denies a DOJ request to delay releasing Fast And Furious documents.
Eric Holder's resignation as attorney general, like anything that occurs in the Obama administration, raises questions of timing.
Pundits ask why now, with some suggesting President Obama is getting a two-fer ginning up his base with tributes to the first African-American AG before the midterms while starting the nomination and confirmation process before a possible Republican takeover of the Senate in November.
Rush Limbaugh has even suggested that Obama, who in an effort to hold the Senate has reminded Democratic voters that he still gets to appoint Supreme Court justices, might be making Holder available for such an appointment should a vacancy occur.
Both may be true, but Kelly Terry-Willis, the sister of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, thinks a recent court defeat for the Department of Justice may be the real reason.

Indeed it's not. There's no such thing as a coincidence, especially in politics.
Jesus Christ: You cant impeach Him and He aint going to resign.
Can someone out of office still be forced to testify before Congress?
When those Fast and Furious documents become public, Holder will need another Obama flunkie acting as Attorney General who will bring no charges just like Holder refused to bring charges against IRS, EPA, and all the other alphabet corrupt agencies.
“first African-American AG before the midterms while starting the nomination and confirmation process before a possible Republican takeover of the Senate in November.”
If Reps take over in the midterm, it won’t take effect til January. This ill be voted in during the lame duck session

I don’t see any upside for Obama from Holder bailing. He’ll be forgotten by the elections. I suspect some real juicy sh*t is about to hit the fan.
Interesting!
Does she know something that hasn’t been made public yet?
Pray that it’s so!
He can go down and serve as a crossing guard at a well known abortion clinic in Atlanta....

Holder is a criminal
Remember that no matter what happens, nobama has already written Holder’s presidential pardon.
Holder has nothing to worry about, unfortunately. Another high government sleaze bag getting away with crimes that would doom a peasant like us to life in prison.
holder is a criminal and an affirmative-action loser. The fool’s professional history is replete with bad judgement, lack of integrity, racism and stupidity. The hobo should be in prison for his many crimes against the Rule of Law.
“I do not find it a coincidence that Eric Holder chose now to resign after Judge Bates denied the request from the DOJ to delay the release of the Fast and Furious documents,” Terry-Willis told Katie Pavlich of Townhall.com.
“I personally think Eric Holder was really hoping that the documents would never be made public to my family and to the American people,” she said.”
How interesting to watch this unfold.
Guess which name is on the top of Zero’s list of pardons to issue as he’s headed out the exit in 2017?
Justice at DOJ? Get real. All of us, including the people protecting America, become collateral damage when the elites, criminals, punks, pukes, psychotics, progressives, socialists, sickos, RINOS, weirdos, totalitarians have an agenda to implement.
