Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.
Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly "adamant" about his desire to leave soon for fear he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama's second term.

His list of “accomplishments” read like an indictment for racism.

“Stedman” will go into huddle with his financial backers and lawyer up. My guess is criminal or civil charges coming (gun-running, IRS, etc.).

I don’t think this is goodbye. He will move to some other powerful position.

They would prefer Holder for Scalia or Thomas. That could be arranged by this crew.

The refrain should be “Eric holder is resigning in disgrace”.
To: Pyro7480
Can he take his friend, the President with him?

From your lips. And the ball-less Senate will confirm him.

What’s wrong, Eric? Did you make a fool of the DOJ in Ferguson? Michael Brown not so innocent after all?
