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.

This is for only one reason. It is to prevent Holder from having to testify.
The question would be....what US Senator (Democrat) is going to be plucked to take the job? The timing of this leaves me to suggest it’ll be someone who is from a state where the replacement election is not until 2016. They likely knew this date episode a year ago, and just held back till they got near 1 October.
or,
"fear he otherwise could be locked in"
How is this possible?
Wait, is it an attempt to induce strokes and heart attacks in conservatives and Christians?

Any way to consolidate the two threads?
I can’t help thinking that the pile of excrement is inching ever closer to the impeller. Who will carry the torch and drool bucket for Barry now?
Somebody’s nervous about the GOP retaking the Senate and having both houses conducting hearings, isn’t he?
Actually, I suspect he won’t be “gone gone” rather just out of the direct public eye. People like this always have a place to land.............I’m sure there’s a plan of some sort.
Great news think I will fire up the fire for the hot tar.
Pray for the safety of ALL current SCOTUS.
I’ve never had a post removed by a mod here... yet...
But I’m tempted to express my true disdain for this worthless pos.
Confiscate his passport. He’s a flight risk.
