BREAKING…
(2014-09-25) — A Justice Department source says Attorney General Eric Holder hopes to leave his post fast, furious with opponents’ attacks on his tenure as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
President Obama, reportedly, plans to just “let him walk.”
“Of course, Obama will always know where Holder is,” the unnamed source said. “Such a powerful person is easy to trace, in case the president needs to shoot him an email, or has a legal concern that’s sort of borderline.”
Friends and associates say the Attorney General hopes to “get a job in the private sector where the cops won’t hassle him just because he’s black.”

Holder’s leaving Faster than you can say “Furious”.
Well done!
“shoot him”...wait, what?
Hey, speaking of you being cute, shouldn’t we be married?
Borrowed from James O’Keefe. He used the line in one of his sting vids. It’s always given me a chuckle.
I am certain that he will have a pardon signed by the annointed one in hand.
I did NOT see that coming. Obama and Holder are ideological equals. Obama has found that leftist slogans and “hope and change” are failures when meeting the reality of foreign affairs, and the economy - but there is still plenty of room to promote his fantasies in domestic policy and race relations
I had assumed Holder would be a bitter-clinger and stay until the very end.
One thing for sure - Obama is REALLY alone now. His last 2 years are going to be a JOKE.
I’m betting Eric leaving has to do with the court and Judicial Watch (see other threads).
No ,.. there is still Valjayjay
No doubt , he has already groomed his replacment.
I would expect an Hispanic from "La Raza" ('the race') to fight racism (oxymoron) and the expected amnesty for 'wetbacks'.
It follows my belief in this adminsitration:'if it's illegal, immoral, and doesn't make sense, ..expect it to happen'.
Without exposing his “adventures” censuring and impeaching him is letting him get away with murder.
Nah, I just brushed my teeth.
Add that name to the pardons list announced on the morning of 1/20/2017
Eric Holder is the fourth-longest-serving attorney general in U.S. history and has attracted more than his share of scandal.
1995 – Holder told the Woman's National Democratic Club that the DOJ would soon launch a public campaign to 'really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way ... in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes.'
January 2001 – As deputy attorney general, Holder interceded with President Clinton and advised him to pardon Marc Rich, a substantial campaign donor and 20-year fugitive, in a tax-evasion and racketeering case. Clinton granted the pardon during his final hours in office.
Eric Holder also pushed and got from Clinton a controversial presidential pardon for 16 members of violent Puerto Rican nationalist organizations. Holder, as deputy attorney general, pressed subordinates to drop objections to clemency for a group of terrorists convicted of numerous heinous crimes. Overall, they had been linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings, several armed robberies, six slayings and hundreds of injuries.
February 2009 – Holder was confirmed as attorney general by a 75-21 margin in the U.S Senate and became America's first black attorney general.
February 2009 – A newly minted AG Holder said during a speech marking Black History Month that the U.S. was 'essentially a nation of cowards' on race-relations. He said in January 2014 that 'I would not take that back.
May 2009 – Holder stunned legal watchers by decided to try a terror-bombing suspect in civilian courts instead of giving him a military tribunal at the Guantanamo Bay detention complex. Ahmed Ghailani, indicted for the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies which killed 12 Americans and 212 others, became the first Guantanamo prisoner brought to U.S. soil for a trial.
November 2009 – Following an Islamist Army doctor's jihad-related mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, Holder's DOJ classified the casualties as the result of 'workplace violence' instead of opening a terrorism case.
April 2010 – Holder personally OK'ed search warrants demanding the secret collection of emails belonging to Fox News Channel reporter James Rosen. The DOJ wanted to track the source of a national security leak without Rosen being aware he was being surveilled.
May 2011 – Holder testified under oath during a congressional hearing that he hadn't heard about the failed 'gunwalking' program Operation Fast and Furious until one month earlier. A memo later surfaced from 2010 showing that Holder had been briefed on the program, which lost track of nearly 2,000 guns that killed hundreds including an American border patrol agent.
June 2012 – Congress voted to hold Holder in contempt, an unprecedented move, for refusing to turn over the Fast and Furious documents that a Republican-led committee had subpoenaed.
November 2013 – a Texas Republican congressman filed Articles of Impeachment against Holder but only attracted 26 cosponsors for the bill.
March 2014 – Holder declined Republicans' demands to appoint an independent Special Prosecutor to probe allegations that IRS officials politically targeted conservative groups with intrusive investigations. Instead he endorsed the work of a DOJ lawyer who was an Obama campaign donor.

Holder stopped the investigation of obama supporter mayor Kevin Johnson of sacramento and fired the investigator.
He should have been removed from office then and most of the other bs wouldn’t have happened
