BALTIMORE (CBSDC) — Attorney General Eric Holder might not be sticking around for a second term.
Holder told law school students at the University of Baltimore School of Law that he does not know if he will stay in his job.
“That’s something that I’m in the process now of trying to determine,” Holder said. “I have to think about, can I contribute in a second term?”
Holder says he needs to sit down with his family and President Obama to see if he wants to continue on the job.
“[I have to] really ask myself the question about, do I think there are things that I still want to do? Do I have gas left in the tank? It’s been an interesting and tough four years, so I really just don’t know,” Holder told students.
Holder has been under fire from congressional Republicans for what he knew about the botched “Fast and Furious” operation where the U.S. allowed guns to be sold illegally in hopes to track Mexican drug cartels. Holder was found in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents regarding the operation. President Obama has invoked executive privilege.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was reportedly killed with one of the guns used in the ATF operation.
Terry’s December 2010 death lifted the veil on the bungled federal government’s gun-smuggling investigation that was later the subject of congressional probes.

I heard a couple of times on FNC this a.m. that Janet Napolitano may be a consideration for Holder’s job (she wants it). I think it was Huckabee that said she’d have a hard time getting through the Senate as she’s been terrible as the head of HS.
I want him in jail. Issa needs to keep his feet to the fire over a number of issues.
Fast & Furious & Bangazhi need to stay in front of Congressional committees.
I agree with those above. This piece of filth will be one of Obama’s SCOTUS picks. May God help us all.
Will he be replaced by a muslim?
