Obama Eyes Gov. Deval Patrick to Replace Eric Holder at Justice
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | Wednesday, May 15, 2013 | Michael Sneed

Sneed is told that Attorney General Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder’s days are numbered.

Sneed hears President Barack Obama, who is this/close to Holder, has set his sights on Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick as a possible replacement “when the heat dies down on the latest hot-button scandals to hit the U.S. Justice Department,” said a top White House source.

“The president will wait until the heat dies down — and a little time has passed beyond that — before he does anything to Holder because Holder is a close pal, and that’s a big deal in the White House,” said a top Dem source. “Holder is also a close buddy of Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett,” the source said. “Obama knows a change has to be made, but he wants Holder to leave with his reputation intact.”

Holder, reputation? Is that supposed to be a joke?!

It must be, if reputations were prosecutable Holder would be in prison.

Of course Obama and his handlers wish Holder the best after his resignation, in their eyes the RAT has served them well.

When the court rules the white house has to release communication on fast and furious Nero will claim it was all Holder and under the bus he will go.

Read it - believe it Holder. You will be blamed for eternity the Deaths of 2 USBorder agents and several Hundred Mexican Nationals. Barrack will not even blink an eye.

How about a white dude? I’m sure this Administration has appointed FAR more than the representative % of “Holder’s People” to jobs they are not qualified for, whatsoever. (Holder is a sleaze bag, and incompetent, and he will be replaced by yet ANOTHER sleaze-bag, incompetent, who just HAPPENS to be Black)

Oh for the days of appointments of quality individuals with honesty and patriotic character like Elliot Richardson.

You have GOT to be kidding me.

This Administration has no standards at all.

Boy, Holder would have to live on the proceeds from his wife’s abortion clinic.

Right? Why not Jay-Z? He’s at least as qualified. Or bust OJ out and plug him in? Holder’s ‘people’ would riot with joy.

I too, am from MA. We the beneficiaries of our “Tax and Spend” governor will really be upset if Cadillac Duval leaves the Corner Office for a gig at the DoiJ. In fact, I’m crying right now. (sob, sob, sob) Unfortunately, that means Lt Gov. “fastlane” Tim becomes our new spend thrift Gov. Now, I’m about to scream!!!!
