NYT: White House Wants Holder to Resign
Newsmax ^ | 6/2/2013 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 06/02/2013 2:11:14 PM PDT by ImJustAnotherOkie

Presidential aides are privately admitting to a growing frustration inside the White House with Attorney General Eric Holder’s political ineptness in the press leak investigations and are hoping the embattled appointee will resign from office, The New York Times reports.

“The White House is apoplectic about him, and has been for a long time,” said an anonymous Democrat source, identified only as a former government employee who acknowledged the White House staffers in question are his friends.

President Barack Obama’s advisers are frustrated with Holder’s inability to foresee problems arising from his approval of a subpoena naming a Fox News reporter as a coconspirator in an espionage investigation. Now Congress is looking at whether Holder lied under oath when he testified last month that he knew nothing about the incident.

Kind of like folks who obtain pit bulls then act surprised and dismayed when they act like pit bulls - especially after spending so much time siccing them on folks...

Hey Hey pit bulls ares still dogs and as such are noble animals. if raised with love an affection can be wonderful pets, Eric Holder, not so much....

Sure he can. That he WONT speaks to the cowardice of the GOP charged as an ‘opposition’ party.

But he most certainly CAN be tossed out.

There is NO way that Holder will ever be on the SCOTUS. Before this he was a shoe in.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I don’t want him to resign. That would take a GREAT measure of pressure off the REAL culprits in this corruption that has no bottom. It would defuse any impeachment momentum that is going.

I would be willing to bet good money...we will never see a Holder resignation....
Obama simply does not think the law applies to his adminstration...

They will circle the wagons and wait it out or cause an issue to refocus the media on a big issue...

The White House want’s Holder to resign.So what I want Him and the “P”Resident tried and convicted of Treasonous acts against the United Stated.

Everything he’s done proves he’s got very dirty hands.We only need an excellent Prosecutor and one with Guts.

These guys have to leave before they totally destroy this country economically and otherwise.

I’m not sure if your posted image is derived from a biblical world view. but it is apt. We are dealing with men who are animated by Satan and his kingdom, with all of the craftiness and power belonging to him.

Holder needs to resign “to spend more time with his family”....Right. Did Goebbels resign the Third Reich?

There's not going to be any impeachment. Politically, it's not going to fly with the American people.

However, it's quite conceivable that a record-setting number of administration members could end up in jail. And Holder is one of them.

Resignation would remove a lot of the heat from Fast & Furious, the AP/John Rosen warrants and the standing Contempt of Congress charge.

Holder needs to stay -- so that the full depth of his corruption and depravity may be plumbed and the total weight of the law and public opinion might propel the little weasel into jail, where he belongs.

I do not want Holder to resign. I want the entire Obama/democrat criminal enterprise take out, legally. I want these traitors to see personal/professional destruction and prison time, at a minimum.

However, realistically, we will have to take whatever we can get.

Monkeys will fly out of your arse, in formation, singing the "Horst Wessel Lied", before anyone in the Obamanation sees justice.

Ain't THAT the truth.

Obama will say, “Holder? Who is Eric Holder? I never knew him.”

"Just a guy in the neighborhood."
