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.

Forcing Holder to resign will be a terrible psychological blow to him.

He’ll become so despondent he’ll commit suicide—

Does Obama know Holder is still there?

Has anyone told Obama that Hillary left?

That's true but think about impeaching a black potus? What are the odds? Slim,to none? My guess is they will simply buy holder. Pay him to leave. Spend more time with the family.

There are other rumors about zero that indicate he may voluntarily leave early.No, I won't say, no, I can't verify.

This article is a trial balloon.

Exactly.

Also, the old grey lady is having trouble selling even Sunday editions now.

The odds are none to negative. I don’t see him ever leaving.

Who is going to make him?

I call on Obama to resign. come on Palin,Rush , levin, Hannity , you can too you know.

Obama ordered his IRS to rig the election of 2012 for Obama and democrats/socialists in the Senate.

Obama’s IRS prevented many tea party groups from getting started and also audited individual donors to Romney and to the Republican party. The IRS stole the election. We no longer live in a free country

“Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said Thursday his constituents have suggested they were audited by the Internal Revenue Service because they donated to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. ....”

“The White House is apoplectic about him, and has been for a long time,”

Expect Obama to claim soon that he had nothing to do with picking his attorney general. Vallerie Jarrett picked him.
He’ll also remind us that Holder was there under Bush also so his administration is not entirely responsible.

Then we’ll hear the usual nonsense that every effort is being made to get at the bottom of this and justice will be done, yada, yada, yada.

The main thing I’m scared about here is that Obama & Holder will just agree to switch jobs with one another.

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

Holder can’t be forced out. He knows too much. He won’t go down alone.

Holder was the hit man for bubba before jarrett,he’s well insulated. Don’t look for anything serious to happen to him. My best guess remains they buy him. Send him to the farm for some R&R.Maybe a year from now he suffers a Breitbart....

Yup. Kabuki theater.

Everything this African communist regime and its Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms do is bukkake theater.

After Holder resigns, no sane person would accept the offer to be the next AG.

A truly apt descriptor. In the literal and figurative sense.

There are so many crimes out there that it’s hard to know where to begin, because each one leads to another.

I lived through Nixon, but he was small potatoes compared to Obama.

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

Good grief... That is something that never crossed my mind.
Really? Somebody thought that corrupt, repugnant sleazebag Holder could have been nominated to the Supreme Court??

Has the NYT figured out they no longer matter because they have not been reporting the news for the past 4 1/2 years.

I Don't have any question at all that if valjar wanted she could get rid of anyone, even holder.she is an absolute dictator. But, even she is not that stupid.

Holder can if he wants to play both sides. The Chicago mobsters and the clinton mob. He could make things very interesting. It won't come to that but he could and they know it.

If anything happened to him soon,it would look bad. Look for him to be Breitbarted in about a year.
