Attorney General Eric Holder, long besieged by accusations of corruption and outright felonious behavior, has stated that he may step down in 2014 as the nation’s top alleged law enforcer.
In an article with the New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin, Holder admitted that he intends to stay “well into” 2014, but in doing so, has once again fueled speculation that the Attorney General will be stepping down by year’s end. The Justice Department has worked to downplay the rumors and Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon tweeted, “Actually, most he said was he planned to stay well into ’14.”
However, it seems that whether Holder is gone tomorrow or several months later, the fact remains that it appears that the scandal-ridden Attorney General is looking for the door- news that is sure to delight conservatives and others who favor officials abiding by the law.
Holder has been held in contempt of Congress for his role in the Fast and Furious scandal which left weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels and one border patrol agent, Brian Terry, dead. The contempt charge stems from Holder’s unwillingness to cooperate in the investigation before being cloaked in a flimsy pretense of executive privilege.
Holder’s Justice Department has been linked to corruption from the moment Holder entered the office. One of the first acts by the new Attorney General was to drop the case of two Black Panthers who intimidated white voters outside a voting station in Philadelphia in the 2008 presidential election. Holder’s Justice Department dropped the case during the sentencing phase.
It has been a rocky ride for Holder, but an even rockier ride for Americans who, perhaps naively, looked to the Attorney General to uphold the rule of law in America.
Must have found a good mansion in Myanmar.
What is the status of the executive privelge charade?
This is one of those ‘I’ll believe it ONLY when I see it’ moments. The pathetic excuse for a man makes his living lying.
Not too new, but I am farsighted and can see a pattern.
That a member of the Sacred Administration is willingly stepping down over all this is good.
Or one of the Muzzie brotherhood’s murdering thugs.
Time for another Nuremberg trial, USA style.

My money is on civil rights attorney and MA Governor Deval Patrick. Patrick is from Chicago and has already indicated he is not seeking re-election in 2014.
IS that gonna be before he is indicted for Treason, or afterwards?
They’re going to obamacare Ginsberg...
Long walk, short pier. Of all of the people who so perfectly represent the disgusting corruption of the 0bama administration this one is at the very top. I hope he spends the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, because this one knows way, way too much.
No, it’s a black lady from CA. Wish I could remember the name, sorry, but that’s who it will be.
Guy named DW Ulstermann posted on his site that this was going to happen, late summer, early fall.
What, they let Manson out of prison so Ohomo has someone more to his liking to take the job?
Rats jumping ship?
Exactly. If Holder steps down, we can be assured there's someone even worse waiting in the wings.
Will no Senator put a hold on this nominee?
