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.
Will we have to pay for a lifetime security detail when he goes to work on Wall Street or K Street, or both?
To be replaced by some other creep.
Next stop hell huh Erik...
Next stop hell huh Erik...
Exactly my first thought too... Scary.
Gee will Holder be treated like Alberto Gonzales? Google Alberto Gonzales protests and see what I mean. Note some of the issues also apply to Holder!
GET LOST ERICA!
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
The same ‘reports’ were going around after the November 2012 elections.
Supreme Court. Ruth Buzzi steps down, Holder steps in.
he’s tempted to leave so he can defend more terrorists.
He will stay until the elections in 2014 are over. I am sure he wants to make sure they are run properly!
LMAO! Then it will disappoint democrats!
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now Holder can pursue his dream job of preaching racial hatred to college students.
The Good News: Eric Holder might resign.
The Bad News: Obama always finds someone worse to fill vacancies.
Hate it when meme makers can’t spell....
