After150 + posts, you’re the only one who seems to see it my way—Holder’s holding out for a pardon. Obama’s stuck because if he offers it, the lid blows off.
He will give one if he can spin it. And that spin would be racist repubs forced his hand, so he must counter the witch hunting the only he can. He will make a little noise about how Holder cannot get a fair hearing in public as the GOP and yes, the media have poisoned the well.
You see? Not his fault. Had to be done to ensure fairness. The media then gets Repubs to trash as Holder said it himself. Issa was a disgrace or somesuch.
The MSM ignores the wiretaps, gets back to the evil that Repubs do, Obama gets rid of Holder, Holder goes on to a Million dollar private sector job lecturing on racism. The GOP says ‘we did what we could and it’s out of our hands...please send money.
Everyone wins! Except us.
You have to go back and see how Bubba's deal worked. One of the deals was taking his state Law license for 5 years. Another was that he would never practice in front of the United States Supreme Court.
IIRC, Bubba's deal was announced about 10 minutes before he left office.
