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.
Who is on Issa’s Trophy Wall?
Can’t happen too soon.....but needs to include tar and feathers.
Hahahaha...... No wonder. I thought I was seeing things.. LOL/
“Stepping Down”? Hell, it should be “hanging down”, by the neck.
We need to give Holder and Obama the Nagin treatment.
I’ll see it when I believe it.
“Holder for a judge-ship?”
Future Supreme Court nominee.
That could be.
He’d be a lightning rod as a nominee but I’m sure the race card would get him confirmed.
How about Hillary’s VP?
Doesn’t matter. The One will pick someone just as corrupt and willing to violate the Constitution for political gain.
In his mind it would stepping down but it’s really a case of him just stepping aside.
With which Czardom will he be rewarded, this good and faithful Marxist?

He ought to be stepping into an orange jumpsuit in a maximum security prison for crimes he had a part in,ranging from the murder of woman and children in the Waco massacre to the death of Border patrol officer,Brian Terry and hundreds of innocent Mexican citizens in Operation Fast and
Furious.
In a sane world the first thing the new AG would do is indict and arrest Eric Holder. Unfortunately, we haven’t lived in a “sane” world for quite some time now.
Bring on the wise Latinos!
Republicans are too afraid the mean old media will call them racists if they try anything like that so they'll do absolutely nothing to bring any of Obama's goons to justice.
I wouldn’t be surprised if obama set up a NEW “law enforcement” agency amd put holder at it’s head...the same way Hitler created the SS and put Himler at its head.
Steps down now, gets a pardon early on while it’s still relatively easy. Rat leaving a sinking ship.
Holder is Obama’s Luca Brasi. If Holder steps down, Obama will appoint his version of Al Neri to the office of AG.
