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 nations top alleged law enforcer.
In an article with the New Yorkers 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 years 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 Holders unwillingness to cooperate in the investigation before being cloaked in a flimsy pretense of executive privilege.
Holders 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. Holders 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.
*IF* Holder steps down (AND I HIGHLY DOUBT IT) look for Obama to appoint Malik Zulu Shabazz from the New Black Panther Party.
Holder for a judge-ship?
Wheres that tombstone picture
I doubt it as well.
He’s in too deep.
Obama must have somebody even worse in mind.
He shouldnt be allowed to step down. He should be jailed. (but he wont)
Hopefully jail awaits.
He won’t leave. I bet he’ll run for President in 2016.
He should step down. And right into a cell at Gitmo. Along with his boss.
Criminal scum; all.
I hope that first step is about 500 feet.
Bill Ayers?
Yes, Deval Patrick.
Obama must have somebody even worse in mind.

Oh he does, he does.
His wife; MOBama.
maybe he could do a go pro and leap from a plane and end up in a pig pen the fricking racist comiepinko f stick
The FACT remains that Eric The Red needs to REMOVED from office and then, IMMEDIATELY charged with any and all applicable Criminal and Civil Charges that can be mustered.
He cannot step down before he is tried and convicted of high crimes.
He should be headed to prison or hanged for Treason.
Not a dimes worth of difference between the two .........
A sign the Democrats are in big trouble. Once the Republicans take over the Senate I wouldn’t be surprised to see all sorts of hearing into the corruption that been going on. Holder wants to get out of Dodge. He’s ground zero for Zero.
He will stay until the elections in 2014 are over. I am sure he wants to make sure they are run properly! Yep.
