Eric Holder To Step Down As Attorney General
NPR ^ | 09/25/2014 | Carrie Johnson

Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.

Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly "adamant" about his desire to leave soon for fear he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama's second term.

He should be going to jail, not stepping down.

Goodbye to the racist attorney general. I wonder if the media will mention that the people’s representatives held him in Contempt of Congress?

Good. But his replacement will likely be worse.

No one should think that things will get better for America with this move.

Someone worse will be appointed, and Holder will go somewhere where he can do even more damage.

Could be... he is “only” in contempt of the House; SCOTUS is the purview of the Sinate.

It won’t make a difference. He will just be replaced with another Obama sycophant who will refuse to prosecute any Obama-appointed criminals.
