“Stedman” will go into huddle with his financial backers and lawyer up. My guess is criminal or civil charges coming (gun-running, IRS, etc.).

I don’t think this is goodbye. He will move to some other powerful position.

They would prefer Holder for Scalia or Thomas. That could be arranged by this crew.

The refrain should be “Eric holder is resigning in disgrace”.

What’s wrong, Eric? Did you make a fool of the DOJ in Ferguson? Michael Brown not so innocent after all?

Kerry is worse only because he is an actual military traitor. Both are leftist dunces.

They’ll probably replace him with Bill Ayres.
