Clearest Sign Yet the GOP Will Take the Senate: Eric Holder to Resign
redstate.com ^ | 9/25/14 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 09/25/2014 8:10:13 AM PDT by cotton1706

Eric Holder is going to resign his position as Attorney General

News is just coming across the wire. Holder has been Obama’s friend and companion for six years. He has relentlessly screwed up most everything he has touched. He has overseen a Department of Justice that has been complicit in killing American border patrol agents and covering up abusive government. In the vernacular of the kids these days, Eric Holder has loyally served as Barack Obama’s cockblocker.

And now he is resigning.

The only reason Eric Holder would do this now, before the mid-term elections, is if he was pretty sure he’d have to deal with a Republican Senate next year. A nomination and confirmation fight is just another area to be politicized before the 2014 mid-terms when the nation has turned against Barack Obama on a host of issues and Republicans are revving up attacks on both the IRS and Benghazi. It means a potential loss of control on another front when the Democrats are already on defense across the country. That instability does not happen unless the people in positions to control this decision see headwinds against them.

Eric Holder resigning is another sign the Democrats are worried about having to deal with a Republican Senate majority in January.

Contemplating what?

I am not concerned with whether or not you are sure, because I am sure.

Is the GOP conservative in any way at all?

No.

Does the GOP stab its base in the back while it aids and abets communists?

Yes.

You contemplate that, because the GOP has done not one single thing to deserve any conservative vote.

Cockblocker, whatever... I guess it's a job one can't be expected to perform forever

And when is the last time Congress put anyone in jail? Lois Lerner should be in jail now but she is walking free.

Regardless of who is named, he/she WILL be of a protected minority group.

I’m guessing Van Jones.

They’ll won’t dare hold hearings or a vote before the election. They will try to push Obumma’s new lackey through in the lame duck!

Holder not only belongs behind bars, he deserves Barry as a cellmate.

In a Mexican prison cell for multiple lifetimes for the hundreds of Fast & Furious murders they concieved and facilitated.

Enter Coupe Deval Patrick whose time as governor of MA. is almost up. He’s lovingly referred to as mini-Me. A reference to being a smaller version of his bud Barry.

Deval Patrick is out of office here in MA in January. I’ve no doubt he’s on the list.

Don’t be a bore.

I don’t believe so. A pardon would be a forgiveness of criminal wrongdoing, but I don’t think it affects civil issues. I’m not a lawyer, though, so I could be wrong about this.

I wonder if that had anything to do with Holder’s resignation.

I never heard the term “cockblocker” and had to look it up. Seeing Obama Holder and cockblocker in the same sentence is a hoot.
