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.

Read NOTHING into this. Holder obviously has a big paying gig to go to and can do more for the liberal cause there. He isn’t stepping down because of any pressure.
“We can deal with his crimes later.”
Who will? The eGOP? They didn’t take care of Clintoons crimes. They won’t be taking care of Obama’s either. They claimed “We need to move forward.” Typical Dr. Spock cowardice.
Bttt
First of many to come.
Mathematically correct. However, the press is going to allow Holder leaving to suspend everything.
All prosecution before the AG is political in nature. It has nothing to do with rule of law.
I like fade into obscurity better
You're right. He can still be sued. The Government will pay for it.
My biggest fear is that Ginsberg will abruptly retire and Obama will nominate Holder to replace her and Harry Reid will nuke him onto the bench.
Could just be that he's tired of the job and wants to start pulling down those private sector dollars on top of his federal pension. Kinda like Eric Cantor, who lost little time finding a plush new job on Wall Street after losing his primary.

Eric Holder is looking forward to spending more time with his family.
Afraid I must disagree with you.
You maybe surely wrong.
Time will tell.
Either way, it won’t make any difference if the GOP wins or loses either house.
I mean outside of the passing Amnesty and Obama signing it that is.
