Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce Thursday that he is resigning from the Obama administration, a Justice Department official confirmed to Fox News. The decision would cap a tumultuous six-year term for the nation's top law enforcement official. Holder is one of the few Cabinet officials to have stayed on since the beginning of the Obama presidency. The Justice official said Holder has agreed to remain on the job until his successor is confirmed. According to the official, Holder has discussed his plans with Obama on "multiple occasions" in recent months. "[He] finalized those plans in an hour-long conversation with the president at the White House residence over Labor Day weekend," the official said. The official added that Holder has "no immediate plans" after leaving the post. Holder, who previously worked in private practice and before that was federal prosecutor, was one of the most controversial members of the Obama administration.

Watch for something Huge being hidden by team Obama. This card is a research trump card.
Something else is going on.
Will there be an assassination attempt on Ginsburg?
Been coming for a while. Wonder what new scandal is about to break?
Translation: They would rather have a bruising battle confirming his successor than allow him to be questioned by Congress.
Only 5 years too late.
We still need to prosecute the jerk.
Is this Beckel’s “October Surprise”?
On the same page as you. This is a diversion for something.
Must be something coming for him to leave.
Arrest the bastard before he breaks all of his hard drives!
But now that Harry Reid and Democrats went for the nuclear option, there will be no filibuster or delays in confirming a new attorney general. Meaning that Obama can nominate a liberal radical type, and know that Harry Reid can ram it through the Senate with 51 votes, and have this happen before the election. Or they may choose to do it during the lame duck session of Congress after election day.
Will Holder eventually face charges?
yeah, I doubt it too
Killjoy! He was first up for indictment and impeachment.
My guess is they know someone has something juicy on him that will eventually force him to resign. So better to get it over with now while they can still confirm his replacement.
Will also make it easier to bury the fact when he does not come up with anything to charge that cop in Ferguson with.
“Holder has “no immediate plans”...”
You might not want to make any plans for the 25-to-life.
Don't let the door hit you in the posterior!
Whoo hooo!
Best news I've heard all day!
Garbage in garbage out. Sounds ok to me.
one down, one to go
