Holder resigning as attorney general, official says

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.

They’ve concluded they are losing the Senate, and they want his successor confirmed before the new Senate takes office?

You might not want to make any plans for the 25-to-life.

Yeah, well, magazine subscriptions. There's that.

Holder resigning as attorney general, official says

Great!! Best news for America in a long time. The "Racist-in-General" quits...just before the mid-term elections. We will probably never know the real reason. Who cares? The important thing is that this currupt slimebag will be GONE, leaving a stain on America that will take generations to erase.

If we do it too soon, he will get a presidential pardon.

There is a better chance that hell will freeze over that there is that Holder will be prosecuted.

Here’s the short list for Holder’s replacement (they’re all attorneys):

1) Malik Shabazz
2) Benjamin Crump
3) Van Jones

Will there be an assassination attempt on Ginsburg?

It would make sense to a demented leftist.

She'd better lockup her suppositories.

What, won't the New Black Panthers make a vacancy for him at the top?

Shouldn’t this criminal affirmative-action loser be arrested and imprisoned pending trial?

Zeke Emanuel says she's already 6 years beyond her optimum age to die, so maybe she'll volunteer to off herself.

All in the interest of the country, and preserving Obamacare, of course.

Now this is entirely within the realm of possibility, and completely scary.
