Attorney General Eric Holder is officially announcing today that he is stepping down from his post, according to multiple reports. Holder has been in office for over five and a half years, and is one of President Obama's original cabinet members.
NPR reports that Holder will be leaving office as soon as his successor is in place, which could take as long as into early next year. Holder is the fourth longest serving AG in U.S. history.
Moments after the NPR story broke, Nancy Pelosi confirmed the report to a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus, eliciting outcries of dismay from those in attendance and protestations like "that is so bad" and "that is a shock."
Holder has been surrounded by controversy during his tenure, including over the Fast and Furious scandal, the failure to prosecute New Black Panthers for voter intimidation, and perhaps the most egregious, the Nixon-esque investigation of members of the press. As the AP reported at the time:

I just can’t look.
Bwwwaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!
So will he reach back to John Ashcroft or ask Mike Lee to replace Eric Holder?
They’re distraught because the new AG might actually have to prosecute some of them for being on the take.
How is it an openly racist caucus is still permitted in Congress?
Translation: they want him gone as a political issue which leads to the loss of the Senate.
The Repugnants left him there this long because he was an issue.
They just had the rug pulled out from underneath them.
The Democrat Lucy just did it to the Republican Charlie Brown again.
I can
Holder’s spawn will be more demented.
The Congressional Racist Caucus
He’s making room for Al Sharpton
That depends on his replacement.
Expect the Senate ‘Pubbies to cave completely to Obama giving him anyone he wants. .
They need to appoint the new AG before the Republicans take the Senate.
The black caucus should be asking
“Why is the white mistress from the ‘big house’ telling us? Do we not warrant being told directly from the first black president that the first black attorney general is stepping down?”
You can bet he’ll stick around through the 2014 elections ... the Democrat-Socialist Party needs him to provide cover for their “poll watchers” (a.k.a., the New Negro Panthers).
Holder out, good riddance to that creep. Now if maybe someone would kidnap him, and press him for the dirt on Obama’s evil deeds so Obama would be forced to resign. This whole administration is tainted and evil.
Goodbye Eric, we hate to see you go. Yeah right. Too bad your next stop is not the Federal Pen at Levinworth.
He can still be tried for high crimes... and should be. Screw Issa, put The NEW AG Trey Gowdy in charge of it.
