HOLDER OUT: Pelosi Informs Distraught Congressional Black Caucus [VIDEO]
Truth Revolt ^ | 9/25/2014 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 09/25/2014 10:00:33 AM PDT by absentee

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:

Since they look so much alike it’s easy to see how you confused Holder and Janet Reno. But Elian was the dirty work of Reno, not Holder.

Better confiscate Holder’s passport. He’s a flight risk.

Ya know...the wife kept telling me that the trash needed to be taken out; it was quite “ripe”.

Did ValJar say the same to Obamugabe?

Hell, given the recent CV of AGs lately, Cletus is available.

Who wants to start a campaign on my behalf?

I agree. Since when does Obozo appoint anyone who is an improvement over the previous clown that was there before?

Don’t worry, Hussein will nominate someone just as hideous or worse and the Senate GOP won’t even attempt to block it.

So, what's this going to do to the "ongoing" investigation into the Ferguson MO police department and the vaunted Michael Brown shooting?

My guess is the grand jury has already signaled they're not going to indict the officer involved in the shooting and the Eric Holder "in-Justice Department" is about to suffer yet another humiliating defeat.

Also -- anyone know if Congress has the same subpoena power over Eric Holder "private citizen" vs. Eric Holder head of DOJ?

Holder belongs in prison, IMO. I wonder if he's resigning to escape scrutiny/prosecution himself? And if so, who on the Republican side of the aisle made that deal???

Here, let me construct this for Senator Ted Cruz...

Mr Chairman. I rise to to propose an amendment to the current “advise and consent” action before this august body.

Mr. Chairman, I propose to strike the current appointee (NAME?) and insert the name of Trey Gowdy, US Representative from the great State of South Carolina for approval to the Office of United States Attorney General.

Mr. Chairman, his record as prosecutor ^^prior to being elected to the House^^ speaks for itself in this regard.

When Eric Holder goes in front of the TV cameras and gives his I Got Kicked Out speech, this is what he’s going to say (in so many words): “I could no longer work with the racists Republicans in Congress. They hate me because I’m black.” Even though he isn’t. Not even close.

After she left the meeting, she boarded her broom, and proceeded to sky-write this phrase over Washington, DC:
"SURRENDER TED CRUZ"
