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:

To avoid prosecution he’ll need to run for office or get appointed to the Supreme Court.

Neither of those would avoid prosecution.....................

Pelousy is co-chair, with Jackson-Lee of the new Congressional DENSA (opposite of MENSA) Caucus.

In a feature story for the New Yorker - Feb 17, 2014, Holder told Jeffrey Toobin that he would leave his post in 2014 but would stay 'well into the year'.

The next AG appointment will be either Hispanic or homosexual. That is my prediction.Most cynical prediction: either Lois Lerner or John Koskinen.

Holder was the worst, most politically corrup Attorney General in history from his failure to prosecute the IRS— THe Black Panther intimadators at the voting place. his contempt of Congress. Fast and furious cover up. It just goes on and on. He should be disbarred as blatantly in conflicts of interest and he will go dowm an a terrible corrupt political hack.

I suspect that he will take an extended vacation some place where there is no extradition.

It wasn’t until you put Ashcroft’s name next to Holder’s that I got a whiff of the gulf between those two people.

Funny how you never hear about Ashcroft anymore.

Crap. It just occurred to me, Ruth Buzzie is going to be killed off and Hussein will put Holder on the S.C. to replace her.

Yep, that would explain his departure.

It is imperative the AG for President Ted Cruz prosecutes the team Obama felonies committed against the American sovereign, . . . us.

Expect the Senate ‘Pubbies to cave completely to Obama giving him anyone he wants.

Orin Hatch said a President is entitled to his appointments.

Where are we going to find a black crossing transvestite married to wise Latino to replace him. We all know if we object to that we are racist, sexist, homophobia and
