BARACK OBAMA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL IS STEPPING DOWN …
By FITSNews || Years after he should have been fired (and probably prosecuted) for his role in the government’s “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is finally stepping down.
On his own terms, though … (as his agency continues to stonewall congressional requests for information related to the 2011 scandal).
Holder – who epitomized government’s overreach under the administration of Barack Obama – will leave his post as soon as a successor is found. Based on the early speculation coming out of Washington, D.C., that’s likely to be either former White House counsel Kathyrn Ruemmler or U.S. solicitor general Donald Verrilli (or California Attorney General Kamala Harris or Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick if Obama decides to look outside the Beltway).
Holder is one of the last three remaining members of Obama’s original cabinet … and if you disagreed with him on anything over the last five-and-a-half years (“Fast and Furious,” Benghazi or his efforts to spy on reporters), it probably just means you’re racist.
In fact shortly after taking office he referred to America as a “nation of cowards” for refusing to talk about racial issues.
Speaking of … reports indicate Holder had been planning to leave his post earlier this year but the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri complicated his timetable. No word yet on how his resignation will impact the ongoing USDOJ investigation of the police shooting that sparked the Ferguson riots.
Politically, there’s speculation Obama may be hoping to get Holder’s replacement nominated prior to the 2014 mid-term elections (in which his Democratic party is expected to lose seats in the U.S. Senate). The problem there? Forcing vulnerable Democrats to vote for a more radical nominee (as opposed to waiting until after the elections to nominate a more moderate choice) puts them in a difficult position with voters.
Our guess? Obama will sneak Holder’s replacement into office during a lame duck session of Congress (i.e. sometime after the November elections but before the new Congress comes to town).
Holder’s insidiousness wasn’t just limited to the crimes – that’s right, crimes – he committed, though. His office also deserves our derision for its sins of omission – like refusing to prosecute officials at the Internal Revenue Service for their ideological persecution of conservatives or failing to so much as investigate a flagrant example of election fraud here in South Carolina.

Good riddance, asshole! Now, let’s see if they can find an even bigger POS to replace him with. What is Jackboot Janet I doing these days?
Any0ne who needs an extra income, I can highly recommend this gig… I worked it for 3 months and it helped me when I was between jobs… I’ve earned $3O00 in 10 days… Now I have a new job so I am not doing it anymore but I can say it’s a great source of extra monthly inc0me. You can check it out here—————————-

WOW! I had no idea that giving blowjobs in an HIV clinic paid so well.
That’s a whole lotta cock to go through. Cheers to you!
Does anybody have some leftover DDT ?

Earning an honest living as an accomplished attorney, most likely, not like Alberto “Fredo” Gonzales, one of the many recidivist criminals of the Bush Crime Family.
“Earning an honest living as an accomplished attorney”
LMAO!

That is Jackboot Janet II. I was speaking of Jackboot Janet I.
It seems that recent Democrat administrations have adopted a policy of hiring butchdykes with a nasty disposition named “Janet” and placing them in positions of importance.
Well I suppose after Waco she felt like she couldn’t accomplish any more in her illustrious career.
Ah yes! That was truly the hallmark of her “career”!
Hell, it took her fifty odd days to overrun that little old compound.
,i>What is Jackboot Janet-I doing these days?,/i>
Heh!
TBG was already going to risk eternal damnation by typing,
“Drooling.” as an answer to your question…
Your photo is in the Webster’s “dumbass” definition. No, wait, perhaps, MO as in MO RON.
Great argument! I’m sure you’re a skilled attorney.
Sounds like a 14 year old mildly retarded honky to me.
Racissssss! Guero, the first price to cry racist, is a racist, how rich.
* person
It never fails.
“Now, let’s see if they can find an even bigger POS to replace him with.”
That’s a tall order…
Yes it is MIke, but I guarantee you there is no shortage of candidates who are more than qualified.
True enough! In keeping with the theme that tax cheats can serve as Secretary of the Treasury, perhaps our next AG should be a convicted felon?
What’s T-Rav doing these days?
That…is…awesome.
In their weird little conspiracy world, I can almost hear the whispers now…Graham is sooooo scared about losing to TR that he will call his close, personal friend (and fellow Muslim) Obama to have him nominate TR. This will rescue LG *and* provide endless hours of entertainment for the masses.
They can send that little prick Myers…
clarification– that’s Donnie Myers
He was neither an asshole or POS.
I’m a bit disappointed in you, CIC.
That is a matter of opinion.
Don’t do it! She’ll boldface you and say you’re full of yourself and therefore aren’t entitled to an opinion! Run!
This will shock you (I know), but many folks disagree with you. He routinely polled lower than even the other members of the cabinet, so it was pretty widely held opinion. Calling America a “country of cowards” didn’t help him with the mainstream much, nor did his disrespectful tirades in the Congress. At any rate, I think it’s fair to say the case could be made that he wasn’t a sweetheart. You shouldn’t be disappointed in folks simply because they disagree with you. I fully respect your right to be wrong as often as you like. ;-)
“This will shock you (I know), but many folks disagree with you”
You think I’m shocked that folks disagree with me? Folks around here? Folks that comment on this forum? And you think I care? LOL
At least be honest about what Attorney General Holder said – he was speaking about racial issues and said “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards,”
Not sure if it helped him with the “mainstream” but I think most thinking people understood the point he was trying to make. Easy to take words out of context to try and score cheap points.
As usual, you’re driving angry…simmer down. There’s nothing out of context in that quote. Who needs the entire paragraph to know that “a nation of cowards” is meant in the pejorative sense. I sure don’t, and I’m a “thinking person.” Surely you can admit that in even in the light most favorable to him, Holder was a divisive figure. Meh, probably not…
LOL I’m not angry at all. There is everything out of context in that quote but you’ll never, ever, ever admit it – because Mike is never wrong and Mike is too full of himself – always. Have a pleasant evening, Mike.
You’re a hoot. An angry little hoot, but a hoot nonetheless.
If you care so little why not go piss up a rope and find somewhere else to lay your liberal turdology.
So glad he is going! He was asked to leave so many times and like so many of his type they do not listen well.
Yeah, ‘his type’: Black and far more accomplished in his profession than you’ll ever be at Wendys
I think by “his type” he meant entitled assholes that think they are above the law.
…his type
Uppity West Indians?
I’ve got some boxes can I come help you pack?
Next up for Holder – the US Supreme Court.
Never in a million years – not even the most liberal of our SCOTUS members would allow that to happen.
I hope you are correct, I surely do.
Black arm bands at FITS and the Sheheen Campaign.
I’m curious where you get that … this website has done nothing but rip Eric Holder for the last five years, and the above article continues in that vein.
Will, don’t confuse him. Logic is not his strong point.
I’m curious where you get that …
1) Ignore most of what is posted.
2) Fill in the blanks with your imagination.
3) ??????
4) blahblahblah Liberal-Tarians blahblahblah your god-Obama blahblahblah please, someone, anyone, read my blog!
“I’m curious where you get that”
Are you also curious as to where the voices in a street walker’s head come from?
It’s time yet again for another rousing game of TANGO. It’s like BINGO just more stupid. Anytime you see a GT/SCPD/Emily etc post fill in your card. First person to get TANGO wins absolutely nothing but will probably laugh pretty hard.

Pre-election 2012, you soft-sold Barack Obama, Holder’s empowerment vehicle. Yet you Ravaged Mitt Romney. Romney was not the BEST, but he was not nearly the disease of Obama or Holder. For that, you should have to account.
Guess what Holder is going to do? He wants to play community agitator between communities and law enforcement. No shit!
Get the riot gear back out. The chickens are coming home to roost!
Has Al Sharpton arrived in Columbia yet?
He really needs to be in North Augusta.
I see what you are saying. The Democrat Party was hoping to use the DOJ to steal elections this fall.
With racist Holder resigning it will be much more difficult for Hussein Obama to declare martial law and postpone the November elections.
My guess is dems are praying for an attack on the homeland so Obama can suspend the elections?Holder is leaving as he sees the annihilation of the Democratic Party this fall.
Ever hear of the New Black Panthers, and voting capacity at 100%-plus, you ignorant Dumb@$$?
Guess your demand for “Voting Rights” is extended only to the small-minded dolts, like you.
“Ever hear of the New Black Panthers…”
Lol! You scared of a couple black guys?
I’m scared of a country of leftists who can break the law and get away w/ it because Bigots like you are OK w/ Racism, if it’s you perpetrating it.
I’m into Justice for ALL that way. And I would likely Bust your smarmy racist @$$ if you tried to violate it.
“OK w/ Racism”
Is that the new Up With People program?
“I’m scared of a country of leftists who can break the law…”
It’s okay if Right-wingers do it!
Exactly! The NBPP has <10 members nationally. Probably half of them are on the FBI payroll as informants. Little Bitty T pot's klavern probably has more members….
On your side. I was being serious. You don’t think the socialist dems are going to give up power without a fight, do ya?
They are trying the “war” thing in the middle east to see if that helps em before going after the American people and the institutions that govern.
Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic. And there are VERY few that are not radical, irrational leftist on this site. Please accept my apology.
That said: if they have the apparatus in place to cheat election wins, why would they not do it again, even w/o Holder. Obama ill just put another Stooge as AG.
The GOP MUST attack the corruption, and PROSECUTE it. They are obligated to the country to stop Democrats from subverting the vote.
Eric Holder Jr. is legally now under arrest….

Wow, someone more disturbed than T-pot….
Bring back Ashkkkroft or Gonzo.
Obama offered to come pack his shit, but he wasn’t talking about the law books he’s never read a day in his life.
The first page he read in law school would be more than you’ve ever read or comprehended.
Rrrrrrright, you’re just mad I made a funny about your Nanny O.
A too close to the truth?
Truth about what? That I’ve never read more than a single page out of a book? Are you fucking retarded?
Touchy about your ignorance, eh? At least you have some self-awareness. My comment stands: Eric Holder is a legal scholar. You probably are the impetus for the Library Association proposed legislation to allow them to eject the homeless.
Presumptuous about others, eh? Eric Holder is a yes man who ambled his way almost to where he is today, then Nanny O did him a solid, they fist bumped and presto he was appointed the first black attorney general.
You liberals can rarely conduct a conversation without lobbing personal attacks. Must be a sad existence.

Library Boy just confirmed his white supremacy beliefs and I personally attacked someone? Shuck and Jive whiteboy is not a pretty sight….
White supremacy, that’s a stretch. Typical of a liberaltard to throw around the racism card. Have a good weekend race baiter.
Caption Contest:
“Now it’s YOUR problem. HaHa!”
“Contempt of Congress case against Holder will proceed” – wash-ton times
Hmmm….
“Judge denies DOJ delay request on release of ‘Fast and Furious’ docs…”
“Contempt Of Congress Case Will Proceed”
I’m sure the timing of Holder’s resignation announcement is pure coincidence.
Tin foil hat time!
Let’s see how dose this go ? Holder leaves, Obummer appoints someone equally or more criminal then Grahamnasty votes for them because “elections have consequences”. It will happen in the lame duck session after Grahamnasty pulls the wool over the eyes of the voters of SC again. Must we keep doing this ?????
Sadly Rogue, I think you called it 100% correctly!
Rouge wouldn’t know how to spell attorney general, much less recognize a qualified candidate. He still thinks Fredo did a good job.
Can you do anything but take jabs at people? You seem like a pretty immature little shitstain.
My response was substantive, unlike yours.
No, you deleted your original post so you didn’t look like a moron.
I’ve never deleted any post. What color is the sky in your world?
You did delete your original post. Stop your bold faced lying.
Rouge wouldn’t know how to spell attorney general,…
PRO TIP:
If you live in a glass house…don’t throw stones.
Rouge is more accurate
I’m sad to see him go. He did a good job and will be a success at whatever he decides to do.
Delusional much?
I look forward to the day that Eric Holder will be on the US supreme court and I can start capitalizing those words again.
I would love to see a former President Barack Obama as chief justice one day, too.
Are you for real?
Two words…. Vaughn index.
He served with distinction – I am sad to see him go.
See the “Kufi” hat mark on Obama’s head in the picture for this article?
Were you born with your mental disorder? Your parents first cousins or closer?
Most libtarded quote of the week.
One thing’s for sure, he carried the water for Obama very well. It wasn’t about the law as much as it was transforming America.
Damn Communist!
Roger Goodell has resigned as NFL commissioner. Eric Holder has agreed to accept the offer as his replacement.
This is the only job where Eric could do more damage than as AJ.
Hey Mr. Holder,
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
This bum should have been kicked out of office years ago. He’s been running interference for Anti-Trust violators on Wall Street as Obama’s front man. Just a sorry Attorney General from Day one.
Just a little FYI about Holder. It’s pretty settled that F&F was not his idea. http://fortune.com/2012/06/27/the-truth-about-the-fast-and-furious-scandal/
