NYT: White House Wants Holder to Resign
Newsmax ^ | 6/2/2013 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 06/02/2013 2:11:14 PM PDT by ImJustAnotherOkie

Presidential aides are privately admitting to a growing frustration inside the White House with Attorney General Eric Holder’s political ineptness in the press leak investigations and are hoping the embattled appointee will resign from office, The New York Times reports.

“The White House is apoplectic about him, and has been for a long time,” said an anonymous Democrat source, identified only as a former government employee who acknowledged the White House staffers in question are his friends.

President Barack Obama’s advisers are frustrated with Holder’s inability to foresee problems arising from his approval of a subpoena naming a Fox News reporter as a coconspirator in an espionage investigation. Now Congress is looking at whether Holder lied under oath when he testified last month that he knew nothing about the incident.

That’s a really good analogy. The only one worth protecting is zero since he holds all the power in name only. The entire sequence was set up almost flawlessly.

Repubs need to threaten jail to Doug Shulman and Lois Lerner. They gotta sing sooner or later. Or squeeze the balls of those just under them until they rat their bosses out.

Capone went down on a tax charge.... no way these underlings are spotless in their personal lives.

It’s just that the GOP will protect rather than prosecute.

I have thought for some time now that we are dealing with something much, much worse than we may realize.

I don't think there is going to be any easy solution to this, and I hope that I am wrong.

A little more than that....They want to quiet down the crowd. Don't forget, Holder is already in contempt of Congress over Fast and Furious.

Add his actions and his lies, and the guy might just wind up in jail.

Spin as they will, the Dems are getting clobbered.

He's going to leave before someone issues some charges. He'll work a deal just like he did for Bubba...."I'll leave but you can't prosecute me for anything that occurred during my tenure".

Mr. Holder...Sign here......

It may have the unintended consequence of putting blood in the water however.

It would be delightful to see Holder cut loose. He'd be mad as hell at the administration, but more importantly, he'd be vulnerable. A little heat from Issa, an indictment, or lawsuit and he'd strike back the people who put him in his predicament.

It would be ecstasy to watch him burn; it would be even better to watch him turn on his betrayers.

But, Valjar knows this.So does 'bam.

No at first nothing will change, the Zero is not going to appoint some law and order type.

I think Holder’s trump card is he knows an awful lot of secrets. It will take some time for those secrets to bubble up again and the question is will the next AG be as good at ‘Wack A Mole’?

It wouldn’t be victory.

Agreed. The point is to keep the usurpers on the ropes. Obama cannot be impeached and removed. So, the next best thing is to take out his minions and discredit Obama at every turn. Freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.

Holder has his job for as long as he wants it, period. He will go only if it is politically viable for the Regime, and for no other reason.

Holder was talking about quitting before the last election. So what if he walks away now? The Democrats will cry crocodile tears and say the Republicans are mean, but does that hurt him, his bosses or the party? Nope. Letting him walk away condones his awful behavior. That would just give us more Holders. I’m waiting to see if you can commit crime in this country and just walk away. If you can, there won’t be a Democrat with any front teeth left in this country.

I may be naive but I really don't see much jeopardy for irs employees. What do you accuse them of doing? Making life miserable for taxpayers,its what they do. Did they get out of line.Yeah,waaayout. But,they only followed instructions and we will never know who gave the orders especially if a special prosecutor is brought in which looks likely to me. In the end it will be Benghazi all over again We must find out who did this so we can make sure it never happens again(sound familiar):translation no jeopardy here,nothing to worry about.

I only wish you were not right,but you are.
This entire spectacle was well thought out for years, well planned well executed and has a disastrous ending which we are living right now.

Holder will resign when Obama finds somebody sleazy enough to participate in his schemes like Holder does. Someone who is corrupt to his eyeballs but can still get confirmed by Congress (no big deal apparently). Someone who can help carry on this regimes criminality.

Everyone here knows it, I'm just saying it:

Monkeys will fly out of your arse, in formation, singing the "Horst Wessel Lied", before anyone in the Obamanation sees justice.

That would just give us more Holders.

I only wish I knew just how many we actually have now. all the pieces to this puzzle are interchangeable except for zero,he's the hardest to replace. But its still doable.
