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

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.

Of course Holder and the White House couldn't foresee the political consequences. Hubris is a funny thing.

It’ll take more than holder resigning to take the stink Out of this administration.

Yes, Mr. pResident. His political ineptness is the problem.

Not his corruption and abuse of power, or yours.

The African communist and his regime are disappointed only with Holder’s inability to lie effectively.

It's not good for him when Obama is trying to set up the final line of defense in the suburbs of Berlin at the top of the DOJ.

How do you like being on the underside of the bus, Holder? You corrupt criminal should be wearing an orange jumpsuit in the darkest hole of a prison for all the atrocities committed under the Clinton/Obama regimes.

Kind of like folks who obtain pit bulls then act surprised and dismayed when they act like pit bulls - especially after spending so much time siccing them on folks...

Absolutely not.
This pack of Ubama liars and their press know full well that all the African communist has to do is call in Holder and tell him to resign.
Case closed.

This bunch of "leaks" through their New York Times is all part of the game.

I call BS. If “the White House” wanted Holder to resign, Holder would resign.

“Former gov. Employee”? Sounds like Nero doesn’t have the balls to fire him so he gets Rham to “leak” this to their prestitutes at the slimes.

Break out the popcorn.

My wish is the Holder sends back a very public message that reads ‘push it Barry and I do a document dump on fast and furious and benghazi on Monday.’

Watch the two tear each other apart.

The old dem line of BS as if these department heads are out there on their own. They do the president’s bidding and serve at his pleasure.

I’ve said all along that Obama’s white house is full of ideologues who are there whether he wants them or not and he may not be able to force them out without bringing himself down with them.
