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.

No.

If Holder leaves, he will be replaced with another just like him.

The leader is the only one that matters.

“...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,”

“The White House”? The building wants Holder to resign?

Or does Obama want Holder just to go away, without the requirement for Obama to make a command decision and FIRE the man. Is Obama that wishy-washy? Or is he afraid of setting a precedent by firing the first black attorney general?

If he does, will Holder spill the beans?

Is Holder scheduled to take a group of Chamber of Commerce types or Bar Association members on a flight to the Dubrovnik airport?

let’s see if I have this correct:

in-justist dept - totally politically and for rats
IRS - totally political and for rats
EPA - totally political and for rats
FEC - totally political and for rats
FCC - totally political and for rats
State - totally political and for rats
Homeland in-security - totally political and for rats
Commerce, Education, HHS - totally political and for rats

There is nothing that this government does that is for the people anymore. Nothing it does that is apolitical. It is corrupt and longer able to be made uncorrupt. It is time for a divorce, and freedom loving people should re-form a new constitutional representative government, strengthened from what we have learned from this failure of an experiment.

Once Holder is gone (as will his deputy) there be a new sheriff in town...the bodies might start being discovered around the White House.

If the White House truly wanted Holder to resign, then Obama would simply ask for his letter of resignation. If that letter of resignation were not forthcoming, then Obama could simply fire Holder. Really, it’s that simple.

Obama’s #1 concern is Obama. How will Holder resigning make him look, etc. Everything is political, 2 years of campaigning followed by 8 years of campaigning, vacations, and golf.

BO needs to be impeached and then all the cockroaches that he has on staff will go down the drain with him. Time to clean out.

I think the only thing holding the white house together is criminal complicity.

Its kind of like the mob, make sure everybody is involved in the crime so nobody talks.

The “WH” wants Holder to resign? If only there was someone with the authority to make Holder resign or fire him.

There are two White House camps, the two women(Bitchelle and the Vagrant Valerie) then there is the other camp.

The two women camp win’s 90% of the battles because the Zero is a mamma’s boy.

The leader of the pack is not zero its valjar,she decides who lives who dies who stays who goes.Hard to tell what will happen here.Once again its always a mistake to ignore what goes on in the background.--AMNESTY.

If val/jar can wheel and deal her way into giving up holder in exchange for our(the House) votes on amnesty she will probably do it.

Remember its all always political. They never do anything unless it is politically advantageous.

What does that mean—the White House???? We all know that Obama doesn’t know anything about anything, so how could he even know that Holder has perjured himself before Congress or that he targeted a journalist who was reporting sensitive information that Obama might not have known? It’s all so confusing.

I’d be stunned if he resigned, unless after talking to Obama’s lawyers, he realized he’d have a hit put out on him if he didn’t resign.

Obama is all about Obama, but without Holder, he wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near as far as he has gotten now. Holder is the enforcement arm and I don’t know who else Bambi could get for that job.
