The timing on this move is, to say the least, curious. One of the last three members of Barack Obama’s original Cabinet will announce his resignation today, according to multiple sources talking with NPR. Eric Holder will step down as soon as his replacement can be confirmed — and that may be quite a fight:
Eric Holder Jr., the nation’s first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.
Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly “adamant” about his desire to leave soon for fear he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama’s second term.
As Noah Rothman mentioned on Twitter, Holder has stuck around longer than most AGs in two-term presidencies, and only Arne Duncan and Tom Vilsack have served the entirety of Obama’s presidency on the Cabinet. Holder has been a lightning rod for controversy and scandal, especially in his fight to keep ATF and DoJ communications regarding Operation Fast and Furious from Congressional oversight. Holder still has an outstanding contempt citation and is still fighting in court to keep those documents under a highly-suspect claim of executive privilege.

Now prosecute him.

He should be afraid if we gain control of the $inate and expand our control of the house.

Is that EVER NOT the case?
I think they can git mo hardened criminals to apply for the job right here in this country.
Don’t celebrate, they are capable of finding someone even worse.

I have actually seen worse and yes, you can be a blithering idiot and hold down a job writing. The job title is writer, not writer of something that makes sense and is worth reading.
It’s possible, maybe they are going for the guy that just cut off the woman’s head in Oklahoma, he is expected to recover from being shot.
