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.

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.

Mike at the Beach September 25, 2014 at 9:56 pm

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…

SCBlues September 25, 2014 at 10:04 pm

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.
