Eric Holder Is Resigning
And now, for the best news of the day, we go to NPR which reports that Eric "Too Big To Prosecute" Holder is resigning. From NPR:
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.
Holder already is one of the longest serving members of the Obama cabinet and ranks as the fourth longest tenured AG in history. Hundreds of employees waited in lines, stacked three rows deep, for his return in early February 2009 to the Justice Department, where he previously worked as a young corruption prosecutor and as deputy attorney general — the second in command — during the Clinton administration.
But some of that early glow faded in part due to the politicized nature of the job and in part because of Holder's own rhetoric, such as a 2009 Black History Month speech where he said the country was "a nation of cowards" when it comes to discussions about racial tension.
Five years later, violence erupted between police and protesters in Ferguson, Mo., after a white policeman killed an unarmed black 18 year old. And this time, the White House dispatched Holder to speak his piece, in effect jump starting that conversation, and helping to settle nerves in the frayed community.
Another huge controversy — over his decision to try the 9-11 plotters in a New York courthouse in the shadow of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center — prompted venomous reaction from lawmakers, New York City officials and some victim families.
Under pressure that threatened his job and his legacy, the attorney general reversed his decision and instead sent the cases to military court — where they continue to languish even as Osama Bin Laden's son-in-law and other terrorism defendants are serving life sentences in maximum security prisons on American soil.
Holder most wants to be remembered for his record on civil rights: refusing to defend a law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman; suing North Carolina and Texas over voting restrictions that disproportionately affect minorities and the elderly; launching 20 investigations of abuses by local police departments; and using his bully pulpit to lobby Congress to reduce prison sentences for non-violent drug crimes. Many of those sentences disproportionately hurt minority communities.
...
In the end, the decision to leave was Holder's alone — the two sources tell NPR the White House would have been happy to have him stay a full eight years and to avoid what could be a contentious nomination fight for his successor. Holder and President Obama discussed his departure several times and finalized things in a long meeting over Labor Day weekend at the White House.
The attorney general told staff the news at DOJ this morning and has called civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and Ethel Kennedy, the widow of former AG Robert F. Kennedy.
Friends and former colleagues say Holder's made no decisions about his next professional perch, but they say it would be no surprise if he returned to the law firm Covington & Burling, where he spent years representing corporate clients.
The friends say Holder is also considering donating his papers to a university in D.C. or his native New York, where he could establish a civil rights center to work more on law enforcement interactions with communities of color and host public forums on those issues.
But who will no longer not prosecute bankers for the biggest generational and wealth transfer theft is US history?

damn
Klink doesn't pull any punches.....he leaves it all on the field.
Nope, all these fucking scumbags who've been fucking the American people for their own gain for the past 30 years, regardless of party, deserve every painful scourge upon them.
Fire up the Revolving door!
So will it be back to C&B? Perhaps a Federal Reserve Board Seat? Maybe K Street? I'm sure some sort of egotistical memoirs of a politician book deal will be forthcoming in the next several months...
YAY!!! I smiled when I read this!!! One step in the right direction... Hopefully someone will proscute him after he is out of office.
You sound gullible.
Another missed opportunity to empower more blacks to take responsibility for their own predicament.
I guess that walk down the streets of Ferguson scared the shit out of him.
I'll take the job. Show me the cheddar and I'll do a great job of doing nothing and calling everyone a racist.
He wants to lock in that Presidential pardon.
At this rate that pardon is going to look like a phone book.
I can't wait to see the next "sock puppet" AG... Can it get any worse?
This fuck should be behind bars!
I think he realized he was no Jon Corzine....and decided not to push it.
How many of you guys called this...? I'll bet a fair amount. I did too - about 8 months ago. Not the exact date of course, but my radar said this guy wouldn't make through to the end, because he would be hearing the footsteps...
What a shitbag. Look for his golden parachute to open in 3, 2, 1 ...
Stock Market panic as the temporary fear that a real Attorney General might be appointed. Stocks rally in the afternoon upon realization Obama gets to appoint replacement.
Which will be Hillary Clinton. She needs those banker bribes to fund her Presidential campaign.
Rat and sinking ship spring to mind.
party at my house
This is not a good sign fella's... Well, in a way it is because a comeuppance for abject CORRUPTION is Always a good sign, but this resignation - assuming it does go through, could be the crack that preasages the Deluge.
Today is now officially a good day.
Holder was major enforcer of Bank Lobby persecuting Oil Lobby and Koch Brothers
Oil lobby winning by pushing him out, neocons winning, bank lobby losing
Next:
- Jack Lew?
-John Brennan?
It took a military revolt for Holder to resign.
Please please be cancer pretty please! a slow death is warranted.
Wait! Holder, before you go - legalize marijuana. At least get it out of class 1.
Is he following Lanny Breuer back home?
He should at least be indicted by a few states' attorneys general.
Big deal, the next douche will be even worse.
Later Nigga!!
Not that it's the place for the AG to speak in contradiction to the President's remarks about "troops on the ground" which of course is in line with the MIC General(s) at the Pentagram -but this might have contributed to his decision to quit while he's ahead!
Any ideas for the title of his new million dollar book deal???... How 'bout?...
Memoirs from Eric Holder
Why I kept committing Treason with impunity!
O'Bola's next person to wear the Just-Us holster will be even more malicious.
The rats are fleeing the sinking ship....its quite comical.
Real warrior for justice that Holder. Defends Wall St, deflects on Ferguson, and goes after the little guy and champions this as "progress".
Rats are leaving the bilges.... prep harder, brothers!
They forgot about selling weapons to drug cartels.
10 bucks he's gonna work for either Jaime's or Lloyd's "legal" department
He'll be welcomed back to Covington where he will make $800/hr until he retires.
...and bill 300 hours a week.
He has been doing that since he got their....time for a change where the real money is paid out. Maybe start a non-profit liberal organization funded directly by the FED and Wall Street to the tune of billion.....paid annual to him.
The only good news to come out of O's administration since it began.
Any bets on which Wall Street lobbying firm is he going to step into for his next career choice?
I just came in my pants.......FUCK YOU ERIC HOLDER.
We haven't had a real A.G. since Robert Kennedy.
I guess every other potential candidate got the message to not fuck around with organized crime, like Wall Street.
Robert Kennedy was to the Kennedy Clan what Cousin Marilyn was to the Munster Clan.
why the call to Ethel?
what is her importance? connections to Greenwich? symbolic gesture to the Camelot remnants?
Goodbye Asshole!!!
Why would you announce this before the Election (liability). Democrats doing everything to save the party in Nov.
Needless to say take a whiff of the methane that follows this guy out the door...
Will be several others that fall in line with him!
If I were him I'd be exiting the "theater" pronto! Even though we know he's a filthy rat what is perplexing is why it took him so long to make the decision given the crimes he's already committed!
Think it's safe to say somethin' big is comin our way very soon!
This:
take a whiff of the methane that follows this guy out the door...
that's not methane it's sulfur, duh
William, WillIAM, wiLLiam
Now how do I remove THAT from my memory?
What was seen can not be unseen.
He's not resigning, he's getting away. Traitor! Thief! Killer! Crony!
Here's the full list of Wall Street CEOs prosecuted by Attorney General Eric Holder for the financial crisis:
Hang him already
Not unlike his 'brother in arms' (Obozo), EH will go down in history not only as a 'first' racial place-holder (1st AG), but also as the worst (1st) AG this country has yet experienced. It's nothing to do with the color of his skin but the 'content' of his character (of which he is barren).......
Au contraire.
When it comes to this thieving, corrupt black trash, it is ALL about the color of their skin.
Race is the lever, and the ONLY lever, that allowed them to be empowered in the first place.
one of the worst criminals in US history. this scum bag should have been in prison for at least the last 5 years with 50 to follow. this SOB subverted justice for demon rat politics
Lots of globalist criminals heading for the hills. The time is nigh. STFD
The damage this asshole has caused to the DOJ can't be undone.
F Obama.
F Holder. Go practice falling down in traffic.
The check from Corzine must have finally cleared.
Hey Eric Holder, sell me some of those Fast & Furious weapons before you go apply for an EBT card!!!
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.
He doesn't want to stick around for when the SHTF and citizens start going after the people who directly caused our misery and those who stood by and did nothing about it.
Well, bye.
Enjoy your new Goldman Sachs gig shitfuck.
Venezuela must be hiring.
Liberia would be good.
One would have thunk he would have cleaned up the mess in Ferguson before leaving. The MSM has moved on but the rioting and looting is starting again there.
Lateral move to the FTRBA?
Full Time Race Baiters Assn.
NSA got the goods on him?
When he becomes a Civilian, I say we take him out back to the Woodshed and FUCK HIM UP!!!! BADLY!!!
Blanket party
With all the crimes he's committed and gotten away with, what could possibly have made him decide to go now? Whatever it is, it's something that will be covered up forever.
"Great job, Holdy!"
Maybe not sleeping at night for all his lies have gotten to him. Or perhaps ther is something even bigger he is running from ??
This is very bad news. It can only mean that President Golfstix had found somebody even worse to replace him.
In an unexpected move, Obama will name Chelsea Clinton to replace Eric Holder.
Rat leaving the ship?
Rat leaving the ship.
Meet the new boss.
It is all about the upcoming elections. The nomination of a crippled, black dyke commie with a learning disability will be put on hold until after the midterm vote.
Roach Holder is a stone criminal, a traitor and a filthy racist 'Boon. Sharing the guilt are the coward traitors in congress who refused to impeach this bag of sewer rat offal. Hopefully a President Perry or Paul or Cruz will appoint a Special Prosecutor to send this maggot to the colon-stretching Big House for life.
Don't holder your breath on a special prosecutor. I think Perry is a member of the CFR or some other bilderburg group creation
Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen,
thus not eligible to be elected President,
just as Obama was not eligible.
Mr. Gestapo is resigning. WOW
Something big must be developing when a Rat leaves the ship.
Eric. Fucking. Holder.
And the leading reason is:
Maybe he will finally tell the truth about OKC, Fast and Furious, Ferguson and how he porks Oboozo every night with Reggie... Or just be a scumbag Wall street embezzeler like the Obozzo administration always said they were attacking for "income equality"
Excellent story about how lenders (and of course .gov) can disable your car.
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/09/24/miss-a-payment-good-luck-moving-t...
Only to be stuck with a 29% note, mortgage equivalent hospital bill for a nebulizer, plus towing.
...where he spent years representing corporate clients...
and represented them even more effectively as AG.
Proof that good things can still happen.
most useless and worthless piece of shit AG ever ... another proof why affirmative-action should be scrapped.
Fuck off anti-constitutional RAT
Get the country back - vote
Yeah Vote, and behind the scenes they manipulate it to serve their purposes. They destroy whomever has any decency or bent toward "we the people" before the elections begin. The whole system is a sham .
Maybe not this time around - could be enough backlash or momo to get law-biding people into office
What unseen shoe is about to drop?
"ISIS" attacks on US soil, the solution to which involves shredding any remaining rights.
Deal already brokered for Ginsberg to step down, and Obama will nominate Holder to the SCOTUS where he can continue to fk whitey till he goes on to his great reward.
You are right - scare the shit out of me
never thought of this
No way on earth that extra-legal operator could get approved.
Don't see how this can happen.
Even Dem Senate (if there still is one) would choke on confirming someone with "Contempt of Congress" on their resume.
Holder wants to be remembered for civil rights?
That's like Hitler wanting to be remembered for cultural and religious tolerance.
Holder believes that he can pick and choose the laws he likes, and refuse to enforce the laws he does not like.
Holder turned America into a nation of men, not laws.
I thought nobody could be worse than that greasy stain on the Constitution Alberto Gonzales, but I was so incredibly wrong.
Ya those minorities are just sucking up the corruption, they are thinking "we finally got ours, lets rape the place"
Check out Ruth Bader Ginsberg of the supposedly impartial-and-above-politics SCOTUS. She plans to stay on, cryogenically preserved if needs be, to forestall a 'conservative' nominee.
In a surprise Obama names michele
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....or was he afraid of being locked up?
Get it? I was pretending we still lived in a country where high ranking government officials and their cronies have to obey the laws of the land.
This is the sad truth about this. To the people, it should make difference no who holds what office. None of them have any authority or power over the rights of the people, yet most Americans allow them to. This changes nothing. If we as Americans think it matters who holds that office, then the sad truth is, it will.
The Constitutional Crisis beyond our imaginations is now on it's way.
Well let me be the first to say.....Aluah Akbar! (Did I spell that correctly? I couldn't give a s*&t.)
Is he resigning or was he resigned? At least he has been suicided with a staple gun - yet.
Let's start on office pool. His little buddy, Lanny Breuer, got $4 million a year back with his old law firm. What will be the wages of Holder's sins? Probably much less expensive to staplize him. How much dirt does he have on Hillary?
Sunny day in America.
Office pool #2. Who will replace? Valerie Jarret?
Query for the board. Does Obama have enough time to get his nominee through the Senate before November? I don't think so. The Pubs would probably agree to approve ObamaGration first.
(I just made that up. ObamaGration. Get it? Obama Immigration...ObamaGration. I am pleased with myself. I could probably get a job with the Washington Post now.)
How much dirt does he have on Hillary?
How much dirt does he have on everyone that matters?
Statute of Limitations have lapsed for Wall Street Felons Hank Paulson and Timmy Geithner?
Not for Corzine.
In fact, DOJ has not formally announced a position on Corzine. Only some unnamed soure said that the prosecution wasn't going forward. I called DOJ some time ago and was told that they couldn't tell me anything until DOJ had taken a position. Catch-22. I am pestering my CongressPuke to ask DOJ to write him announcing its position. Am not holding my breath.
I am not attorney, buty if you read the civil compaliant against Corzine, I think you would agree that half of citations are criminally prosecutable. All Holder had to do was indict everybody, and the rats would start squealing. There was an email stating that the securities had to be returned by Sunday might - or some such. Complete awareness that they were answering a marginal call with client assets - aka stealing. Should have been an easy score for Holder. And he couldn't use the system failure excuse since MF had already gone tits-up.
F U Eric.
Holder will be Obama's caddy....and he can wash Barry's club head and balls more often....
Hate to sound like a racist redneck prick (maybe I am, who knows), but it seems to me that this country became really fucked up right after we got out first black POTUS and totally fucked up after the first black AG. If anything, this should be a wake up call to all blacks who still support this joke of an administration simply because of the skin color of the person in charge. To me that is the true definition of racism. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear we have gone down a path of destruction from which we cannot turn.
No they're just socialists who happen to be black. Their color has nothing to do with it. You think things would have been different if we had Hillary?
No, I don't. That wasn't really my point anyway. I just think many people (especially blacks) voted for him simply because of the color of his skin, completely ignoring his lack of competency. Then, they collectively patted themselves on the back, congratulating themselves for what a great thing they had just done, while turning a blind eye at one failed policy after another. Blacks continue to support him simply because he's one of "them", whites support him because they don't want to be hit with the "R" word. Sad!
No, hate to say it but because of the extremes of the fraud you are just waking up.We have been on an ever accelerating path of slavery and control that even the Libs. can see.
Here's a simple and irrefutable fact: Blacks fuck up everything they touch. It really is as simple as that.
If Valerie Jarret is nominated, do we vote from the rooftops?
He's had a lot of practice with retirement.
I would'nt piss up his ass if his guts were on fire.
Get the bucket brigade. My crocodile tears are about to start a flood. Boo Hoo!
I hope he's resigning because he has incurable cancer of the brain, lungs and penis.
Saying that, his retirement should be an easy transition, given that he's quite used to not doing his job. Bring on his replacement, an inanimate carbon rod!
Senior rat jumping ship.
Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, GOODBYE!!! and good riddance!
I just have to jump in
... Holder has been a complete utter failure. He has a perverted sense of justice such that injustice becomes justice.
... May the IRS investigate him and take every cent away from this traitor. Ohhh for some poetic justice ... true justice.
RuPaul!
RuPaul!
RuPaul!
He will be the next nomination to the SCOTUS, if a spot comes up..Hope he croaks first.
Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out bitch! Run rat run....
Now, who is next in line to preside over that rat infested mess?
Hmmm... got to wonder what statute of limitations expired this week relating to the Attorney General.
http://tradewithdave.com/?p=21995
Fuck you Holder! And just to get it out of the way, fuck your replacement too! We know he/she will be just another useless steaming pile of shit since that's the only catagory Obola chooses from.
1st: YAY!
2nd: YAY!
3rd: I shudder to think what shitbag is going to replace this waste of life.
You can't replace somethng you never had to start with.
"tenure marked by civil rights advances"
??!??!??!??!??!??!??!??!??!??!??!
Ah. The end game commenceth.
Saddle up kids! Shit's fixin' to get unholierer.
"The nations first black ____________"
That is how this president's legacy will be known, and by nothing else.
It will not be known for all the crap, corruption and scandals, as the progressives and libs who voted him in will never admit the errors of their ways. No future president, or congress, will be allowed to point to these 8 years and place any blame whats-so-ever, even if 200% warranted. To do so will evoke charges of racism, hate, etc.
These guys, Holder & Obama, will go down as the nation's first black _______ , and galantly attempted to right this country's racial bias, and these years will only serve as 'proof that this country is as racist as ever before', will be leverage for future progessive movements, laws, regulations, etc.
"The nations first black ____________" = Obama's legacy.
That' very true. The first black Surgeon General takes the biscuit though. http://irishsavant.blogspot.ie/2009/12/new-surgeon-general.html
They'll just replace him with another scumbag.
Scumbag out, scumbag in.
An American, not US subject.
"Mr. Holder, your guillotine will see you now."
Off to some exceptionally high paying Hedge Fund, Think Tank or high powered law firm.
This guy will benefit big time for having served as BO's, Valarie Jarrett, etc., cover.
Good, good riddance, another racist at the helm
I despise this man so much I filed a Misconduct Complaint with the AG's IG Department over the IRS scandal and his lack of action thereon.
They referred the case to, get this, the Treasury Depts IG for Tax Administration.
What, Treasury is gonna investigate Holder? I thought thats what the AG IG is for? Even the woman from Treasury that called me had no idea why it was referred to her.
Not giving up. This POS should be hounded to the gates of hell.
That's hilarious.
"I filed a Misconduct Complaint with the AG's IG Department over the IRS scandal and his lack of action thereon."
You are now officially a "terrorist." No flying for you in the future and please report to Room 101 for lessons in the true sum of 2 + 2.
An American,not US subject.
Racist, grossly corrupt and incompetent. Good riddance. Now can he be prosecuted for Fast & Furious?
i stil find it REMARKEALBE THAT ALL YOU FUCKING MORONS THINK THAT HIS REPLACEMENT COULD POSSIBLY BE AN IMPROVEMENT.
YOU ZH FUCKERS ARE LIKE 17 YEAR OLD ANARCHISTS IN HIGH SCHOOL TEENAGE YEARS.
YOU'RE ALL " THE WORLD IS FUCKED UP , FUCK YOU WORLD"---BUT YOU NEVER THINK ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT.
NPR must now toe the line or face a funding cut-off, comrade.
Hold this.
Holder, you fucking piece of shit.
what's this crooks address?
This clears the way for Obomba to announce Holder's replacement, a staunch supporter of transparency who has tirelessly fought for Truth, Justice and The Common Man, The Honorable Jon Corzine...
What are the odds Obama appoints a white guy to replace Holder? Maybe high single digits?
Wow... I wonder who will replace him... Darth Vadar?
Well now....I guess Ruth Joan Bader Ginsburg an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States can now retire knowing who will replace her.........ouch!!!
