Eric Holder: I might be leaving
“That’s something that I’m in the process now of trying to determine,” Holder said. “I have to think about, can I contribute in a second term?”
Holder says he needs to sit down with his family and President Obama to see if he wants to continue on the job.
“[I have to] really ask myself the question about, do I think there are things that I still want to do? Do I have gas left in the tank? It’s been an interesting and tough four years, so I really just don’t know,” Holder told students.

Prison?

Holder will leave. It will be harder to serve subpoenas on him if he is traveling the world on speaking engagements.

In cuffs?

Gettin’ out while the gettin’ is good.

If there’s one guy I hate more than SCOAMF, it’s Holder. He hates Texas, and he hates voter ID. I’ll feel a lot better about this election if someone less political replaces him.

Perp walk?

See…who said we can’t agree on anything?
CycloneCDB on November 8, 2012 at 1:41 PM
Speculation that if he leaves Kamlaa Harris of California will replace him.

O/T: Has anyone read Amity Shlaes’ “The Forgotten Man?” I heard Dennis Miller mention it in another thread. Is it worth the read and relevant to today?
Donald Draper on November 8, 2012 at 1:42 PM
I told you he will, so he can be pardoned. Otherwise he’ll go to prison.
Schadenfreude on November 8, 2012 at 1:44 PM
If he leaves, his replacement will probably be worse. No need for disguising things now.
a capella on November 8, 2012 at 1:44 PM
fear who comes next

Schadenfreude
Good call

You will be back for the trial…right?
d1carter on November 8, 2012 at 1:45 PM
He wants to be president 2016.

Holder’s leaving to start a green energy company, get a couple billion from the taxpayers then declare bankruptcy six months later.
darwin on November 8, 2012 at 1:46 PM
Oh darn, however will we survive?

Excellent book. Definitely a worthwhile read.

Bugger off, criminal!
SailorMark on November 8, 2012 at 1:48 PM
Thank you. Off to the library…
Donald Draper on November 8, 2012 at 1:49 PM
She’s a social justice whore.
antipc on November 8, 2012 at 1:49 PM
I wish it was for prison.
Moesart on November 8, 2012 at 1:53 PM
The country?
BacaDog on November 8, 2012 at 1:53 PM
We know it won’t be a white guy.
Moesart on November 8, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Some former Seals and Border Patrol should move in next to him when he leaves. Just to keep an eye on him or something..
HotAirian on November 8, 2012 at 1:57 PM
Second vote for “it’s excellent”.
JPeterman on November 8, 2012 at 2:06 PM
Good luck with that.
JeffWeimer on November 8, 2012 at 2:08 PM
Leaving to go back to his law firm which has represented more than a few AQ terrorists?
Sounds about right.
Foreign terrorists have rights too under the constitution. It says so in amendment K9.
CorporatePiggy on November 8, 2012 at 2:17 PM
Also try this one. Same topic.
FDR’s Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression
Highly recommended and very relevant.
visions on November 8, 2012 at 2:17 PM
Holder is not going anywhere, but it would be cool if he did. Dare to dream.
visions on November 8, 2012 at 2:18 PM
I call BS. No way he’ll leave unless the next person is guaranteed to provide the same cover for Obama.
The Rogue Tomato on November 8, 2012 at 2:47 PM
Unfortunately, he won’t be leaving doing the frog march…
phreshone on November 8, 2012 at 3:00 PM
I think she’s lined up for the Supreme Court. Valerie Jarrett said that they have “two lined up, ready to go”.
Van Jones is lined up for AG.
slickwillie2001 on November 8, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Well there are trial baloons.
Then there are trials.
Then there are trial concrete foot ware made in Chicago.
APACHEWHOKNOWS on November 8, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Takes a made man to know one.
APACHEWHOKNOWS on November 8, 2012 at 3:02 PM
yes!!
please!!
i hate him.
Sachiko on November 8, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Just checking: doesn’t he have to be found guilty of something to get a pardon..?
