Report: Holder staying on as Attorney General
President Obama is holding on to Eric Holder as the nation’s top law-enforcement official, The Post has learned.
The newly re-elected president asked his controversial attorney general to stay for the second term, and Holder has agreed despite enduring a firestorm of criticism from Republican lawmakers.
“I don’t know if everyone in the White House wants him [Holder] to stay, but the important guy does, and that’s all that matters,” said one person briefed on the matter.

Of course.

They must not have been able to find someone — even among Democrats — who was so morally corrupt that he’d take the job and agree not to prosecute Holder. Holder is literally the only person in the world willing to not prosecute Holder.

Naturally. How do you cover up your crap if your cover up guy goes away?

Doubling down on Holder, and doubling down on Rice.

That’s what I was going to say. He has to keep as many human shields as possible because they are falling one by one on the foreign policy side.

No surprise here. Holder turned his head to election fraud last time around and he’ll do it again this time around.

Great, another four years of the top law enforcement official of the United States being as incompetent as the number two law enforcement official in Mayberry.

At least Barney Fife’s heart was in the right place and had similar values to most Americans.

I hate this administration so much.

I guess he had some fuel left in his tank after all.

Someone has to bury the skeletons.

Great news! I’d much rather see him forced to resign.
