But Department of Justice will remain corrupt.
Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce Thursday that he is leaving the Obama administration, a Justice Department official confirmed to Fox News.
The official said Holder has agreed to stay on the job until his successor is confirmed.
The departure would cap a tumultuous six-year term for the nation's top law enforcement official.

This should be interesting. Why is he leaving I wonder. We'll never get the real truth anyway. He probably didn't prosecute enough Republicans.

Well it's certainly not because his conscience is bothering him.

Taking bets on who's replacing him. I'm going with Mumia. Maybe Farrakhan?

Deval Patrick or bring back Janet Napolitano?

You know, it might be so the new head can destroy all incriminating evidence against Obama and Holder. The old "my computer crashed" meme has about run it's course. They need a new source of destruction so they will farm it out to someone new. It would look bad/worse if Holder did it himself.
-
This move is perfectly timed. If the senate recesses to allow members to go back to their states and campaign, Obama can name whoever he wants.

But, the replacement is in the slot only until the new Congress sits . . . January 3rd, 2015.

Technically, they are only to be in position until the end of the next session of congress, not until the next congress is seated. However, Harry Reid did implement the nuclear option and a new AG could be confirmed with a simple majority, I think.

I'm sure there will be a few threads that will blame racism and how the repugs and teabaggers just can't stand that a black man is the AG.

The NPR report I read said the Solicitor General...Virelli...the one who stumble ****ed his way through defending Obamacare is at the top of the list to replace Eric the Red.
Now...here's something that should terrify everyone...Obama has openly hinted before that Ruth Buzzy...errr...Ginsberg needs to retire...I can see him replacing her with Holder.

Six years too late, but we'll take it. Holder is a racist.
Now what kook will Dear Leader install next?

If true, we can only imagine the kind of anti-American racist nut will be the next AG

There was a recent interview with Bader Ginsberg said that she doesn't think Obama could get someone as liberal as her through the senate, so she isn't going to retire.
“If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court,†the oldest member of the high court said. “[A]nybody who thinks that if I step down, Obama could appoint someone like me, they’re misguided,†later adding that she can “do the job full steam.â€

shows the sad state our judicial system has devolved into. It's no longer filling the justice seats with qualified and competent judges who are impartial before the facts, but has become a contest to see which side can stack the deck in their favor the most.

Didn't the left start that back when FDR tried to pack the court? Conservatives just want the Constitution followed, but the left wants the courts to amend the meaning of the constitution to suit them.

So is steeping down similar to steeping tea?

Latino groups say there are many Hispanics qualified to take over for Eric Holder
http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politics/2014/09/25/latino-groups-say-there-are-many-hispanics-qualified-to-take-over-for-eric/
The announcement that United States Attorney General Eric Holder will resign from his post after nearly six years on the job has Latino rights groups offering up a number of qualified Hispanics to fill the soon-to-be-vacated spot.
“Under Eric Holder’s leadership the Department of Justice has put in a strong commitment to Latino voting rights,†Rosalind Gold, Director of Policy, Research and Advocacy at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials told Fox News Latino. “Whoever the administration chooses [to replace him], we hope that they look at the pool of talented Latinos and that whoever he or she is has the same commitment to voting rights that Holder had.â€
While controversial in many quarters, Holder gets high marks among Latino groups as attorney general for protecting voting rights to reworking mandatory federal sentencing policies to meeting with leaders throughout the hemisphere to addressing the issue of the international drug trade.
Let's see how this pans out.

SOB deserves to be doing many years of hard time for obstruction of justice. I'm sure Obozo will search long and hard to find someone even worse to nominate, though.

No doubt there is someone waiting in the wings long before this "resignation" was announced.

Obama might nominate a Hispanic just to appease Latinos since he backtracked on his pledge to take unilateral action on immigration.

IF that's the case...then expect to see the former Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ's Civil Rights Division
now Labor Secretary Thomas Perez get the nomination.
He's every bit as radical as Holder and Obama.

can we go back to the days when people were hired for their qualifications to do the actual job and not on how they look, or which restroom they use, or which gender they sleep with?

The DoJ has always been political, but Holder took it to a level not seen since Nixon. He used the law to attack anyone and everyone who dared to question the Supreme Leader. Not to mention he covered up and refused to investigate anything that might possibly damage the Supreme leader.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
-
sadly, I am of the opinion that this is not a good thing. do you honestly think Obama won't replace him with someone as bad as Holder was if not worse? Sometimes it's 'better the devil you know, then the devil you don't'.

Janet Napolitano, the former Homeland Security secretary who now leads the University of California system, has long expressed a desire to run the Justice Department.

Ginsburg to Egyptians: I wouldn't use U.S. Constitution as a model

Yeah, we need another justice who doesn't follow the constitution.

That particular piece of advice is not necessarily bad, applied to a country with armed, large, hostile factions and absolutely no living memory of a tradition of democracy. Not that I'm saying this was the reason she was offering that advice.

Holder became a multimillionaire when he grafted an pardon for Marc Rich. I wouldn't be a bit surprised that a big part of the consideration for him accepting the job as AG came with the attitude that he could put himself in an even better position to line his pockets with some even more lucrative pardons. His resignation may have a lot to do with the discovery that such plans were not in the cards for owebuma to sell Holder any more of like type pardons.
