Eric Holder To Step Down As Attorney General

Holder will regret his refusal to obey the Constitution

September 25, 2014

 

The nation can wave goodbye to Attorney General Holder with relief, as to a bad house-guest who almost burned down the house during his unwelcome stay. His political missteps were legion, and his choices on law enforcement policy revealed a stunning combination of ideology and incompetence. He called for the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other al Qaeda leaders in downtown New York City, for example, which showed a failure to understand our war on terrorism. He accused Americans of being a nation of cowards on race while dropping prosecutions of voter intimidation in Philadelphia. He made a terrible error of judgment on sending guns that ended up in Mexico and then made the mistake of stonewalling Congress’s effort to investigate — leading to the unprecedented citation for contempt of a sitting attorney general.

 

But worst of all was not Holder’s political or prosecution choices, but his refusal to obey the Constitution.......(Snip)

 

Holder and his supporters, who know these decisions violate the Constitution but kept silent because of their partisan support for Obama, will rue their abuse of presidential power. Future presidents will be able to change tax rates or refuse to prosecute political supporters under these theories. Future conservative presidents may use the same claim to start dismantling the overgrown welfare state without the assent of Congress. We happily see Holder go, but he will have more regret not just looking back at the controversies that wracked the Department of Justice under his care, but when he ponders the future when conservative AGs turn his precedents against the bloated welfare state that he loves.

This is the most incredible opinion I’ve seen on this website. We have the piece of scum John “Torquemada” Yoo describe the constitutional failures of another.

 

How about we have a rule: Yoo can only comment on those who have had more people tortured than he has.

 

Shut up Yoo; you are an embarrassment to humanity and to America.

Ignore them. Then find a trick that works for you to completely put them out of your mind. Not easy.

Ignoring them is about the only thing to do, it's so hard to give someone a 'dirty look' on line

Yoy're much nicer than I (he said setting the bar as low as possible)...I'm thinking more in terms of ball peen hammers....baseball bats, rather than your fine suggestions, but you see

 

 

I really don't mind that there are....people(?) like Bud Mor out there....all I ask is they not share...quite so much.

I had to learn to ignore and put them out of my mind after getting active on Facebook. Then my daughter showed me how I could block their posts. Much better.

Race to replace Holder: Attorney general the job no one wants?

Benjamin Goad and Justin Sink

09/27/14

 

The White House faces a bruising battle on Capitol Hill to confirm a successor to Attorney General Eric Holder.

But first, it may face an even higher hurdle: finding someone who wants the job.

 

Several potential candidates have already made it clear that they do not want to be considered for the high profile but politically treacherous Cabinet slot.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D), Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and California Attorney General Kamala Harris each bowed out of the running within hours of Holders announced resignation Thursday all saying they were committed to their current jobs.

Several other names are swirling around Washingtons rumor mill, but experts say any would-be successor especially those with higher political aspirations may have serious reservations about taking the Justice Departments helm at the tail end of Obamas presidency.

 

The attorney general tends to get, by virtue of the office, caught up in very controversial decisions, actions and activities, said Brookings Institution fellow John Hudak. Somebody who has real ambitions down the road would like to avoid having to make decisions that are unpopular with a part of the population down the road, or carrying water for the president for a choice that isn't to their advantage.

Holder Is Staying One Step Ahead of the Burning Bridge http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/09/26/holder-staying-one-step-ahead-burning-bridge/

 

 

 

 

For months, my sources have told me that Obama will not serve out his entire second term if he does not eradicate the Syrian/Iranian threat to the Federal Reserve’s petrodollar.

Inside sources state that Obama will be impeached and convicted for high crimes and possibly even treason. Former Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been with Obama every step of the way. Simply put, if Holder stays, he goes to jail, and he knows it.

The fallback plan is for Holder to resign, take the blame for no less than five scandals and then have Obama pardon him before Holder can be prosecuted. With Holder taking the fall for the major scandals of the Obama administration, the trail of criminality ends with Holder’s resignation. This is Obama’s way of staying one step ahead of the burning bridge.

The Facilitation of Criminal Banking

I have interviewed for HSBC Vice-President, John Cruz, as he has detailed how he attempted to inform federal authorities about the criminal money laundering organization present at his bank. Included in the notification of Federal sources was none other than Eric Holder.

When HSBC’s criminal money laundering scheme, on behalf of the Sinoloa drug cartel became common knowledge, Holder excused his passive support by saying that the economy would have suffered if HSBC had been taken down.

Too Big to Fail

When Wall Street played the Ponzi scheme game known as credit-swap derivatives, and broke a multitude of SEC laws, Holder refused to even investigate if major investment firms such as Goldman Sachs had broken the law.

When the bail out money was distributed to the favorite sons (e.g. Goldman Sachs), frequently Wall Street rivals of these most favored corporations were not similarly bailed out (e.g. Shearson Lehman) and these corporations went subsequently went broke in this blatant federal scheme of favoritism being played with the People’s money.

When the bailout money was paid to cronies in European banks, Holder, again, was, again, nowhere to be found.

Whistleblowers Purged

Holder has done more to prosecute and stifle whistle-blowing than any other government official, both past and present, as he has made a career out of prosecuting these heroes.

Even the globalist mouthpiece, the New York Times strongly rebuked Holder for spying on journalists and threatening to arrest other journalists for investigating the Obama administration. Let’s not forget that Hastings, Breitbart and Clancy died under very mysterious circumstances under Holder’s watch.

Fast and Furious

Who will ever forget when CBS released documents that implicated Holder, who used the BATF as he tried to undermine the Second Amendment, by shipping guns into Mexico and hoping that that the worst would happen and the fatalities would be blamed on the Second Amendment. However, the worst did happen, but not in the form desired by Holder as Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry, was killed with one of these guns. Instead of getting the desired result, Holder drew the ire of the American people, at least those who are awake. Make no mistake about it, this was a gun control agenda.

Do we remember when this “guardian” of the nation’s laws publicly stated that our society should brainwash children to support gun control? Holder further broke the law when he refused to release critical “Fast and Furious” documents as he indicated that Obama was above the law due to executive privilege. The crime is called obstruction of justice.

Other High Crimes

No discussion of Holder’s overt complicity to murder would be complete without a mention of Holder’s letter in which he says that Obama has the legal authority to murder U.S. citizens based upon his say so.

Holder has hidden behind his race as he has also played the race card in reverse as claimed that he was victim of intense scrutiny because of his skin color.

Holder also refused to prosecute even though has been clearly demonstrated that the IRS spied upon enemies of the Obama administration and the IRS also has withheld evidence to this fact and Holder has done nothing to force IRS officials to comply with the law and with a subsequent Congressional investigation.

Obfuscating the Truth at Benghazi

Hillary Clinton refuses to provide Ambassador Chris Stevens with more protection just days before being asked to do so by the Ambassador himself. Clinton refused to fully cooperate with a probe over her role at Benghazi. Holder refused to investigate.

Amidst reports that Obama, Clinton and other senior White House officials watched Stevens die on video from a drone, and at the same time, a military rescue operation to rescue Stevens was thwarted by arresting the AFRICOM commander at the time, General Hamm, Holder refused to investigate.

Isn’t this similar to what Richard Nixon did when he refused to come clean about the Watergate burglary and instead covered it up? What is the difference between Nixon, who was forced to resign, and Holder’s actions at Benghazi?

The only difference between Holder and Nixon is that Nixon did not use the IRS to harass political enemies, spy on journalists and cover up crimes of money laundering and murder.

Why is Holder walking the streets as a free man?

Word On the Street

The word on the street is strongly suggestive of the fact that Holder is avoiding going to jail by resigning and at a later time, if need be, will be pardoned by Obama (and we thought Watergate could never happen again).

With Clinton and Holder both gone, Obama has to be feeling the pressure because the “Johnny-Come-Lately”, former presidential candidate, Secretary of State, John Kerry, wants Obama’s job and Kerry is clean on these aforementioned scandals due to his late arrival.

Multiple inside sources have told me that the Federal Reserve will force Obama from office if he is unsuccessful in occupying Syria and then invading Iran as a means to save the Petrodollar from the BRICS and their scheme to destroy the dollar by getting Iran and now, Saudi Arabia, to not accept the dollar as payment for oil. This would spell doom for the Federal Reserve.

The “People’s Lawyer” is a Criminal

Cliff Kincaid — September 29, 2014

In a sympathetic profile just before his resignation, Politico said Eric Holder’s biggest legacy may be “his quiet dismantling of the War on Drugs…” How he could have “accomplished” this without legislative authority from Congress—which is supposed to make and pass laws—is never really explained. He was an Attorney General described by President Barack Obama as “the people’s lawyer.” Anybody familiar with Marxist jargon knew exactly what Obama meant.

 

At home and abroad, the Obama administration distributed weapons to America’s enemies. Holder’s area of expertise was facilitating weapons shipments to Mexican drug cartels, in a scandal that came to be known as “Fast & Furious.”

Holder As a SCOTUS Justice?:
It Is Scary & It Is Plausible

FRANK SALVATO
With the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder, unquestionably the most activist – and most divisive – attorney general in the history of the country, everyone seems fixated on who will replace him, and rightly so. The position of nation's "top cop" is one of extreme importance. As was witnessed with Mr. Holder's tenure, a biased, activist and agenda-driven attorney general can tear at the fabric of our society. But while everyone seems preoccupied with who his successor will be, the possibilities of Mr. Holder's future is what has some forward-thinking people concerned. What is Eric Holder going to do? Mr. Holder, as it the case with the total of the Obama Administration sans Joe Biden, is a young man in political terms. His has a long and influential future ahead of him as the first Black activist US Attorney General. My fear is that Mr. Obama may want to reward his political "bag man" with a nomination to the US Supreme Court. And while it is not a sure thing, it is a possibility.

Holder to depart with 26-percent favorable rating

 

Attorney General Eric Holder will leave the administration with a 26-percent favorable rating, but that is higher than two other Cabinet secretaries who recently departed the Obama administration.

 

According to an online YouGov poll released Monday, 26 percent have a favorable view of the attorney general, who announced last week he would step down when a successor is confirmed.

 

Another 37 percent have an unfavorable view of him, while the same number —37 percent — do not know.

 

Holder's numbers are near, but not as low as, former Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius when they stepped down earlier this year.
