Holder May Quit After Midterms?

by JASmius

Eric "The Red" quit?  Don't count on it:

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder plans to stay on through November's mid-term elections and has no timeline for an exit after that, a Justice Department official told Reuters on Friday.

"The Attorney General does not plan to leave before the mid-terms. That does not mean that he is definitely leaving after the mid-terms, just that he is at least staying through that time," the official said.

Translation:  He ain't leaving.  EVER.  Any more than his big-eared boss.

Or, at the very least, he still believes his party can and will avert destruction on November 4th, as otherwise.....:

There has been speculation over when Holder, 63, might step down from the post he has held since shortly after President Barack Obama took office in 2009. Should Republicans win control of both chambers of Congress in the November elections, it may be difficult for a potential replacement for Holder to be confirmed.

If the White House had given up on at least breaking even in the midterms, and if Eric "The Red" was really inclined to retire, he'd do so now, while there still remains a nuked, rubber-stamp Senate that will confirm any piece of leftwing filth Red Barry sends up to them.  By those lights, it's fairer to say that Holder is hedging his bet, as if the Dems lose the Senate as expected, there'll still be time for Dirty Harry (G)Reid to ram through an Obamunist replacement in the post-election lame duck session.  Although really, would a Republican Senate majority really deny Barack Obama his choice of such a crucial Cabinet position as Attorney-General?  Or any Cabinet-level position?  Or any position at all?  The GOP is incapable of even recognizing hardball, no matter how many times it gets beaned.

You know what real hardball would be?  If it's true that Eric "The Red" was taken to the hospital a couple of months back with "faintness and an elevated heart rate," then the answer seems clear, and wouldn't need involve the Senate at all.  Just keep dragging Holder before House committees and shove their contempt of Congress citation in his face until he collapses.  Because I will guarantee one and all the "on his back" is the only way that Eric "The Red" Holder - the Obamunist Heinrich Himmler - will ever be separated from that kind of power.
