Eric Holder has finally resigned....hope the next has some common sense, but I doubt it.

[DeputyDog]

I doubt that the next one will. Look who's going to be appointing them.

[Captain]

Yep that can turn into trading the devil you know for the devil you don't know really quick....

About the only thing I can predict with absolute certainty, is that whoever it is, you won't like him.

On problem that is hidden among all this, if a SC Justice dies in the next two years Holder could get the nod.

Why did he resign?

All the more reason why we NEED a Republican controlled Senate this coming November!
Of course, they'd have to "grow a pair" and learn to play as dirty as the Dems play.

Rev. Al Sharpton claims he is advising White House in search for new Attorney General

Controversial civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton says he is helping the White House pick the next U.S. attorney general.

Sharpton made the claim in a press release on his National Action Network's website in the hours after it was reported U.S. AG Eric Holder is stepping down.

"We are engaged in immediate conversations with the White House on deliberations over a successor whom we hope will continue in the general direction of Attorney General Holder," said Sharpton.

Reactions on Twitter ranged from one person asking: "is this a sick joke?" To another person saying only "speechless."

Sharpton was quick to praise Holder's work in calling him "the best Attorney General on civil rights in U.S. history."

Holder was the first African-American AG in the country's history. He was one of President Barack Obama's original appointees and has held down the fourth-longest tenure in history.

But the MSNBC host also criticized his handling of Guantanamo Bay and asked that the Justice Department take a more active role in both the investigation into the shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri, teen Michael Brown and the chokehold death of Staten Island father Eric Garner.

"We will aggressively pursue the Justice Department's involvement in dealing with these matters in his remaining days and in the days ahead of his successor."

The White House has not commented on the extent of Sharpton's involvement.

I think ALL Attorney's General suffer the same politically charge fate... They're not autonomous law enforcement officials, as they should be. They are chess pieces on a political chess board. Neither party will ever change that.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Its just something to bitch about.

[LJ3]

True... I think we should have a Top Cop position. Their office should be in Alaska and have absolutely NO communication with the White House in any way. Or maybe have them run during Presidential elections on an AG Ticket.

[Buckrub]

Nah. Much easier to just not have a President.

We treat ours more like a King every year.

[Buckrub]

And ain't nobody told me why he resigned.

[Big Muddy]

If I had to guess, I'd say he's either got a better offer someplace else, or there's a firestorm brewing, and he knows his azz is gonna get burned.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Its pretty common for AG's to resign in the last two years of a president's term. Plus I imagine he's feathered his nest pretty good from his time in that office. Resigning right before these mid term elections probably has something to do with it. Given the animosity in the Senate, he might be baiting the Republicans in the Senate to hold up a confirmation just to make them look bad. there's already a chance they'll shut down the damned government again, which would pretty much be the death knell for any hope of a conservative takeover in the Senate. That's where I'd be putting my money on the reason he's resigning now.

I think I know why...

[Buckrub]

Ok, why?

[Chicken Dinner]
