| #31 This seems more than a calculated 'removal' prior to the 'lections. Too easy. Not enough blood was shed. The folks this close to 'One' and ValJar don't go down without a serious fight. Something bigger is afoot..... |

| #30 And she would do that for the leftists Just trades one leftie for another, no overall change in the makeup of the court. |

| #29 These people don't go away. Obama has plans for him. |

| #28 Maybe he was called by his old law firm to help free the rest of the Gitmo faithfull...pro-bono of course...( free except for the ISIS donations) |

| #27 Referring to him as a "crooked bastard" is actually high praise. |

| #26 Maybe he has been tapped to walk guns to ISJV. |

| #25 As long as the crooked bastard is prosecuted. |

| #24 Not certain Holder could muster the support for a Supreme Court appointment. He's been found 'In contempt of Congress'.... whatever that means today. Washington Times article, same topic. |

| #23 Rumor. Whatever the reason for todays news of his stepping down, Obama is wanting to have him in a position of nominating him to replace Justice Ginsburg on the Supreme Court if she will retire. And she would do that for the leftists. |

| #22 Purely a political move. Champ obviously wants to get Holder's replacement confirmed before the pubs take over the Senate. |

| #21 He probably wants a 2 year head start on the FBI and/or SOCOM who want to hunt this guy down. I'm sure he's on a lot of people's enemies list. Al |

| #19 He said he would stay on until his succesor was confirmed. |

| #18 Russh sez Al "Tawanna Brawley and unpaid taxes" Sharpton and his National Action Network are advising Obama on the replacement. Good thing Jesse Jr is in prison... |

| #17 So if he resigns and Obama appoints someone worse. That someone is either confirmed (not likely) and can cover up the same way Holder did, or that appointment goes through a long drawn out confirmation process. So what would a long span without an Attorney General do in regards to ongoing investigations? |

| #16 If someone was on to somethign I would think he'd be better positioned to stop it as Attorney General. It would have to be something big, and released by someone big. Could he fear a Republican Senate might go after him and thus a deal was made? |

| #15 One answer to "why now?": A federal judge earlier this week ruled that the Justice Department will have to begin submitting documents next month related to the botched Fast and Furious gun operation in a case brought by Judicial Watch. |

| #14 My only question is why now?Posted by SteveS Perhaps someone is on to something. Hopefully other will follow suit. |

| #13 Six years of actions by a racist radical lawyer head to the history books that unfortunately won't be written for 50 years due to national security delays. |

| #12 My only question is why now? |
| Posted by: SteveS 2014-09-25 13:07 |
| #11 Did Obama find out about on the news? Does Holder know yet? I bet if someone asks him why he'll say, "I don't know". He doesn't seem to know much about anything else. |

| #10 Excellent Z! |

| #9 Aw crap. Thanks, Holder -- there's a caffeine-free coffee break I'll never get back. Obama's wrapped in world affairs, Sucking up to billionaires. But if the boss is unawares, Who is there to him compares? When lightning strikes at teddy bears, Jesus shrugs, but Eric cares. He dries his people's eyes and glares; Maybe he will grant their prayers. The dozens flock the streets and squares, Blocking minor thoroughfares; By night, by light of stores and flares, Taking wares that are not theirs. Now, when the social fabric tears, Holder's there to make repairs With legal snares and questionaires, Conferences, employment fairs, NTBC |

| #8 Pardons only apply to American law. No effect in Mexico City. |

| #7 This is what the Trunks wanted from Dick Chaney before the Donks took the mid-term election. Someone is reading the polling data. |

| #6 Gonna spend time working on a fast conviction for his crimes and then a pardon by Obama before he leaves office. |

| #5 Gonna spend more time with the family? |

| #4 Funniest comment seen so far was at Insty: "Do you suppose he woke up with Lois Lerner's bloody hard drive at the foot of his bed?" |

| #3 Hopefully someone has ordered enema kits for the DoJ. Might as well have a clean flush while we're at it. |
