“Holder was the one responsible for the Marc Rich pardons, and it was his Justice Department that dropped the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party back in 2009. Holder also had the bright idea of trying terrorists in criminal court, an idea which thankfully was blown up by Lindsey Graham, of all people. But that isn’t why he needs to go (at least, that’s not all of it).
No, his refusal to adequately explain his knowledge and involvement in Operation ‘Fast and Furious’ is why Holder is guilty of at LEAST contempt, and why it’s long past time for him to leave.”
I was 1000% right then, …and I’m even more right now: Eric Holder deserves to be fired and perp-walked down the steps to a waiting paddy wagon.
Yesterday woulda’ been nice….
So for an update of Eric “If I’m Breathin’, I’m Lyin’… ” Holder’s latest transgressions, check out this vid from National Review’s Jonah Goldberg:
Seriously, the only reason this creep is still around as Obama’s combination Consigliere/hit-man is that he knows where the bodies are buried, …figuratively AND literally, I believe.
If there’s any justice on Earth, he’d be the latest tenant of Club Gitmo, which would not only be deserving but also incredibly ironic.

And for a just little bit more on this whole affair, here’s another report featuring Brit Hume, who’s just as disgusted as I am:

***UPDATE: 5-28-13 at 2:07pm –
Looks like Holder may finally have crossed one bridge too many.
If you’re locking up journalists for soliciting classified info, then you don’t need to lock them up for disclosing it. You’re simply punishing them on the front end instead of the back end.
Is that what Holder’s planning to tell the House Judiciary Committee — that he’d never dream of interfering with a reporter’s transmission of a leak because … hopefully he’ll have already silenced that reporter for obtaining the leak to begin with?
See now why maybe O’s thinking of nudging this guy toward the exit? Good lord, when even David Axelrod’s “disturbed” by what the DOJ did, who’s left for the White House to appease by keeping Holder on?
Two Heads are Better Than One 
You will probably get a visit from the “Wickersham Brothers” for this one…
Awesome!
I’ve always had a fondness for “Beezelnut Oil”, so we should get on just fine….
I feel badly for Mr. Holder…..I never knew he was so weak of character and easily persuaded, that the CIA, et al, could intimidate him into breaking the law. SURELY, his investigation into HIMSELF will be a revelation for him. SO MANY things cross his desk that it MUST be hard to remember what you signed, or why you went “judge shopping” in the James Rosen situation. (I heard Juan Williams choke on that line when he said it, and Hume shredded him….)
But hey…….he’s TRYING. Shouldn’t we just celebrate that? So what if “one plus one equals three”? Let’s just applaud the effort.
As I’ve said before:
when your position and previous actions are so untenable that blatant and rampant incompetence is the
BEST excuse you can offer,… neither Guilt nor Competence are any longer in doubt.
Brother….all sarcasm aside: This man should have been gone about 10 minutes after refusing to prosecute the NBPP voter intimidation CRIME. That Obama continues to hitch his wagon to such a nag is downright puzzling to me.
I’m not puzzled at all, partner, although I agree with your opinion that he should have been kicked to the curb way back when.
He’s still there because the political cost for KEEPING him there hasn’t been high enough for Obama to bother messing up his system.
And until that cost BECOMES high enough, he’ll remain there, especially BECAUSE of his involvement in so many “questionable” events.
Fire him, jail him, and let him rot. And that would STILL be a better fate than Holder truly deserves….
I could agree with you up to the point of the AP story. Go after FoxNews? Rave reviews from his minions. Ditto on the NBPP, Fast and Furious, the terrorist “trials”, etc. BUT….attack a part of the MSM? Perhaps we’ll need to see the extent of any political cost from the AP story. There’s enough stuff that’s been swept under the rug, that I’m not sure how much room could be left……
That “rug” is so high by now, it looks more like a flying carpet.
