We can only imagine what scandal is brewing behind the scenes. For someone this high-up the
Obama food chain to jump ship before the mid-term elections, means something very damaging for
the White House may be coming down the pipeline… Eric Holder (photo, left) announced today
[September 25] that he will be resigning as US Attorney General and head of the US Department of
Justice. Holder says he’ll be staying on until a successor is confirmed. Holder, known as ‘Obama’s
legal pit bull’, has served as attorney general since 2009, and is regarded as the President’s closest
person friend in the administration.
With so much open law-breaking being done by the Federal government, and with much of it
covered-up and contained by the Department of Justice, it’s anyone’s guess what has prompted
Holder’s exit this week.
What’s forced Holder into early retirement? Perhaps it’s that the Ferguson, Missouri case may not
go the way the DOJ wants and public fall-out will be too messy. His exit could also be part of a larger
deal cut between the opposition and the White House involving a scandal threatening to explode.
From the beginning of Obama’s first term in 2009, Holder’s job was to protect the President from any
legal recoiling, and to make any illegal actions appear legal on paper. The result has been a huge dent
in the public’s confidence that the DOJ’s is able to dispense justice fairly and free of White House politics.
Holder took it upon himself to defend the Obama White House from a string of high-profile scandals,
often at professional and personal expense. Holder was also the first Attorney General in US
history to be held in contempt of Congress – for not complying with (ignoring) Congressional
subpoenas relating to Fast and Furious. Many saw this as proof the Holder was running a cover-up
– not the sort of behaviour one would expect from the head of any ‘Justice Department’.
