"Holder to remain U.S. attorney general through November elections at least"

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.

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.

We wouldn't want any new attorney general who might accidentally go off the reservation and question the Holder's (and the Administration's) contempt for the rule of law right before election time ...

If the Whigs lose big and some Tea Partiers get into a couple of chairmanships, holder will go the route of Big Sis and the Silver Haired Angel of Death.

Wow, Holder's 63? He looks 43. But then the no lines in the face thing goes with the no conscience thing.
