I think Holder will go now

[Ichingcarpenter]

same with the bush appointee of the FBI

Maybe Obama will finally clean out Justice
including the ATF, the FBI etc.

The CIA is a tougher egg to crack.

1. It's a good chance the President has already told him that

[Solomon]

2. i hope not. its been reported that he asked holder to

stay and he agreed.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

17. Link?

[hrmjustin]

3. The head of the FBI has a ten year term that is ending now I believe.

I agree that holder is going to go now.

[DURHAM D]

10. Mueller's term was to end September of 2011.

The President asked him to extend two years until September 2013.

[hrmjustin]

16. I thought I heard something like that happened. Thanks.

[tularetom]

4. I heard Obama asked him to stay on

But that may have been before this petraeus stuff blowed up.

[former-republican]

6. He's been a lightning rod for the Presidents administration

The President needs to put personal feelings aside

[ananda]

5. Yes, Holder needs to go.

He's been weak where he should have been strong,
and too strong where he should have held back
(medical marijuana).

[sarcasmo]

7. Fingers and toes crossed.

[Hutzpa]

8. He can send Brennan over to CIA

I like his tenacity and intensity, yes with Holder and Bush appointed Mueller.

[AnnaLee]

9. The Atlantic had a good suggestion for Holder in the new Administration.

"Eric Holder should resign his post at Justice to lead the new Commission on Election Reform that President Obama must empanel to investigate voter suppression, voter fraud, and all other threats to voting rights. The Commission should be charged with recommending to Congress what legal changes are necessary to ensure that American citizens do not have to be put through the indignities they suffered this year when they tried to register and vote."

11. Holder needs to go entirely from the Presidents administration

[Myrina]

12. ... and take Arne Duncan and Tim Geithner with him ...

n/t

[DURHAM D]

13. That is a great idea.

One of the members of the Commission should be Al Gore.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. That would be change

I can believe in.

[Hutzpa]

15. Will he be able to enforce any voters law?

also will he be able to ensure states follow strict voter rules that will prevent any interferance in future elections without having the republicans bamboozle him as they've done in the past.
