(Dupe) Eric Holder should go - sooner rather than later.

My 2c.

I couldn't care less about Micheal Pap's crap, Holder's DOJ has been walking dead pathetic. Only the DEA has shown signs of life - and fuck that for the joke it is.

The Too Big To Fail Banks have brought misery to the world, throwing millions upon millions into destitution. Well, "that's outrageous, and there’s no place for it. And they have to be held fully accountable, and it’s got to be fixed.”

If Obama can summon such indignation about the administration of tax decidability, where was this administration when facing the self-evident carnage of criminal greed? He said at the time, you don't bicker while the house is burning down. Fine, but remind me,when were the arsonists brought to justice?

Hell. Even Ashcroft took on Kenny-Boy. Eric Holder sat on his hands. Whatever the zeitgeist of the Administration and Timmy-Boy, he had it within his remit, and he passed.

Holder's DOJ is a joke. All the heat the Obama Aministration copped for bailouts could have played out differently with some banksters frog marched in handcuffs.

Forget generic Consumer Protection, Elizabeth Warren was needed in Justice. Anyone but Eric Holder.

I do know the NRA/all gun defenders hates him, which makes him even better.
Anyone the NRA hates is a friend of mine

unfortunately, our reps, feel free to ignore the people, or make jokes like Obama. How do we change federal law? get rid of reps wth unsatisfactory performance. I'm sure he could find something more important than enforcing prohibition to do.go chase some real criminals.

Let it play out.

Rushing to judgment is a GOP thing. Let's see what the deal is, here, before we shoot first/ask questions later.

Ignoring the banking fiasco that crashed our economy is the big one. Why was that not terrorism? People lost their jobs, homes, health--everything.

To not even attempt to determine exactly who was responsible and bring them to justice was negligence.

I'm not as concerned about the more recent stuff, at least until we know more. But the banking investigation should have been Job One on Day One, especially considering what the economy was like at that time.

but my outrage with the every damn one of the big banksters getting off, has been burning me since 2009. Even fucking Ashcroft was better at prosecuting Corporate Criminals that Holder.

... when he refused to do The Peoples business and prosecute the Bankster scum, and Obama should have fired him. I've never heard a rational, honest reason as to why.
