Finally, Worst Attorney General in US History Resigning
 
By Rob Kall


From opednews.com/populum/uploadphotos/s_300_farm8_static_flickr_com_18_8718692337_1026fd2f33_n_938.gif: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder

The White House has announced that Eric Holder will be leaving as soon as his replacement can be secured.

Holder has established a record that will be difficult to beat, as the worst corporate interest server in US Attorney General history-- a fabulous success at allowing corporate criminals to escape prosecution, while keeping good people, like Don Seigelman, in prison.

I would expect, that Obama, as his boss, the one who gave Holder his orders, will replace Holder with another corporatist, probably someone who has served loyally in the camp of bankers and money people.

Holder's leaving gives me little hope that things will improve. Even if in the unlikely circumstance that Obama wanted to replace him with someone better, the current composition of congress will not allow any decent, honest people not loyal to corporations to be approved.
 
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Holder has done SOMETHING good. Correct me, please, in the comments.

And if Holder ever did anything that showed courage and the exercise principled decision making, please point it out.
