| President Obama is holding on to Eric Holder as the nation’s top law-enforcement official, The Post has learned. The newly re-elected president asked his controversial attorney general to stay for the second term, and Holder has agreed despite enduring a firestorm of criticism from Republican lawmakers. “I don’t know if everyone in the White House wants him [Holder] to stay, but the important guy does, and that’s all that matters,” said one person briefed on the matter. Holder’s office declined to comment. His hardest-fought battle came over the botched sting operation called Fast and Furious,

Comments: They will keep each other´s secrets. Can´t have anyone new finding out what Holder knew and when he knew it.

Out of all the crooks and felons in the administration, the one person who has control over which selective laws will or will not be enforced...is conveniently retained. The nightmare continues.....

More selective law enforcement, vindictive prosecutions and racial revenge are on the horizon with this pair. They have to stay together... they both know too much.

The problem with what used to be the United States is that the government is the law and now its leaders are lawless. Obama and Holder care nothing about laws unless they can be used to benefit themselves and their liberal supporters. They uphold the laws they like and openly ignore and/or oppose the ones they don’t like. Therefore the average citizen now lives in a nation of unwritten laws, defined and changed at will by the liberals. Therefore the average citizen in reality has no law on his or her side.

This must be the most bankrupt administration to take office ever. Obama et al are out of ideas, out of talent, out of money, out of legitimacy -- and ill tempered to boot.
And we have to endure this for another 1530 days

John Mitchell, Nixon´s Attorney General, was a loyal hack. But, did he do anything worse than Holder?
I know that Scooter Libby was not an Attorney General under Bush. However, other than having an unfortunate nickname, can anyone tell me what Scooter Libby did that deserved jail time.
Holder? No accountability. It seems no one cares to pull back the sheet to look at the rotting corpse of this administration.

Barack and Holder have the goods on each other. Like other communist tyrants, they dare not get off the tiger of authoritarianism because it will just eat them alive. They both are guilty of crimes involving the murders of innocent people through their blind devotion to the marxist religion.

Right on # 7 you really nailed the problem.
The stink from the cesspool that defines this regime grows on an almost daily basis.
I hope the idiots who endorsed this collosal failure of the past 4 years are the most effected by the additional 4 years of calamity that they´ve caused. Many of course are so dense that they´ll not notice as long "de free stuff" continues to flow in their direction.

Holder is a fool. He will definitely get thrown under the bus if he stays. There is too much brewing for him to stay clean this time around.
I think the real reason Obama begged him to stay, though, was because most decent people know a bad thing when they see it, and why would anyone give up a lucrative law practice to wallow in that swamp? It would humiliate Obama to be turned down.

The moochers and takers will not notice anything is amiss until they go to the convenience store to buy RC Cola and Moonpies and their EBT cards no longer work when they swipe them. Then, these drug-addicted losers will get violent and start taking from whatever source they can in order to crap indoors, eat, and take care of their base biological needs. When they head out to your nice suburban neighborhood to "get theirs", that is when things are going to get real interesting...

This regime continues its march because there are no American loving patriots in the balance of power willing to stop it. They are messing with military Generals now and even that is not enough to get Congressional place holders to move. Do they think that the population will sit on the sidelines forever?

Senator Paula Broadwell? It might have been. TIME Magazine reports that David Petraeus’ mistress considered running for as a Republican candidate for senate in North Carolina — but the then-CIA director was against the idea. In July, Broadwell was in Aspen, Colo., for the Aspen Security Forum, TIME said on Thursday, and told a handful of people that GOP financiers had approached her about a possible campaign. She told the acquaintances that when she informed Petraeus, he questioned her positions on issues ranging from abortion to gun control to taxes.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus stoked the controversy over the Obama administration´s handling of the Libya terror attack, testifying Friday that references to "Al Qaeda involvement" were stripped from his agency´s original talking points -- while other intelligence officials were unable to say who changed the memo, according to a top lawmaker who was briefed. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told Fox News that intelligence officials who testified in a closed-door hearing a day earlier, including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Acting CIA Director Mike Morell, said they did not know who changed the talking points.

Washington - Anonymous harassing emails that Tampa socialite Jill Kelley turned over to the FBI contained information about the movements of CIA Director David Petraeus which was not publicly available, a law enforcement source told Reuters. The fact that the emails´ author - later determined to be Petraeus´ mistress Paula Broadwell - knew confidential information about the CIA chief´s activities was one of the main reasons the FBI felt compelled to launch an in-depth investigation into their origin and motivation, the source said. The emails, which a second law enforcement source said included

Tampa - The South Tampa woman connected to the Gen. David Petraeus scandal has called police to her home several times in the last few days, and at least once tried to invoke "diplomatic protection." Media from around the world have convened on the two-story Bayshore Boulevard home of Scott and Jill Kelley. Jill is the socialite mother of three whose FBI complaint about harassing emails eventually led investigators to uncover the CIA director´s affair with his biographer and is now linked to the name of a second top general. The Kelleys have kept a low profile since news of the scandal broke,

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
