The question is: Could other potential Attorney General nominees stonewall justice as effectively as Holder has? Nobody has been more successful at blocking the legitimate inquiry of Administration abuses and crimes than Holder. If Nixon had one as effective he would have stayed in office. Certainly nobody can argue that Obama is less deserving of being removed from office than Nixon. Holder will be recorded in history as a truly evil man.

Napolitano floated for attorney general Paul Bedard November 8, 2012 \| 2:24 pm The second term game of Obama cabinet musical chairs kicked into high gear Thursday when Attorney General Eric Holder suggested that he might leave soon. He would join Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Treasury Secretary Tim Geither and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on the exit list. Names immediately surfaced of those who might replace Holder including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who has steered her department through controversial issues and come out generally unscathed. Senate sources said that she would be a good pick for Obama since she has years of experience in the area and is generally well regarded in Congress. According to a post-election report from the international law firm SNR Denton, other potential attorney general candidates include Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, and Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. washingtonexaminer.com
