#1 Well considering he didn't do a really good job in office, was a political hack and is generally despised in the law enforcement community...

He is the perfect hack man for a hack job.

#3 "Having the former attorney general of the United States brings us a lot of firepower in order to prepare to safeguard the values of the ~~people of California~~ Mexican government," Kevin de León, the Democratic leader of the Senate, said in an interview. "This means we are very, very serious."

Fixed it for ya, Kevin.

#5 I guess nothing ever came of the Congressional contempt charge against Holder.

If Repubs are smart (yeah, I know, big IF), they'd make sure that contempt of Congress charge hobbles / prevents Holder from doing his 'job', if it doesn't already.

#7 "Having the former attorney general of the United States brings us a lot of firepower.."

Not nearly as much firepower if most of his cronies are no longer working for the Justice department, and the rest have had the fear of God put in them.

#9 So, once Holder's convicted and in prison, is he still going to be paid by California?
