Ron DeSantis Glad Eric Holder is Resigning as Attorney General

From his perch on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., said he was glad U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is leaving office.

"Eric Holder's tenure has been marked by the politicization of justice, disrespect for the rule of law and Constitution, and suppression of the truth, DeSantis said on Thursday after news broke that Holder, after almost six years in office, was leaving. He will be remembered for being held in contempt of Congress for stonewalling the Fast and Furious investigation and for conducting a sham investigation into the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS. President Obama could hardly do worse when naming Holder's successor; my hope is that the president tries to do much better. Our people need to regain their lost confidence in the nation's commitment to the even-handed administration of justice."
