Submitted by Kevin Derby on September 26, 2014 - 9:36am
U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., said he was happy U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is leaving the Obama administration.
I am happy to hear that Attorney General Holder will be stepping down from his post, Yoho said on Thursday. While his appointment was historic, his tenure at the Department of Justice left much to be desired. Although Mr. Holder did not leave the way I saw fit, I am just happy he left. I hope the new attorney general will gain the trust of the American people, follow the Constitution, and restore faith in the Justice Department.
