Sun-Times columnist: Deval Partick to replace Eric Holder?

Chicago Sun-Times HQ

Is Eric Holder finally on his way out?  Is the AP phone records scandal the final straw?

The Chicago Sun-Times' Michael Sneed reports:

Sneed is told that Attorney General Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder's days are numbered.

Sneed hears President Barack Obama, who is this/close to Holder, has set his sights on Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick as a possible replacement "when the heat dies down on the latest hot-button scandals to hit the U.S. Justice Department," said a top White House source.

Last year, Holder became a hot button over a congressional probe of the sale of government guns to drug cartels.

This time it's the double whammy of an IRS scandal and the U.S. Justice Department's seizure of Associated Press reporters’ phone records — which has caused a media uproar.

Like Obama, Patrick is a creation of liberal thug David Axelrod.
