Career politicians breed corruption and lies. Vote them out or they die in office.

Option one......you win
Option two......you lose

In addition to picking her judicial recommendations, Sen. Hagen should have had Justice Mitchell write her letter to the White House as well. He, unlike her staff apparently, would have known that Federal District Court Judges are not “individuals for appointment to positions at the Department of Justice.”

When North Carolina voted for a Democratic Senator did we expect less? This is the Democratic class and caste system at its worst.

Gee, wow, what a surprised. Lots of back-slaps all around for entrenched interests.

Wow - if Burr would have had a slip up like this the "good ole progressives" at BlueNC would have tried to hang him in the public square, yet are no where to be found on this board.

Only proving that all three of yall (Gosh, James and SHarrison) are nothing but partisan hacks that get paid to trash Republicans by ACORN - well maybe not but still are washed up partisan hacks...

Good call, Senator Hagan.

"But the state Republican Party argues that Holding doesn’t just go after Democrats. They note that he also prosecuted such Republicans as former U.S. Attorney Sam Currin and former state Sen. John Carrington."

Jebus, Brent. Do a little research upfront, okay?

Sam Currin was prosecuted by Gretchen Shappert out of the Western District office, and John Carrington was investigated by Commerce and prosecuted by James Candelmo and John Bowler while Whitney was still the top dog in the Eastern District.

I'll bet Hagan is bouncing off walls trying to get this done before her boy Easley gets in any further trouble.

She has some pretty big debts coming due and now this Easley thing has added several more to the pile cause it looks like some petty big names are gonna be left out in the wind if she can't follow up with on time and proper payments.

I respect the opionion to keep Holding on the job until these investigations are completed. Can he be retained until then while bringing in a Obama appointee to handle just the new cases?

Frank Whitney was previous US Attorney.

Didn't the Blago prosecutor stay on the job in Chicago?

Maybe they want the "Blago Exception" applied here.

I say keep him on the job, too, at least until he completes investigations of the Easley and Edwards fiascos.
