The POTUS has a very wide circle of criminal and nefarious friends who would be more than happy to do his evil bidding, just like Holder did.
The replacement can always be worse, believe it or not.
He is not going to appoint a fair or open-minded AG who will do his/her duty and follow the Constitution and the laws of this nation. Trust me, it will be another political hack who does what he/she is told.

Holder's just a spent pawn. The next AG, likely, won't be any better.

Obama Likely Replacing Holder With Liberal Civil Rights Attorney
Deval Patrick is a former civil rights attorney and staunch liberal; just the sort of high-ranking government authority you’d expect Obama to put in place.

Al Sharpton is telling everyone that will listen that the White House has him in the loop for finding Holder's replacement. If that is indeed the case, and not just self serving bluster, than Holder's replacement will be just as big a soup sandwich. I don't expect the replacement to be any less radical and we're all the worse for it.
