Attorney General Eric Holder's resignation could be a move to make him eligible for a higher office – Supreme Court justice, says talk radio host
Rush Limbaugh.
"It would be much easier for Eric Holder to make the jump from private sector law firm rainmaker after six years at DOJ to the Supreme Court, than from DOJ straight to the Supreme Court," Limbaugh said on his radio show Thursday.
"I don't think there's any scandal. I don't think it's Fast and Furious. I don't think he's worried about the Republicans investigating anything if they win the Senate," Limbaugh added.
