WASHINGTON — The Washington Post is reporting that senior administration officials aren’t all that happy with Atty. Gen. Eric Holder Jr and have privately expressed dismay about his job performance.
The Post reports that administration officials have complained about Holder’s “tin ear in his decision-making and his public remarks.”
The paper went on to report that some people have predicted Holder might not last much longer in the job.
“But Holder has shown no signs of getting ready to leave, and he remains a close friend of President Obama’s, advisers said,” the Post reported. “If anything, his careful statements Wednesday seemed to suggest that he is adapting to the White House’s desire that he make less news.”
The information was included in a report on Holder’s appearance Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee where he was able to side-step some of the Republican committee members hostile questions.
He fielded questions about the delay in shutting Guantanamo Bay and said he expected Osama bin Laden would never be taken alive, the Post reported.
“If anything, his careful statements Wednesday seemed to suggest that he is adapting to the White House’s desire that he make less news,” the Post reported.
