President Obama shed tears and soul legend Aretha Franklin gave a surprise performance as Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. bid farewell to the Justice Department on Friday after a 39-year career, including the past six as the nation's top lawyer.
During a ceremony to unveil his official portrait, Holder, 64, said he was proud of his accomplishments and praised hundreds of colleagues who turned out to honor him. He was the country's third-longest serving attorney general.
"No attorney general, no AG, has ever loved this institution or you more," said Holder, the first African American to hold the job. Paraphrasing musician Duke Ellington, he added: "I will miss you as I have loved you all: Madly. I love you madly."

Doesn't this so call great attorney general have a criminal background? Not to mention the murder of our border patrol agents through Fast and Furious.
Good riddance, I for one will not be shedding a tear, that is unless I think about what the AG and POTUS have done to my country.
Its about time.
And don't let the door hit you in the rear end as you leave - good riddance.
Heard he was going to run with Hillary for 2016...
Holder has taken the office of attorney general and trashed justice in his pursuit of partisan politics, filled with his racist views of the world.
Holder...don't let the door hit you in the ass, and prey that the country isn't taken back from you and your libtard friends because there is a federal prison cell with your name on it waiting for you.
FIST bump? Nice touch to a failed AG..Dare i ask what was on the menu?..
These people are the true racists.
