Maybe a political deal could be struck so if AG Holder resigns, the Republicans would be open to more compromise on Democrat bills in the House?

However, if Holder does resign right before the election, it will be shown as a major sign of weakness and admitting to fault and the Republicans will play that up as a major fault of the Obama Administration.

I believe the best idea is for Holder to stay in office until after the election and when the Obama Administration wins again, he could resign at that point if it looks needed for a smooth running of the government.
