First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

“He hated Sessions,” the source said, “it all goes back to the recusal.” Sessions’s replacement, Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker, is a conservative out of central casting. “Trump loves the guy. He’s like six-foot-four and played tight end for Iowa’s Rose Bowl team,” a Republican close to the White House said.

Good grief.
 
Let's have some fun. Sessions is such a little weasel that I wouldn't be surprised if he holds an auction for the rights to his tell all book.

Wouldn't an announcement of his $5-10M advance be the perfect Xmas gift for the Trump family?
 
The two people close to Whitaker also said they strongly believe he would not approve any request from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to subpoena the president. Mueller and Trump’s lawyers have negotiated for months about a possible interview, with no agreement in sight.
 
Posted this in the Sessions fired thread, but here we go (maybe)

 
Good god you have got to be kidding me. You are actively covering up the biggest investigations in US history and you don’t vet the guy you controversially installed to railroad the investigation????

I mean holy fuck. What utter incompetence. These clowns can’t even do crime and corruption right.



Whitaker backlash prompts concern at the White House


There is a growing sense of concern inside the White House over the negative reaction to Matthew Whitaker being tapped as acting attorney general after Jeff Sessions' abrupt firing.

Whitaker, who was Sessions' chief of staff, has faced criticism since Wednesday afternoon's announcement for his previous comments on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Several senior officials told CNN they were surprised by the criticism, and believe it could potentially jeopardize Whitaker's chances of remaining in the post if it continues to dominate headlines.


But Whitaker has previously expressed deep skepticism about the probe, including arguing in a 2017 CNN op-ed that Mueller was "dangerously close to crossing" a red line following reports that the special counsel was looking into Trump's finances and calling Mueller's appointment "ridiculous" and "a little fishy" in a 2017 appearance on the "Rose Unplugged" radio program.

Whitaker also spoke about the investigation in numerous other radio and television appearances, including CNN, where he was a legal commentator.

It was not widely known among White House staff that he'd commented repeatedly on the special counsel's investigation in interviews and on television -- which is ironic given that this is what drew President Donald Trump to him and raises continued questions over the depth of the administration's vetting process.

That doesn’t make sense. The guy basically auditioned for the job and outline what he would do in the job and they’re claiming they didn’t know?

That’s a lie.
 
biggest investigation in US history? Holy spends too much time on political twitter, batman.

Most likely.

Still incompetent either way. And reeking of desperation.

Probably should have been more specific....one of the biggest investigations into a sitting US president. But yes arguably one of the biggest investigations in US history as well.

Note: only one of the investigations above (to my knowledge) involves a conspiracy against the United States by a foreign government and aided and abetted by several members of the President’s campaign (wittingly or unwittingly).

I see a lot of Republicans on that list.
 
Acting Attorney General Sat on Board of Company Accused of Bilking Customers

Matthew G. Whitaker, the acting attorney general, served on the advisory board of a Florida company that a federal judge shut down last year and fined nearly $26 million after the government accused it of scamming customers.

The company, World Patent Marketing, “bilked thousands of consumers out of millions of dollars” by promising inventors lucrative patent agreements, according to a complaint filed in Florida by the Federal Trade Commission.

Court documents show that when frustrated consumers tried to get their money back, Scott J. Cooper, the company’s president and founder, used Mr. Whitaker to threaten them as a former federal prosecutor. Mr. Cooper’s company paid Mr. Whitaker nearly $10,000 before it closed.

Are there any non-grifters in this administration?
