Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker was Jeff Sessions' chief of staff, and so he'll step into the job with a nearly complete working knowledge of the Department of Justice — except for special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

democrats very proud 12 russians over took 330 million usa minds forced us to vote improperly controlled r weak , useless a.....

tRump finally got to appoint someone who will be his bitch and piss all over the Mueller investigation. If this isn't obstruction of justice, what the hell is?

We can only hope Mueller has a contingency plan. Like the ability to pass some of this stuff down to the state levels where the AG can’t get involved. And there is always the subpoena power of the House. They can request he testify on all his findings.

Another nationalist like his boss. This is exactly why voting is so important. Before your rights are lost, like the reporter at the new conference.

Karma

So sad; tRump always seems to find a way around things!!

Amazing how Trump used the Republican voters and party to do his bidding. Shameful really that they fell for it.

In other news, foxes have been put in charge of the henhouse.

I'd he had any integrity, he'd recuse himself. We know that will never happen. Fascists Liars ObstructionOfJustice

Why, he hasn't been vetted by the Congress Rosentein has. I'm very curious of this move. It seems I'm watching a democracy dying

A prosecutor does not have free reign.... EVER.

He's also a criminal, so he's perfect fit for the TrumpCrimeFamily

Curb it? Mueller is supposed to be giving his 'findings' after the midterms. How do you curb something thats finished?

Matthew Whitaker, acting attorney general, cleared to oversee Robert Mueller's Russia probeActing AG Matthew Whitaker has been cleared by Justice Dept. ethics officers to oversee Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference despite his previous sharp criticism of the probe. What a misleading headline. Had extensive review by senior officials, He did not seek formal ruling from ethics office. Senior doj ethics official said it was a 'close call' and he should recuse in an 'abundance of caution.' What about bob? Something smells fishy at the DOJ.

Supreme Court asked to rule on Trump's choice of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney generalVeteran Supreme Court litigator Thomas Goldstein filed a motion on an unrelated case late Friday that asks the justices to decide if Whitaker was legally installed as the successor to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. We already know that answer. YES This is such a waste of valuable Supreme Court time, this is a temporary appointment in the short term it means nothing. They need to focus on dire constitutional violations of citizens rights. Just saying they have much more pressing matters to deal with. Thomas Goldstein is a laughing stock now. Yes Mr. Whitaker was legally installed as the new Attorney General.
