• Not in a senate-confirmed position (therefore unconstitutional)
• Violates statutory protocols for filling vacancies (illegal)
• Unqualified
• Corrupt: one of top officials / investors / spokespersons for a company that was SHUT DOWN earlier THIS YEAR by TRUMP’s administration for FRAUD (kind of like fraudulent Trump University?)
Only ONE qualification: Has claimed Trump has the authority to shut down the Mueller investigation and has proposed strategies for doing so
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is requesting that the Senate Judiciary Committee hold a hearing on acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker’s “conflicts of interest,” including if he violated a federal law on political activities.
Blumenthal sent a letter on Monday to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, asking him to schedule an oversight hearing so Whitaker could testify under oath about potential Hatch Act violations and his previous criticism of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees in the executive branch from taking part in certain political activities.

Nothing new about “mystery money”. Both parties receive that, along with “recommendations” of what the candidate should do while in office.

He looks just like a mob hit man, and sounds like it too.

Not surprising that #45 would pick another white-collar criminal!

Since Whitaker believes in time travel, maybe he and Trump can go back in time to when they WEREN’T crooks, and then they can find Bigfoot……..

Don’t you mean: “Trump is satisfied with HIS OWN performance?”

Too bad he’s not saying “I am in da pen.” As that looks like a place he belongs considering the fraud and what not in his past.

All Trump Disciples believe that Whitaker The Felon is the most qualified man in America that Trump could pick for the job.
Because they have great instincts for that sort of thing.

Also, analysis skills.
