I can't stand watching Cheetolini's pressers. To anyone who did: Did any reporter ask

him what he knew about Whitaker's scam company? And if nothing, why didn't he know about the background of a guy he picked to be acting AG? And it's not old news, the FTC finished its case in 2017.

I assume the focus was elsewhere, but it seems to me those questions are just as relevant, interesting, and illustrative of what's concerning about his selection as anything about Mueller.

“Well, Matt Whitaker – I don’t know Matt Whitaker. Matt Whitaker worked for Jeff Sessions, and he was always extremely highly thought of, and he still is. But I didn’t know Matt Whitaker. He worked for Attorney General Sessions.”

I realize it’s difficult to defend the decision to make Whitaker the nation’s chief law enforcement official, but this posture is foolish, even by Trump standards.

For one thing, the president hand-picked Whitaker for the critically important post. If he doesn’t know him, why did Trump select him?

For another, there’s some evidence that Trump does know him. The New York Times reported in September that Whitaker “has frequently visited the Oval Office and is said to have an easy chemistry with Mr. Trump. On Monday morning [Sept. 24], Mr. Trump himself called Mr. Whitaker, not with an explicit job offer but a reassurance that he has faith in him.”

his cronies, his backside lickers, etc.). No words of truth are spoken what-so-ever by this corrupt administration, nor is anything intelligently comprehensive ever breathed by this scum administration.

rump lost big time w/ the midterms.

A foreshadowing of the truth that the American people will drop on his head in under two years (Yay!!! We are slowly getting there).
