What can and can't Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker do about Mueller?

Last Updated Nov 13, 2018 4:42 PM EST

If the ouster of Attorney General Jeff Sessions wasn't enough to elicit concern from Trump critics in Washington, replacing him with Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker certainly has.

While President Trump searches for a permanent appointment for attorney general — something Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham says will likely happen "early next year" — Whitaker oversees special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling and any ties to Trump associates.

Democrats are already urging Whitaker to recuse himself from the investigation, given Whitaker's public remarks on television and in print criticizing the scope and authority of Mueller's investigation. But Mr. Trump never forgave Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation, and publicly and repeatedly berated his attorney general for doing so. Whitaker has given no indication that he intends to recuse himself after assuming the oversight baton from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

IMHO, Lifelong Republican Senator Jeff Sessions, of Alabama, ran like a rabbit, in attempt to prevent the investigation from spilling over into his sordid dealings!

1. I would suggest answer all Mueller's questions honestly.

2. Yes, let's wait for Teflon Don Trump and his syndicate to "answer questions honestly" Then...

We can all meet at Roswell, New Mexico - where we voted almost solid Blue and meet with either space-aliens or the scare-tactic Illegal Alien Caravan, whichever group arrives first!

Al kidding aside, thanks for a reply to this timely, pertinent, Opening Post.

6. I was serious. Mueller has this. Mr. Whitaker should research

The career of AG John Mitchell.

3. As soon as the dust settles and midterm winners are entrenched, Graham will be the AG

4. Do you think they can indict Trump and Whitaker, by then?

5. That would be a dream come true.

But I think they have an over abundance of evidence already gathered. I'm not sure if even Graham can suppress that.
