by Joe DePaolo | Nov 16th, 2018, 8:28 am
Weekly Standard editor at large and staunch Never-Trump conservative Bill Kristol absolutely went in on acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker Thursday.
In a late-afternoon tweet, the neoconservative political analyst went ALL CAPS to bash President Donald Trumps interim pick to lead the Justice Department.
Its a problem that a non-Senate confirmed individual is acting as attorney general. Its a problem that the acting AG didnt recuse himself on Mueller, Kristol wrote. But above all its a problem that a manifestly unqualified political hack is acting as ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES.

The controversy continues to swirl around Whitaker who as Kristol noted was not confirmed by the Senate for his most recent post as chief of staff to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Whitaker has come under scrutiny for promoting products from a company called World Patent Marketing which has been accused of defrauding its customers. He has also been an outspoken critic of special counsel Robert Muellers probe.
