Just a thought on the Matt Whitaker appointment...

The Trump Administration is being sued by the state of Maryland and three democratic senators in separate actions, in an attempt to remove Matt Whitaker as Acting AG. The Trump administration used the Vacancies Reform Act as a justification for Whitaker’s appointment as Jeff Sessions “resigned”.

It appears to me that the question is whether Jeff Sessions’ forced resignation is considered a firing.

One of the many problems that Trump has is that he cannot keep his mouth shut. He has a habit of contradicting his own administration. The administration is sticking to the story that Jeff Sessions resigned.

I think a reporter should ask him “whose idea was it to fire Jeff Sessions?”

I have no doubt that Trump will say “it was my idea.”
