Matt Whitaker in July 2016 in USA Today article "I would indict Hillary Clinton"

This is relevant in terms of this afternoon's breaking news that Trump tried to get the Justice Department to indict both Hillary Clinton and James Comey.

Is this why he appointed Whitaker, among other reasons?

Here is an excerpt from the article from USA Today in July 2016 by Whitaker:

The facts also show it was gross negligence when she removed the information from State Department security. Secretary Clinton made the decision to use a personal email system, one that had inferior security to the State Department’s or even another commercial vendor’s email service.

A reasonable prosecutor may ask, if on numerous occasions, an unknown State Department employee had taken top secret information from a secured system, emailed that information on a Gmail account, and stored the information on a personal server for years, would that individual be prosecuted? I believe they would.
