Does anything stop Whitaker from asking Mueller about evidence and passing that to Trump??

Maybe sounds paranoid, but I don't trust Whitaker at all.

1. I'm wondering the same thing....

Hoping there are some legalities involved in sharing evidence about a case that
involves drumph and his staff (for whitaker and drumph)...not that it would bother
a-hole and whitaker...but maybe there would be some recourse down the road.

2. It would be illegal

3. He may be able to ask...

But the answer Mueller may give is “NO”. At least I hope.

4. I would suggest that Mueller just say

that if I provided the information to you and it ended up in Trump's hands then he would be subject to obstruction of justice.

6. He'll be able to see and do too much.

Anything is too much since he is thinks he works for the fake prez and not the country. If he does interfere in the investigation that would be obstructing justice and Mueller can add that to his list when the Dems are in the House.

7. My understanding is . . .

Mueller is bound to report any material developments or changes in his investigation to Whitaker, as the acting Attorney General. To this point, Mueller has been reporting to Rod Rosenstein. I suspect that Mueller has a lot of irons in the fire, not only new developments and leads, but doing a lot of back-filling of matters already developed which have already been reported to Rosenstein.

If Mueller is smart, and I think he is, all he has to do for now is spend some time filling in the details on issues already developed and reported to Rosenstein. With a little patience, he can see how the legality of Whitaker's appointment plays out. If Whitaker is removed as Attorney General, Mueller can resume reporting to Rosenstein.

8. I'm not sure anything would change if 45 knew what Mueller was doing.

Mueller would keep on going.
