President Donald Trump appears to be continuing his streak of feeling no need to respect traditional separation of powers. The commander in chief has lashed out at his hand-picked Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker for failing to do more to control the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office and its prosecution of Michael Cohen, according to CNN. This happened at least twice. The first time when Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the plans for a Trump Tower in Moscow and another when prosecutors implicated him in a plan to buy the silence of women who said they had affairs with him.

CNN insists that its sources never said that Trump even suggested Whitaker needed to stop the investigation. Rather, they insist, the president was simply letting off some steam about a situation that he saw as unfair. But he also wondered why more wasn’t being done to control the prosecutors who had brought the charges that implicated Trump.

1. And of course rumpettes will deny that rump is trying to interfere w/ these investigations...

Anyone else w/ any sense of smarts will know that this is bordering on interference. rump can choose to vent and so forth, but why of all the people he has around him, he would vent to the AG illegally put there (whitaker)? Sounds like an underhanded way of getting W to remove Mueller/stop the investigations, allowing rump to claim later that 'he didn't shut down the Mueller investigations, W did!'.

What a scumbag.
