1. I remember when Ken Starr was "Senate confirmed".

Ha! Played a 'Trump' on you. Of course Ken Starr was never "Senate confirmed." Special Investigators aren't "Senate confirmed," but the witless orange knob doesn't know that. They're appointed by the Attorney General, the Attorney General you appointed, who was then "Senate confirmed".

Once again, Trump just pulls something out of his ass because he doesn't know squat about the government he's supposedly in charge of. But his "base" believes every word that comes out of his galactic-sized mouth, so look for the twitterverse to explode with right-wing bullshit explaining what "he really meant".

2. Yeah, Donnie, you really respected the office of POTUS during the previous admin.

3. Actually, going by since Whittaker had previously been senate confirmed for a previous spot,.

doesn't the same go for Mueller. The Senate confirmed him 98-0 back in 2001 when he became Director of the FBI.

4. I think the AG can only be appointed if he is in a current Senate Confirmed position

Chief of Staff to the AG is not a Senate Confirmed position. He keeps mixing rules up.
