Just in case there was any doubt about Trump's claim just now that he

[Atticus]

"doesn't know" Whitaker:

Whitaker is in Trump's vest pocket. He's Trump's stooge and, given his "do", I'm tagging him "Curly".

1. More like Curly Joe than Curly

[Atticus]

2. That was my intent. Thanks for the clean-up. nt

4. Actually, Curly Joe DeRita was "Curly Joe" and Curly Howard was just "Curly".

Either will do.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Definitely Curly Joe

He was hapless.

3. If drumpfs orange assmouth or teeny tiny little orange fingers are moving, he's lying.

That's an easy test and is almost 100% accurate. He and Whitaker may not be BFF;s, but he knows Whitaker is a white nationalist asshole who has been interviewing for this job on-air at Faux by claiming with zero proof that no crimes whatsoever were committed by drumpf administration. Guess he thinks the 9 indictments were for a fashion faux pas? Anyway, drumpf saw the sycophant & decided to give him what he's been auditioning for, the right to fuck up and destroy Mueller. Only Agent Orange Chaos is so stupid, he's broken the constitutions' requirement that any Cabinet head by approved by the Senate. Or, he actually knows this is illegal but he thinks he can do anything and that his hand picked SCOTUS Russian Repugs will back him in destroying the constitution for their own political power.
