Whitaker: What's stopping this asshole from telling Trump everything about the investigation?

[shockey80]

He can tell Trump what Mueller has , what he is investigating. Even if he is removed he will still be able to tell Trump what ever he learned. This is fucked up.

The first subpoena from the house should go to Whitaker. They should do it the first day.

1. Nothing. Hopefully, Mueller is holding things back from Whitaker.

[AJT]

2. There is a hell of a lot of information and I don't think he's bright

enough to understand a lot of it.

[Autumn]

3. Nothing, and he probably already has told them anything he has found out.

[manor321]

4. I don't like how Trump seems happier and Mueller was silent this week

There better be big Mueller news next week or I will get very worried.

[TEB]

5. If he did disclose any intel

Then Whittaker could be charged with obstruction I would think

[sfwriter]

6. He already has...

Trumps tweet last week about inside information on the investigation followed by his sudden willingness to answer some written questions and refusal on others shows he knows how to avoid perjury now. He’s seen some sizable chunk of the info. Likely interview transcripts based on his tweet.

7. I say use Whitaker to freak trump out even more.

Mueller could ask him to requisition three DOJ prisoner transport busses for a certain date and be real vague but hint that raids were scheduled.

Can you imagine how buggy trump would act if he thought Marshals were coming for him?

[Grasswire2]

18. LOL I like the way you think!

It would be possible to conduct a rolling troll of epic magnitude.

Something new every day, to tweak him.

[NightWatcher]

19. He's the boss. Ask him what all is involved in serving an arrest warrant at the White House.

And then just watch.

[Grasswire2]

20. haha nt

[Golden Raisin]

8. I have thought from the beginning that

one of, if not the main reasons Whitaker was chosen/installed by Trump was SPECIFICALLY to serve as a conduit to Trump of advance info gleaned from Special Counsel Mueller's investigation.

13. Whitaker is now vulnerable to losing his law license through major ethics violations.

He has to be very careful. His ethics board is watching every move he makes. If he loses his license, that's a career changer. He also has to worry about being included in obstruction charges in multiple fronts. Not only can he be included in indictments about Trumpy's obstruction, he can also obstruct investigations into his OWN separate fraudulent actions now being investigated by the FBI. The asshole had better get out of the DOJ and save his skin, and fast.

[Grasswire2]

21. hey, he can always fall back to football. nt

[democratisphere]

9. His own indictment by Mueller.

[33taw]

10. Trump likely knows most of this already. Whitaker is there to stop the investigation.

I believe our hope lies with what a house investigation can expose.

[GoCubsGo]

11. He likely doesn't know everything.

Malcolm Nance pointed out yesterday that until Whitaker gets Senate confirmation, Mueller is not obliged to tell him anything. I have very little doubt that Mueller has been keeping the most vital information away from this fuckstick. Mueller isn't stupid. He is many dozens of steps ahead of Trump and his crime syndicate, including Whitaker. I'm sure he knew many, many months that this kind of situation was inevitable, and he has been prepared for it.

[Garrett78]

12. I suspect Rosenstein's lips weren't sealed either. If nothing else...

...he must have coordinated with the White House when to give press conferences. Choosing Friday is purposeful. Trump would have known days in advance what was coming.

[bitterross]

14. Not a damn thing. Probalby why Trump was hiding

I'd say he's already told him everything major that he's found out about. That, along with the mid-terms are what put Trump in such a funk and he hid in his room for days.

[Buckeyeblue]

15. Who cares. Tell him.

Mueller isn't going to act without the evidence to convict. I hope 45 knows it all. It gives him more to be worried about.

[wryter2000]

16. True

But, would the information help Trump in any way?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Maybe a reasonable fear of being investigated and possibly charged

with obstruction of justice? Adam Schiff has let him know the House Intelligence Committee will be all over his ass come January.
