Matt Whittaker, the acting attorney general, is up to his neck buried in corruption.

$900,000 in corrupt mystery money

Matt Whitaker Repeatedly Revised Financial Disclosure Forms Following AG Appointment

The acting attorney general took in hundreds of thousands from a mysteriously funded conservative charity.


Financial disclosure forms published Tuesday evening show that Whitaker took in $900,000 in salary from a “charity” organization that took aim at Democrats on ethics grounds as well as $1,750 in legal fees from a dubious, since-shuttered marketing company accused of fraud.

Whitaker also took in more than $100,000 from his law firm as well as $15,000 from CNN, where he briefly served as a legal commentator who opposed special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

It’s unclear what exact information Whitaker omitted when he first filed the form upon his appointment as Sessions’ chief of staff in late 2017. The most recent changes were made the day after the midterm elections as well as on Nov. 8, Nov. 16, Nov. 19 and Nov. 20.

I truly hope America does not ever, ever have to suffer through an administration as venal and corrupt as this one.

For him and many others involved. He's a crook , and why he was put into his AG position to corrupt as much as he can for trump and others. It will not end well for him.
