'He's a F*cking Fool': Justice Department Officials Trash Matt Whitaker, Their New Boss
Source: Daily Beast
The appointment this week of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general has sparked sharp concerns among lawmakers over the possibility that he may bottle up Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 election.
Inside the Department of Justice, however, the fears are more expansive. Whitaker is seen as a rogue and underqualified new leader whose impact wont just be felt on the Mueller probe but throughout the federal government.
Hes a fucking fool, one trial attorney inside the department said of the new AG. Hes spent so much time trying to suck up to the president to get here. But this is a big job. It comes with many responsibilities. He just simply doesnt have the wherewithal.

Weve seen this over and over again with the Trump administration. They never vet these people, said one former official from the department. It shows that they dont really have a strategy when it comes to these things and then they end up having to backtrack.

(19,204 posts)He's there to protect Der Gropenfuhrer. I think his main purpose is to report what the Mueller investigation has to the White House. Trouble is, Mueller has directed bits and pieces of the case to different venues and different courts. He's not taking everything on himself, and no matter what Whitaker does he won't be able to report whatever state charges are pending on the Trump Crime Family. New York State has their own investigation going on in several Trump Crime Family matters, most importantly the Trump "Foundation", where the entire family is in deep doo-doo.
Don't forget, Whitaker is a good xtian as well, and since dog himself gave the United States Donald Trump as their personal lord and savior he's standing behind Trump 100%. Imagine that, such a good xtian doing consulting work for a company that robs people of their money - many of them Veterans - is certainly doing "dog's work" here on earth. Of course Trump and family are recently converted xtians (or so the fundies say) and saving TrumpCo. from we savage liberals is priority one for the skin-headed dumbass from Iowa. He's as qualified to be Attorney General of the United States as Trump is qualified to be president of same. Not at fucking all!

(4,341 posts)Time after time when the man-child feels that someone has dropped by 1% in their loyalty to him, that they are no longer 100% loyal, he throws them under the bus. So far, not one has escaped that end.
Don't they also realize that working for the man-child is pretty much an end to their professional career, that the world will never see them again as trustworthy individuals, that from that point on they will be seen as partisan hacks and crooks because most people who become part of the cabal the administration has become are crooks.
Whitaker will have to recuse himself, and when he does he will suffer the same humiliation that Sessions suffered, he will be tossed as, and this time it may be true, an incompetent who should have told the man-child he would not recuse, otherwise the man-child could have chosen someone 100% loyal.
Two things I keep having trouble with, 1. Why some women, Hispanics, non-white vote republican, and 2. why does anyone want to be associated with the man-child in any form? What goes through these people's mind? The man-child has proven that he has the "unmidas touch", everything he touches turns to crap.

(47,589 posts)Trump could still throw his/her under the bus, if they aren't beneficial to him or if he doesn't like the way they look on TV.
For many, working for the Trump administration will go down as the worst career decision of their lifetime.

(90,787 posts)who are also unqualified with their own delusions of grandeur.
A megalomaniac and his accompanying sycophants are running the country and holding the rest of us hostage.
And instead of swatting this collection of tabloid topics and game show hosts down they are being treated as legitimate holders of office.

(5,813 posts)are found to be vastly under qualified within a few hours of the announcement. As soon as Whitaker was named, the bad news started oozing out about him. Within hours it was all over TV and the internet what this guys real job is to be. And still tRump stands before the press and acts as though this guy had a sterling reputation. And he has anything but a sterling rep. tRump just talks and acts like if he selects someone, they are the best. Wonder how many more days that Whitaker will last before he is humiliated into stepping aside or at least recusing himself. Another one bites the dust.
Oh, boo hoo.

(11,523 posts)The same goes for Tiny, and that's why I'm so terrified for our country.
As bad as Watergate was, Nixon knew when his days were numbered and finally had the sense to resign. Tiny (and Whitaker) will have to be removed literally at gunpoint. This is going to be a horrible mess for some time to come.

(11,885 posts)By doing anything , and it will become exposed, and he will be charged. He was put into this position to break the law for trump, so if he's that stupid and does he's going to get time. Trumps using him to get what he wants,absolute power over the justice department, or make it the department of trump justice, while McConnell is stacking the kangaroo courts for him now. Those two will end up in prison for their crimes, just a matter of time.

(492 posts)Nixon's AG, who did time after he was convicted of obstruction of justice in the Watergate investigation. Maybe Mitchell and Whitaker can form a club! An exclusive one, with only 2 members. Oh, wait ... Mitchell's dead. But he still did time even though he was the nation's top law enforcement official.
