Whitaker is a former United States attorney from Iowa. He was appointed as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa in 2004 by President George W. Bush, according to the Department of Justice.
The Des Moines native is a former college football player who earned his undergraduate, business and law school degrees from the University of Iowa. Whitaker also ran in Iowa for United States Senate in 2014 but lost the Republican primary to Joni Ernst, who later won the seat.
The news that Jeff Sessions had submitted his resignation and was out as US AG had not even been fully reported yet when D-Chucky Schumer wasted no time demanding that Whittaker recuse himself from overseeing the Russian Witch Hunt being run by Mueller and, until then, overseen by Rosenstein.
(Ironic - Rosenstein is both a WITNESS and the man overseeing the Trump investigation - almost impossible to come up with a bigger conflict of interest that that - yet not one single Democrat has demanded that he recuse himself.)
Democrats have wasted no time in branding Whitaker as a 'Trump Loyalist' and a 'Mueller critic' who will most probably 'shut Mueller's investigation down'.
"In August 2017, Matthew Whitaker wrote an op-ed for CNN titled “Mueller’s investigation of Trump is going too far,” in which he argued President Donald Trump was “absolutely correct” when he said the special counsel would be crossing the line if he probed the Trump family’s finances as part of the Russia investigation."
Whitaker correctly pointed out that Mueller has abused the almost limitless border / authority to investigate seemingly anything and everything about the President and his family in the name of 'Russian Collusion' in hopes of finding anything they can use to remove the President from office.
The Democrats also do NOT like Whitaker because of THIS:
"In a 2016 op-ed for USA Today, titled “I would indict Hillary Clinton: Opposing View,” Whitaker said he disagreed with then-FBI Director James Comey’s assessment that “no reasonable prosecutor” would have brought a case against the former secretary of state over her use of personal email. “I disagree. I believe myself to have been a reasonable prosecutor, and when the facts and evidence show a criminal violation has been committed, the individuals involved should not dictate whether the case is prosecuted,” Whitaker wrote."
The US IG made the same observation regarding former FBI Director Comey. In the US IG's report he blasted Comey for 'usurping the power of the Justice Department', violating the 'Separation of Power', by making the declaration that HE would not recommend Hillary be indicted for the crimes HE pointed out she had committed.
Whitaker is a much, MUCH better candidate for US AG, even if temporarily, than Sessions. He is not a blindly-partisan individual driven by an agenda / ideology as are the Conspirators who have been trying to take the President down, and that scares the hell out of Schumer and the Democrats / Conspirators.
