The thing about Whitaker, is that he apparently has a very suspicious background.
The DOJ, NIA, CIA, & FBI just got exposed as having committed crimes, engaging in a conspiracy, Obstructing Justice, etc.... From leaks, to text messages, to testimony under oath, to whistleblowers.....the secret dirt and the unethical, immoral, and even criminal make-up of those groomed within these organizations and who have led / lead them has been exposed.
Whittaker, Mueller, Comey, Wray, McCabe, Strzok, Brennan, Clapper....none of them are 'boy scouts'. All of them have engaged in criminal activity to some degree or the other at some point. The only thing shocking is the elective outrage and the faux surprise / shock by snowflakes when something comes out about those who are not part of their inner criminal ideological circle.
Take Brennan, for example - not because he worked for Obama or anything but just take BRENNAN individually: Who gives a damn what his motivations were, why he did it or who he did it for - He and the CIA - a 'trusted' agency / Director in the US government - illegally spied on US Citizens, reporters, the media, US SENATORS, and USSC JUSTICES.....he lied about it - perjured himself before Congress (twice)...and got caught. He was forced to stand in font of Congress and admit he had lied and he had spied n the US Senate.
That is an AMERICAN proving to have been a threat to our democracy / Constitutional rights, one who betrayed us all. Again, screw 'whose side' he was on, what administration he was working for - he betrayed this nation, us, our government....all of us.
We are f*ing idiots if we allow partisan BS force us to pick sides, for anyone to defend him for what he did. Screw tying him to anyone else politically - HE, himself, should have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law!
If Whitaker broke the law the same goes for him. At the least, unless he has a damn good appropriate reason (not excuse) for this then he should at the least be removed from his position as acting US AG - politics and partisanship be damned.
I don't want a DEMOCRAT as the next US AG. I don't want a REPUBLICAN as the next US AG. I don't want someone loyal to the agency they work for 1st and America 2nd...or 3d behind party loyalty. I want a truly objective, honest, moral, ethical (as much as possible) Country-1st Rep.
