Acting AG Whitaker Cleared to Oversee Mueller Investigation

[The Purge]

Now, let's reign in this dictator and keep him looking for collusion, and not tax fraud, or more perjury traps just to make misleading MSM headlines!

Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker has been cleared to oversee the Mueller Russia probe.

CNN reported that acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker has consulted with ethics officials at the Justice Department and they have advised him he does not need to recuse himself from overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, a source familiar with the process told CNN Thursday.

The source added Whitaker has been in ongoing discussions with ethics officials since taking the job in early November following the ouster of Jeff Sessions, who had stepped aside from overseeing the investigation due to his role as a Trump campaign surrogate during the 2016 election.

From NBC News

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has concluded that Matt Whitaker, appointed by President Donald Trump as the acting attorney general, had no reason to recuse and is overseeing Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation, according to a person familiar with the decision on Thursday.

Formal notice of his role was expected to come in a letter to congressional Democrats who had said his critical comments about the Mueller investigation, made when he was a conservative commentator, require him to recuse — that is, to take himself out of any supervision of the case.

So the left wants to ensure another Recuse AG so they can investigate anything they please as they already have done.

Perhaps they can find a way to try people for stealing milk money as a kid..........when they deny it they will say they are lying to the FBI and then turn the screws.

appearance of impropriet

Lord knows the left can't function without EMOTION.
No actual conflict but it LOOKS LIKE IT so better to recuse than piss off a leftie who can't tell the difference?

Whitaker will not recuse himself from Russia probe, despite ethics advice that he should

So then, please explain this:

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has concluded that Matt Whitaker, appointed by President Donald Trump as the acting attorney general, had no legal reason to recuse and is overseeing Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation, according to a person familiar with the decision on Thursday.

However, an agency ethics adviser told Whitaker it was a “close call” and recommended that he step aside — a recommendation Whitaker declined to follow, according to a senior Justice Department official.

Formal notice of his role was expected to come in a letter to congressional Democrats who had said his critical comments about the Mueller investigation, made when he was a conservative commentator, require him to recuse — that is, to take himself out of any supervision of the case.

Now, let's see what he actually does.

Well someone sure needs to oversee Mueller.

Now, let's see what he actually does.

He won't recuse.

The idea that someone who states an earlier opinion on any given matter is precluded from authority over the matter is ridiculous.

And that’s a lie. The Ethics Panel said he should recuse himself. His solution was to find different ethics advisors.

Now Whitaker is going to be investigated up the yin yang over his refusal to recuse himself and he’s going to possibly be facing charges over his failure to do so.

Dumb ass!

Yes there is and he’s refusing to follow some very sound advice. The result is going to be that he will now be under investigation himself, as well he should be.

If he does anything to “rein in” Mueller, he’ll be facing an “obstruction of justice” charge so fast his head will be spinning.

Only because you're a fucking idiot.

Why is that every Republican should recuse themselves from everything? Oh that's right.

Dumb ass!

You're a dumb shit, it is NOT illegal to not recuse oneself. Was it illegal when Loretta Lynch didn't recuse herself from the Clinton investigation?? No it was not illegal.

Why have liberals all turned into such dishonest dumb fucks.
