Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker made nearly $1M working for controversial group, new records show
Last year, before joining the Justice Department and taking a government salary, now-Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker made nearly a million dollars in salary while leading a tax-exempt organization that allegedly advocated right-wing positions.
The disclosure comes in financial reports the Justice Department sent to congressional committees late Tuesday afternoon – after DOJ revised the documents five times in the past two weeks, the documents show.
The reports say Whitaker received $904,000 in salary from the Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust, where he served as president and executive.
COMMENT:-
Now what could possibly be suspicious about someone receiving bundles of money from a "charity" that doesn't spend a dime towards its stated objectives, doesn't have any employees, and some of whose "Board of Governors" members didn't know that they were on the "Board of Governors"?
I mean the facts that the "someone" is actually the only person who received any money from the "charity" and that that "someone" was the sole person who authorized the expenditures of that "charity" only reinforce the completely proper conduct of that "charity" - right?

What is controversial about a tax-exempt organization that advocates right-wing positions?
Oh...and is FACT a "charity" because AP says they are? Here is what FACT says about themselves: "FACT is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting accountability, ethics, and transparency in government and civic arenas." https://www.factdc.org/
Doesn't sound like a charity to me.
So what?From ABC News

I did put the word "charity" in quotation marks, but I'll accept your point. and rephrase my comment as

After reviewing the above, I'm still of the opinion that the entire "non-profit" is a tax scam.
What's it look like to you?
Nope, not at all. People have a right to work, he exercised it. Again: So what?Indeed "That's DIFFERENT!!!".

The Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust (FACT) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization
Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations.
Have you informed the Clintons and Obamas on your opinion yet?
Nope, not at all. People have a right to work, he exercised it. Again: So what?
From their "About" page:
Why did you leave out the bolded part?
Maybe it's because a 501(c)(3) is aka a "charity."

If you think that it was wrong for the Clintons and Obamas to do it (assuming that they did [for which there is no evidence {a lot of accusations, but no evidence}]) why do you think that it is OK for Mr. Whittaker to do it?
I know, because "That's DIFFERENT!!!".
Didn't say that it was neither right nor wrong, just felt your strong opinion should be forwarded to the Clintons and the Obamas ... (grin)
