I still think Whitaker is a criminal informant for Mueller. The ethics ruling doesn't necessarily change my theory. The legal speak seems to me to back up the theory especially the tone. These guys (Trump and Whitaker) may just be too stupid to understand that he's spying for Mueller.
Exclusive: Whitaker told he does not need to recuse himself from overseeing Mueller investigation
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.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein oversaw the investigation following Sessions' recusal and his office is still managing the investigation on a day-to-day basis, as CNN has previously reported.
