Matthew Whitaker, who replaced the now-fired Jeff Sessions as acting attorney general fewer than 24 hours after last week's midterm elections, is an uncompromising Trump loyalist and longtime Robert Mueller critic, installed in the position for the specific purpose of undermining the special counsel's investigation and, if necessary, bringing it to a swift, dramatic, and premature conclusion. His presence in the Department of Justice is now perhaps the single greatest threat to the rule of law in this country, other than the continued presence in the White House of his crimes-happy benefactor.
In a pitch-perfect Trumpian twist, it turns out that before ascending to his current role, Matthew Whitaker was also a cartoonish, grifting dope who shilled for a company that hawked time-travel cryptocurrencies, Bigfoot dolls, and toilets specially designed for men with big dicks—and that was shut down for good and paid a $26 million fine to the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year for its alleged wrongdoing.

I don't understand why this isn't a bigger story. Democracy literally died this week. The king can literally install someone in his kingdom to help make him, the primary servant of the people, impervious to accountability to the people, whom he is supposed to serve. Are we so numb to the absurd?

he's actually done nothing to threaten Mueller
How do you know this?
LOL!!
If he had, the Trump haters would know about it.
When you keep in mind that Whitaker is the "Acting" AG and that he's actually done nothing to threaten Mueller, all your fears and hyperbole looks pretty stupid.
Let not your heart be troubled...at least until Trump names his ACTUAL AG nomination.
Sort of numb, but I think at a certain point we realized that only by voting Republicans out of power could anything change since Republicans obviously weren't going to be shamed into doing the right thing...
LOL!!

He like mot of those working for this president is under investigation. Does not surprise me that trump picked someone who can do Trump's dirty work and then Trump can fire him for cause.
LOL, yet another hyperventilating LW wail about Whitaker. Waa, waa, he's critical of Mueller, so friggin'? WHAT? He's not alone in that opinion. You guys keep clinging to Mueller as the knight in shining armor on a white stallion poised to charge into battle to save us from the evil Sir Donald of Trump. Relax, Mueller isn't getting fired; at worst he may get told to focus on the job he was given over a year ago:https://www.gq.com/story/matthew-whitaker-is-the-toilet-attorney-general

Do y’all liberals ever get tired of making stupid predictions about Trump that never come true.
Please give one of these idiotic liberal predictions that have ever came true.
Like he will start a nuclear war, he will crash the economy, he will load up immigrants, you know the long list of predictions, tell us one that y’all got right!

Good thing Obama left his pen behind and I'm sure Trump can spell VETO or at least can ask the military officer that carries the nuclear football for him. :lamoSort of numb, but I think at a certain point we realized that only by voting Republicans out of power could anything change since Republicans obviously weren't going to be shamed into doing the right thing.
If we had failed to take back the House (at least), then it could certainly be argued that we've been numbed into accepting such overt corruption.
You have a future in fiction writing, your imagination is amazing. :lamoHe like mot of those working for this president is under investigation. Does not surprise me that trump picked someone who can do Trump's dirty work and then Trump can fire him for cause.

Well, in the eyes of the hysterical left wing Whitaker actually suggested that Mueller get on with actually investigating the "collusion" between Trump campaign and the Russia government which, I think, most lefties don't even believe anymore given all the crap that has come out about the corruption in the DOJ and FBI under Obama. All the LW is hoping for now is a Hail Mary discovery of something worthy of congressional action.When you keep in mind that Whitaker is the "Acting" AG and that he's actually done nothing to threaten Mueller, all your fears and hyperbole looks pretty stupid.

investigate the alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
He's a con-man and Trump sycophant.
He doesn't 'believe' in Marbury vs. Madison, and thinks the judicial branch should be a lesser branch than the executive.
He was an apparantly crappy lawyer while at the DOJ.
His last private sector gig is now under federal criminal investigation by the FBI after being shut down and fined by the FTC. He failed to respond to subpoenas, twice, in matters related to that.
He doesn't believe non-Christians can be good judges.
The list goes on and on.
LOL!!
If he had, the Trump haters would know about it.

LOL, because Bill Palmer says so based on something Rachel Maddow says? Sorry, no.
Matt is a Trump lackey who's risen well above his level of incompetence. To wit:Who is Matthew Whitaker, the new acting attorney general?
