"I could have ended it anytime I wanted.
I didn't.
And there was no collusion....
this is a investigation where many many millions of dollars have been spent," Trump says of Mueller.
"I think it's very bad for our country, I'll tell you.
I think its' a shame."

Just like K demonstrated he was/is unqualified for SCOTUS separate from Ford, Trash will be shown to be a criminal, separate from collusion.
Trash lying to his mob cult about no collusion, when that should be the least of his worries.
How far will Trash go now to push Whitaker to shutdown Mueller?
If Trash shuts down Mueller, where will he stop, who would stop him? is there no law involved?
What will the Repugs do? anything?
What can the House Dems do?
Trump's New Attorney General's Former Company Was Condemned as a Scam — and He Threatened Customer for Complaining
Matthew Whitaker once was involved with a Miami invention company that was shuttered by the Federal Trade Commission.
he has a questionable business background.
According to the Miami New Times, Whitaker was involved in a Miami-based "invention" company that
was shut down by the Federal Trade Commission as a scam.
The company, World Patent Marketing, reportedly
took inventors' money
with the promise their ideas would be reviewed by the company's board and
developed into something workable for a cut of the profits,
only to — in many cases — take their money and do basically nothing:
Whitaker not only sat on the board of World Patent Marketing but
also sent a threatening email to a former customer who
had complained after he spent thousands of dollars and
did not receive the promised services.
Court records obtained by New Times for a 2017 feature about the fraudulent company show that in one email to a disgruntled customer,
Whitaker touted his background as a former federal attorney and
declared that filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and
"smearing" the company online could result in "serious civil and criminal consequences."
As the New Times also notes, World Patent Marketing paid Whitaker nearly $10,000 for his involvement, and
additionally, when Whitaker ran for Senate in Iowa in 2014, "Scott Cooper, the CEO and founder of World Patent Marketing, donated $2,600 ... just $100 shy of the limit for an individual to donate to a candidate."
Such a track record ought to raise significant red flags in any candidate to be the nation's top cop — but
given Trump was sued for creating a fake university to scam poor people,
it may not be surprising that this does not bother him.

Why is it not worth listening to?
The traitor criminal will go to any length - just as any other criminal does.
The traitor criminal cannot stop Mueller. The cases have been set in motion and if Mueller is gone, another FBI agent or prosecutor will just take the handoff and continue the cases.
Repukes will do nothing at all. Dems will ask and ask and be ignored by the majority - until January.
After January, the Dems will begin to subpoena whomever they need to get to the bottom of this latest act of obstruction of justice.
If that means holding a hearing and grilling this new Trump cultist traitor -Whittaker -then so be it. They will put him under oath and see what Trump promised him.
From now til January the dems will try and fail to convince any Repukes to grow a spine and speak out.
Judge Andrew Napolitano says that assigning Matthew Whitaker as Acting AG is illegal
the selection of Jeff Session’s former chief of staff Matthew Whitaker as Acting AG may in fact be illegal because he was never confirmed by the Senate.
“Under the law, the person running the Department of Justice must have been approved by the United States Senate for some previous position.
Even on an interim post,” Napolitano said.
Napolitano continued saying that next in line for the position is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
“[Whitaker] was not confirmed by the United States Senate for a leadership position at the Justice Department.
The White House will have to work this out.
Who has been confirmed and who’s next in line?
Deputy attorney general Rosenstein,” he said.
Even if you disagree with Napolitano and feel that as a recess appointment Whitaker can at least serve until the beginning of the new Congress in January,
he would still have a problem under the Presidential Vacancies Act to serve up to 210 days because
now former AG Sessions specifically stated that he didn’t resign,
he was asked to resign which means he was fired and the PVA doesn’t apply.

Trash and his mafiya: "Rules? We don't heed no steenkin rules"
the Daily Moulitsas gets it wrong. it is a recess appointment and Sessions resigned.
Forced to resign.
Resignation nonetheless

Acting AG Matt Whitaker Reportedly Has No Intention in Recusing Himself From Russia Probe
Whitaker would not approve any subpoena made towards President Donald Trump related to the investigation.
Whitaker was formerly Sessions’ chief of staff, but critics have questioned
his previous comments about the Mueller probe and suggestions he’s made about draining Mueller’s funding.

Ken Starr says acting AG Whitaker wouldn’t dare shut down the Mueller probe — but Jeffrey Toobin’s not buying it
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin clashed with Clinton-era independent counsel Ken Starr on acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker’s lack of credentials, saying
the president had appointed him based solely on his hostility to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s dealings with Russia.
“The question that is, I think, troubling to a lot of people is
why was he appointed,”
Toobin continued,
he has been critical of the Mueller investigation. Is that really the qualification that an attorney general should have?”

Trump Installs a Critic of the Mueller Investigation to Oversee It
Inside the Justice Department, senior officials, including Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, have viewed Mr. Whitaker with intense su ion.
was seen by department officials as a partisan and a White House spy.
Now Mr. Whitaker will oversee Mr. Mueller’s investigation, prompting concerns that
he could move swiftly to shut it down or hobble it,
despite serious questions about his own potential conflicts in supervising it.
Mr. Whitaker highlighted on Twitter a Philly.com opinion article with the headline “Note to Trump’s Lawyer: Do Not Cooperate With Mueller Lynch Mob.”
Mr. Whitaker argued against legislation that would protect Mr. Mueller’s investigation
“Whitaker’s appointment raises blaring alarms about the acceleration of obstruction of justice and a fundamental attack on the rule of law in our country,”
Mr. Trump because he liked watching Mr. Whitaker express skepticism about aspects of Mr. Mueller’s investigation
on television.
said that if Mr. Mueller began investigating the Trump Organization, “I think that would be crossing the red line.”
Mr. Whitaker has been open about linking religion with legal judgments. In 2014, while running for the Senate in Iowa, Mr. Whitaker said in a debate that he wanted to examine the “worldview” of judges or potential judges: “Are they people of faith? Do they have a biblical view of justice?”
“If they have a secular worldview, where this is all we have here on Earth, then I’m going to be very concerned about that judge,”

The New Attorney General Promoted Hot Tubs for a Scam Company That Got Shut Down by the FTC

"The Best People"
Kellyanne Conway’s husband just shredded Trump over Whitaker in brutal NY Times op-ed
Conway explains that while most of the discussion has focused on the details of the Vacancies Reform Act, which dictates the different ways a President can fill vacancies caused by resignation or firings, the problem with
the President’s actions is that it “defies one of the explicit checks and balances set out in the Cons ution, a provision designed to protect us all against the centralization of government power.”
To prove it,
Conway quoted the President’s “favorite” Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas,
who wrote the following about Trump’s efforts to appoint the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board without Senate confirmation:
“The Cons ution’s drafters, Justice Thomas argued, ‘recognized
the serious risk for abuse and corruption posed by permitting one person to fill every office in the government.’
Which is why, he pointed out, the framers provided for advice and consent of the Senate.”
What goes for a mere lawyer at the N.L.R.B. goes in spades
for the attorney general of the United States, the head of the Justice Department and one of the most important people in the federal government.
Conway tore into the president for
his “evasion of the Cons ution’s very explicit, textually precise design”
and accused him of betraying the structure of our founding do ent.

LAWLESS Trash don't need no steenkin' Cons ution, and nor do the sycophants around him.
there's a rumor about that Chris Christie is being considered to replace Sessions when Congress reconvenes. wouldn't make much sense given that he carries similar baggage as Sessions and would have to recuse, but maybe Mueller won't be around by then.
Any court will consider it a forced resignation.
The (alleged) president orders his AG to turn in his resignation. AG complies and even states it in his resignation letter.
It is a firing.
no, it's a resignation
he could have said "no i wont resign, you'll have to fire me"
he didn't. he resigned
