Rod Rosenstein is no longer in charge of the Mueller witch hunt and on top of that, his protector, Jeff Sessions was fired by Trump. Sessions said a couple of times that he would resign if Rosenstein was fired. It’s Rosenstein’s turn to do the same. He is heading to the White House and he could resign at that time. Acting Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker is expected to take over the Mueller probe.
That is probably the end of the Mueller investigation. In the past, Whitaker said that Mueller has crossed the red line in his investigation. He said that Mueller does not have to be fired. He said that the AG of the DOJ could just cut his funding, effectively killing the investigation. He also wrote in an op-ed that Hillary Clinton should be indicted. He now has become the Democrat’s worst nightmare.
Trump will nominate someone to take over permanently. Whitaker could be the nominee as well as others. Confirmation of Trump’s nominee will pass through the Senate easily, if not now, in early January, when the new majority takes office.
Via The Daily Beast:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly on his way to the White House after Jeff Sessions was asked to resign Wednesday.
Shortly after Sessions turned in his resignation letter, a US official said the Acting Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker is expected to take over the Mueller probe.
Matthew Whitaker is described as a “Trump loyalist” who has been privately described as the West Wing’s “eyes and ears” in the Justice Department, says the New York Times.
Now that Rosenstein no longer has control over the Mueller probe, he may resign from his position as DAG.
Trump just keeps on winning and Schumer is now weaker than he was before. Not only has he lost Democrats, he has also lost RINOs like Jeff Flake and Bob Corker. That means many of Trump’s judges will be confirmed faster. He could give the courts a conservative slant for two or three decades.
Trump just keeps winning.
