To say Matt Whitaker is unfit to serve as acting Attorney General is to understate the obvious. He thinks the judiciary is not an equal part of government and he believes all judges should be Christian. He doesn’t believe that the Supreme Court is the last word on what the law is. He also theoretically will have access to all the cases in the Attorney General’s office. This would not only include the Mueller investigation but also perhaps anything pending against his old employer the phony invention scam business of which he was intimately involved.
He could, I guess, try to claim he didn’t know that the operation was a scam; except, he was the guy who signed the letters to former clients wanting their money back that they could be subject to legal action if they, essentially, went public (with the scam.) That would be a hard lift, but then again, brazen lying and theft are part of what this administration is all about.
One of the things one of the former prosecutor turned pundit (we have a lot of them after Trump fired many of them) was the statement that prosecutors don’t believe in coincidence. Wow. That’s pretty powerful stuff. So let’s put on our prosecutorial hats and think about this.
Is it a coincidence that Trump picked this guy?
He also picked him to be Sessions’ Chief of Staff.
Then he picked him to be acting AG skipping over the usual line of succession.
Whitaker’s last job was for a group calling themselves FACT. He was the only employee. He was being paid by dark money funneled through this group. What was the purpose of this group? To give Whitaker something to put below his name when he was on Fox News and other right wing cable news outlets.
If none of this is a coincidence then it’s a conspiracy.
Did I mention that Richard Nixon was charged with lying to the American people? David Corn said that if so Trump could be charged over 6,000 times since September.
I was reading a paper on the Teotihuacan, the place of ancient pyramids north of Mexico City. No one knows who the people were that built those pyramids. The Aztecs thought they were built by gods. There doesn’t seem to be any defensive fortifications and therefore the speculation as to what bound these people together is a mystery, but one thing struck me in what this paper said. People are bound together by religion and or military power. They are united by myth. At least the lower class is feed the myth. For those in power it’s more of a “better safe than sorry” attitude or a “why not? It works” sort of thing. I mean why not pray to the gods if people will follow you if you do?
