Yeah, he's a radical partisan who is, surprisingly, worse than Jeff Sessions when it comes to ideology, but that comes in behind the lack of qualifications and the unconstitutionality of his appointment. But it plays great to the base. 'Sessions wouldn't stop this bogus investigation, so here's a REAL guy... aw look, the Dems are trying to block it!'

Yea, not having Rosenstein be the acting AG was an odd move, especially since Whitaker's experience is a year as Session's chief of staff and 5 years of being a US attorney in Iowa over a decade ago. He certainly isn't qualified to be AG, but he's just acting and isn't any less qualified than Dana Boente was as acting AG for a month.

When everyone you promote has huge red flags and people react accordingly, you convince your base that it's all noise and not real.

Rosenstein would've never been given the spot because Trump hates him. More likely the Solicitor General should have been in the role.

RE: Jeff Sessions Resigns - GMDino - 12-27-2018 https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/wsj-whitaker-fudged-academic-honors-on-resume-gov-documents Quote:Acting Attorney General and former hot tub salesman Matthew Whitaker claimed he earned “All-American” academic honors during his University of Iowa football days on his resume and on government applications, but there’s no record of it being true, the Wall Street Journal found. Lied on his resume and was part of a scam business operation. No wonder DJT loves him.

You should hear how many people tell me they were state placers when I tell them I wrestled. It's one of those things where over the years the accolades slowly grow, and probably once were there at a smaller level they kind of grew over time.

I'd generally agree but it also involved his academic record. |
