ROMPIENDO: el AG en funciones, Matthew Whitaker, ¡ESTÁ CLARO para supervisar la investigación de Rusia!


El Departamento de Justicia concluyó que Matthew Whitaker NO necesita recusarse de la investigación de Rusia y puede supervisarlo oficialmente:
CNN – Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker has consulted with ethics officials at the Justice Department and they have advised him he does not need to recuse himself from overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, a source familiar with the process told CNN Thursday.
The source added Whitaker has been in ongoing discussions with ethics officials since taking the job in early November following the ouster of Jeff Sessions, who had stepped aside from overseeing the investigation due to his role as a Trump campaign surrogate during the 2016 election.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein oversaw the investigation following Sessions’ recusal and his office is still managing the investigation on a day-to-day basis, as CNN has previously reported.
When, exactly, ethics officials signed off on Whitaker’s role was not immediately clear, but as of last month, he had not stepped aside from participating in significant developments in the Russia investigation. He was informed ahead of time that Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen would plead guilty to lying to Congress about the proposed Trump Tower project in Moscow.
Whitaker is expected to inform senators, many of whom have raised ethics concerns given his past criticism of Mueller’s investigation, about this development later Thursday, the source said.
Bueno, esto es lo que esperábamos que sucediera. Pero los demócratas y los medios seguramente se pondrán furiosos al respecto, ya que creen que Robert Mueller y Rod Rosenstein están tratando de salvar la república de Trump ... o algo así.

Espere muchos chirridos de los demócratas hoy y en el futuro previsible.

No se olvide que todavía hay una demanda por parte de los demócratas del Senado que intenta bloquear el nombramiento de Whitaker debido a que el Senado nunca lo ha confirmado para ningún trabajo y creen que se requiere que actúe como AG.

"I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
