This could be an indicator of what's coming soon...

President Trump on Sunday said he is giving acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker free rein over special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, including limiting or shutting down the investigation.
“It’s going to be up to him,” Mr. Trump said in an interview aired on Fox News Sunday.” “I wouldn’t get involved.”
No wonder Democrat Senators filed a lawsuit today, to get Whitaker removed.
For an Acting Attorney General who hasn't done anything, the mainstream media sure is attacking the guy.

The lawyers told the justices that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should be the acting attorney general.

Unsuccessful in their attempt to pressure Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker into recusing himself from overseeing the Mueller Probe, the Democrats argued Whitaker’s appointment was unconstitutional under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. Unfortunately for them, the DOJ shot down that contention as well.
Ever resourceful, Democrats have a new plan to vanquish their newest enemy. Liberal watchdog group, American Oversight (AO), filed a complaint last week with the Office of the Special Counsel (OSC) accusing Whitaker of violating the Hatch Act.

The Justice Department is urging the Supreme Court to turn down — at least for now — a chance to weigh in on whether President Donald Trump acted legally when he installed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, as acting attorney general earlier this month after demanding Sessions’ resignation.
Litigants in several different courts have questioned the legality of Trump’s move, but Solicitor General Noel Francisco told the Supreme Court on Monday that it should stay out of the fray until lower courts had a chance to weigh in.
“No court — in this case or any other — has previously addressed the questions petitioner seeks to inject here,” Francisco wrote. “The Court therefore should decline petitioner’s request to address those matters in the first instance in this suit.”

Then Comey went from being an evil cretin for hurting Hillary to a knight in shining armor as soon as Trump fired him. Strzok and Page were defended tooth and nail. When Sessions left, he was suddenly the Savior of the Universe, and now Whittaker is under direct attack.
And every time someone even thinks that there is a possibility in any of four hundred alternate realities that anyone might someday make a side comment about Mueller, it's on like Donkey Kong! Mueller is about the only establishment FBI guy left. Kinda telling if you ask me.

Today, a Judge (federal judge?) ruled that Matthew Whitaker's appointment as Acting Attorney General is Constitutional.

I wonder how long it will take for the Anti-America terrorists in Mainstream Media to report this?

Democrats are guaranteeing themselves a huge loss of power in 2020. The vast majority didn't campaign in their local districts with promises of "We'll get Trump!". Not even nutjob Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is obsessed like Waters, Pelosi and Cummings are to hurt the U.S. President.
