Reuters ^ | November 7, 2018

Posted on 11/07/2018 12:57:47 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker should recuse himself from oversight of the Russia probe.

“Given his previous comments advocating defunding and imposing limitations on the Mueller investigation, Mr. Whitaker should recuse himself from its oversight for the duration of his time as acting attorney general,” Schumer said in a statement.

Sure, absolutely, Ill recuse myself. I don’t have the time to oversee the Mueller probe anyway as I will be busy overseeing the Special Counsel Probe(s) into:

The Kavanaugh Accusers and anyone who abetter them and any matter related thereto.

The Dossier, the subsequent issuance of the FISA warrant and any matters related thereto including but limited to the circumstances leading up to the appointment of Mr. Mueller.

Thanks for the suggestion Chuck. Oh, and keep on working with DiFi to smear those nominees. It is very effective.

No one has mentioned it, but the biggest loser of the night was Schumer, who will unlikely ever be Majority leader!

Gosh, it’s too bad that the dems did not do so well in the Senate elections this year, since the Senate is where all Presidential nominees are confirmed. At least they can still filibuster Trump’s AG nominee.

Oh wait, the last time that the dems controlled the Senate, Harry Reid unilaterally abolished the filibuster. Never mind.

Why? Schumer could bully the elf Jeff Sessions, but there never was a basis for Sessions to recuse himself, he only did it on the basis of intimidation by Schumer and others.

We expect Acting AG Whitaker to be made of sterner stuff.

Chuckie had to say it. He can’t help himself....He’s a mind numbed robot. He’s on automatic. He made a deal with the devil and the devil put him on automatic.

Trump needs to invite Devin Nunes to The White House. Make a big deal about it to the media. Make it very public that all info requested by Mr Nunes will be served up by the New DOJ within one week.

ALL FISA warrants. There are four of them. And everything else that Nunes wants he gets.

What Mueller is doing is buying time for the criminal offenses of him and a long list of clintonista criminal representatives to run out. The Clinton campaign, aided by criminals like Brennan and comey and Ohr and McCabe, etc. were colluding, yet Mueller’s partisan goon squad ignores ALL of that. Time for Schumer to join McInsane at their father’s place ...
