Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham says acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker told him he is going to "honor regular order" when it comes to special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing Russia investigation.
The two met for a private meeting in his office Thursday afternoon. Whitaker replaces Jeff Sessions, who was ousted last week.
Following the private meeting, Graham told reporters that he doesn't believe Whitaker will do "anything unsavory" when it comes to interfering with the Russia probe.
"I've a lot of confidence that Mr. Mueller will be allowed to do his job and that the legal process that was in place before Mr. Whitaker arrived will be followed," Graham said.
He went on: "And I have every confidence he’ll make reasoned decisions when his time comes and that the investigation is not in jeopardy."
Graham also says Whitaker did not express any reservations about how the Mueller investigation was handled thus far.
"Not at all as far as he knows, no, not at all," Graham said. "He’s seen nothing out of bounds. No concerns at all about Mr. Mueller."
In his new role, Whitaker will now oversee the probe, which he has publicly criticized the probe in the past, including in an August 2017 op-ed for CNN. Sessions had previously recused himself of all Justice Department activity related to the investigation into Russian meddling.
Now, lawmakers are concerned that Whitaker’s objectivity is compromised because of his vocal criticism before joining the administration.

Or maybe he just told this to the faggot to shut him the #### up.
public servants get assurances over the public.
So ask yourself, why does linda want the mueller coup to continue?
Lindsey 2.0....suckers
I wish.....
> “Graham said. “He’s seen nothing out of bounds. No concerns at all about Mr. Mueller.”
Graham is such an ass. He had no need to make this statement.
The people whose lives have been turned upside down by Mueller have something different to say.
I know what you mean.
Gowdy, Sessions and others over the years were the next “hero”
Only Trump has turned out to be one.
I wish Rudy was what he was even 10 years ago.
He’s not aged well and is not up to any task of this magnitude.
He might not be a conservative, but he’s been a supporter of Trump from day one.
There is no “new” Flimsey Grahamnesty.
He will always be a Bush League Republican.
Even when he seems to be doing the right thing occasionally.
He has to run next cycle “with” Trump.
He knows he can’t run against him.
It’s foolish to think he sides with the citizens and the rule of law after being a Cheap Labor Express stooge for his entire Senate tenure.
I simply don’t trust Graham. He’s acting too good so as to fool people.
“New boss same as the old boss. “
Yep.
If Rudy had been 10-15 years younger, he would have been a bulldog as AG.
Uh, the Weasel Mueller Witch Hunt was not kosher DoJustUs protocol as it had no Criminal Law basis, but an Intelligence basis allowed to morph into whatever criminal chit Weasel Mueller could invent. Along with inventing new law.
Mueller is a criminal. RosenWeasel too.
Sessions is a co-conspirator.
I know :(
Linda has to exhibit proper purpose for Ten Years to regain his House Impeachment manager mojo.;
It’s really, really sick what we’re witnessing. Linda and the GOP support the DOJ coup against President Trump. They’ve been supporting it since it’s inception.
The worse PR mistake that Trump/Whitaker could make would be to fire Mueller.
Better left to reach his own conclusion of a nothing-burger, which will reflect on the incompetence and dishonesty of Mueller.
If Trump/Whitaker fires him, it will make them appear to be afraid of the conclusion of this fictitious collusion.
Trump/Whitaker are just playing rope-a-dope with him.
“The worse PR mistake that Trump/Whitaker could make would be to fire Mueller.”
Dead wrong. This is a coup. They had nothing to begin with...now I’m sure they have plenty.
The entire DOJ needs to be gutted. RR and mueller rounded up and sent to gitmo. They’re blackmailing and threatening the President of the United States.
Mueller is just enriching himself and his buddies on staff.
He is double dipping, DOJ pay and what ever per billing hour he gets as SP.
What IS his rate for billable hour?
