Schumer asks for probe into Whitaker's White House contacts
ABC "News" ^ | November 20, 2018 | By MICHAEL BALSAMO

The Senate's top Democrat asked the Justice Department's watchdog on Tuesday to open an investigation into communications between acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and the White House.

In a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Schumer said he wants IG investigators to look into whether Whitaker had access to confidential grand jury information in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. Schumer also wants investigators to examine whether Whitaker shared any information with Trump or others in the administration.

"I am also concerned that Mr. Whitaker, who has thus far declined to recuse himself from the Special Counsel investigation, may intend to interfere in or obstruct the investigation in other ways," Schumer wrote.

How about a probe of Schumer’s $50,000 cash gift from Facebook along with a job for his daughter.

If we are going to have nothing but endless calls for investigations, harassment, adversarial fake hearings from the House, and on and on, then Trump should return the favor and start investigations of various members of Congress and their staffs. Who knows what conspiracies, links to foreign powers, and Soros might be found.

You might as well get used to it for the next two years. President Trump won’t be able to pass gas without a call for an investigation looking for an impeachable offense.

Uh -- whut?

If Whitaker reports to the President of the United States, he's supposed to communicate with him. WTF?

“For some reason Matt Whitaker as AG scares the slimeball left SChiffless.”

That is because Matt Whitaker is supposedly the guy who is going to be at the Realm when much of the Deep state is brought to justice. Justice that will never happen if evil deep state actors like Schumer can find a way to stop it.

They were willing to cheat in the elections like never before, no matter the risk of getting caught. Because their very survival relies on preventing their being exposed and brought to justice. Every thing they are doing right now is about survival. They need to destroy everything and everyone good in order to achieve that. They are purely evil.
