The continuing of Trump's version of the Saturday Night Massacre with a feckless amoral complicit GOP remaining silent: Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker has no intention of recusing himself from overseeing the special counsel probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people close to him who added they do not believe he would approve any subpoena of President Trump as part of that investigation. www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trumps-acting-attorney-general-matt-whitaker-has-no-intention-of-recusing-from-russia-probe-associates-say/2018/11/08/a5bc8d90-e370-11e8-ab2c-b31dcd53ca6b_story.htmlActing AG Whitaker = political hack: Whitaker worked for a time with a Miami-based invention-marketing company that was shut down last year by the FTC, which called it a “scam.” The Miami New Times’s Brittany Shammas reports: “Whitaker not only sat on the board of World Patent Marketing but also once sent a threatening email to a former customer who had complained after he spent thousands of dollars and did not receive the promised services. Court records obtained by New Times for a 2017 feature about the fraudulent company show that in an August 2015 email to a disgruntled customer, Whitaker touted his background as a former federal attorney and suggested that filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and ‘smearing’ the company online could result in ‘serious civil and criminal consequences.’ ”

BLUF: "Yes, it can be rough when courts get hung up on precedent. There is no appetite on the D.C. Circuit to spit in the faces of these precedents. Don’t look for any justices to be itching to revisit them either." www.lawfareblog.com/dc-circuit-considers-constitutionality-bob-muellers-appointmentThe D.C. Circuit makes mincemeat out of the lawyers representing Andrew Miller (Roger Stone associate) and Concord Management (amici) who are challenging the appointment of Mueller as special counsel. Co-written by George Conway the husband of Kellyanne Conway (liar paid with your tax dollars).

Whitaker’s conduct will determine whether he is remembered like Robert Kennedy—who overcame inexperience, a partisan background and close ties to the president to lead the department with distinction—or Harry Daugherty, Warren Harding’s campaign manager and corrupt attorney general who helped cover up the Teapot Dome scandal. But Whitaker is not the only one facing a test of character; Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and FBI Director Chris Wray do as well. While their actions to date have not been free from criticism, both Wray and Rosenstein have shown a willingness to defend the department and the bureau against inappropriate political attacks. Rosenstein in particular has publicly defended Mueller and his investigation. Going forward, they both need to convey forcefully to Acting Attorney General Whitaker why the institutional interests of the department require that Mueller be allowed to pursue his investigation unfettered. www.lawfareblog.com/test-character-justice-department

And that means that the Trump campaign spent the latter portion of the 2016 election interacting with and even defending and promoting the works of an organization run by a man the U.S. government now believes is a criminal. This would be shocking, but for the fact that the Trump campaign in 2016 was managed for a while by a man the U.S. government now KNOWS is a criminal.

Likelihood of Whitaker following the RFK model rather than the Harry Daugherty model - one in a googol. Is that the same RFK model that authorized the wiretapping of Dr. King and the banging of Marilyn Monroe after his brother tossed her aside? RFK authorized the banging of Marilyn Monroe? By whom? Yeah, I know what you're saying. Tell me how that's relevant to anything at all. And also tell me that, had you been an adult in the early 1960's you would not have supported the wiretapping of Dr. King. Go ahead, make my day.

RFK was a model of the corrupt fixers everyone seems to decry. He took Marilyn as Sloppy Seconds after his Satyr brother was through.
