Jeff Sessions just announced his resignation as Attorney General - and Trump has nominated Matthew Whitaker as his replacement. Here’s what this means for the Mueller investigation: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Whitaker is poised to take over supervision of the Mueller investigation from Rosenstein - and he has been advocating limiting/shutting down Mueller for a while: cnn.com/2017/08/06/opi…
This is a pretty clear attempt from Trump to seize some control over the investigation. WHITAKER CAN NOT RUN THIS INVESTIGATION. We need to demand that he commit to let Mueller run things independently, or recuse from the investigation like Sessions did.
#TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw. Trump has crossed a red line - and we’re mobilizing. In January, our newly elected MoCs should launch investigations & hearings on day one. And tomorrow at 5 PM (local time), we march in the streets. Find an event near you: trumpisnotabovethelaw.org/event/mueller-…
