Mueller's felony conviction of Trump's top lawyer Cohen raises impt Q: How can DOJ still be hiding the basic fact of whether Whitaker is overseeing Mueller and if he has ethics signoff despite his bias? This is an investigation for the American people. We have a right to know.
I have never seen anything like this. It's beyond unprecedented to hide this basic fact from the American people. It also will legally boomerang: The whole idea behind a strong Executive (what some call a "unitary" exec) is that there needs to be clear lines of accountability.
This is a separate point from the fake AG status of Whitaker. Trump did endrun around Constitution by installing his lackey. But even if we were to ignore that (as Trump does), the American people now don't know who is acting as AG when it comes to supervising Mueller. Basic Q.
The Justice Department right now is complicit in hiding one of the most basic aspects of democracy and governance
And this has massive other consequences-remember Russia already knows all the stuff that Trump's minions lied about. The potential for blackmail and favoritism scary
