Salon: “Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker grovels
before Trump at first Cabinet meeting … blind loyalty is dangerous. Whitaker

look into the Trump family’s finances would be a ‘red line.’ Every time
Whitaker grovels to Trump, his ability to oversee that investigation fairly is
plunged into grave doubt.”

2016 … Trump’s public request for Russian help in finding Hillary Clinton’s
emails was a violation of US law.”
The Guardian: “Republican probe of alleged FBI bias
ends with a whimper. Committee chairs issue just a letter rather than final
report after inquiry was condemned as a ploy to undermine Robert Mueller.”
