Matthew Whitaker wins the highly competitive race for Turkey of this holiday season.

Whitaker was a former U.S. attorney with a modest legal practice in Iowa that paid him $79,000 that year, according to a later disclosure he filed for a failed Senate bid.

So how did he become the sole employee of a charity that paid him $1.2 million last year?

It appears that his job description was to beat up on liberals, including Hillary Clinton.  It’s kinda the exact opposite of what I do except for that $1.2 million thing.

Now here’s the deal. The group, which really ain’t a group being as how they have only one employee, first filed for tax-exempt status under another name and said they were going to study the effect of environmental regulations on businesses.  They did diddle squat for a year and only existed with a post office box. Then they changed their name and hired Whitaker.

Now here’s the giant deal: they do not have to disclose who gives them money.  Is it Adelson? Mercer? Gladys Knight and the Pips?

The devil himself?

We now have a political hack running the justice department.  You know, like every other department in the government.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
