This morning, during one of his now famous Helicopter-Whining-In-The-Background press gaggles, Trump disavowed even knowing Matthew Whitaker, who he had just appointed as acting Attorney General of the United States.  That’s right, folks – Donald Only the Finest People Trump just appointed a guy to the Justice Department that he says he doesn’t know.  Which is funny, since Whitaker has visited him several times in the Oval Office.

Trump has been receiving withering criticism from all sides for Whitaker’s appointment which jumped him over a number of highly qualified professionals in an unprecedented move to obstruct justice, since as a Fox Noise talking head, Whitaker has argued vehemently that the Mueller investigation should stop and that Hillary should be in jail.  What a sweetheart.

Anyhoo, the fat lady ain’t sung on this one yet, and I predict it won’t end well, for Whitaker, anyway, since everything Trump touches dies.

The White House released Jeff Sessions undated resignation letter today, throwing the government once again into absolute chaos after a frenzied election day that ended less that 12 hours earlier.  After forcing out Sessions, Trump named a radical partisan talking head, Matthew Whitaker as interim AG.  Whitaker has often talked on television about how the Mueller investigation is too far reaching and that he would have indicted Hillary Clinton for her emails.  What a great choice as the US’s top cop.  The drinking game continues where you name the absolute worst person Trump could name for a top job, then when that person is named, DRINK!  This is how the day began (after he threatened to use his political power in the Senate to retaliate if House Democrats dare investigate him for his numerous violations of the rule of law and common decency.

It’s clear now that Trump is going to try to shut down the Mueller investigation.  I’m hoping Mueller is about done, if he’s not, he better hurry.

Tomorrow, we’ll be talking about Trump’s meltdown during the press conference today.  That’s worth a post only about that.
