Spotted at the Trump Hotel earlier tonight – Matt Whitaker, post-testimony.

Let’s see, can we improve on that at all? Matt Whitaker after that grotesque performance at the hearing going to the Trump Hotel and…ordering the dolphin steak, painting “Mueller is a witch-hunter!!” on the wall, wearing a “Bring Back Rape!” T shirt?
Not that I’m doubting this person – the level of sleaze is entirely in keeping with what we already know – but a photo would have been very useful.
So let’s review:
AG Lynch has a 20-minute discussion with Bill Clinton on a tarmac, and even though both of them swear the subject of the Hillary emailz investigation never came up, that isn’t good enough. Appearance of impropriety! Lynch must be kept out of the decision-making process, and James Comey trusted to make all final decisions himself without consulting his superiors.
Trump openly complained that his original AG wouldn’t squash the Russia investigation, and has now had conversations with the acting AG (who got that position because he wrote publicly about it being a witchhunt) about the investigation that we’re not allowed to find out about, because the acting AG just told Congress to fuck off before swanning over to Trump’s hotel to get attaboys from everyone. Meanwhile the Senate is considering Trump’s nomination of a new AG, who also got that nomination because he wrote a lengthy memo to the DOJ and the president’s legal team on the subject just for shits and giggles. No impropriety there, nosiree!
Screechy, there is only one possible solution to what you just described:
Lock her up!
(Just sayin’, that’s all).
