Attorney General Jeff Sessions has appointed as his chief of staff a former federal prosecutor who has written that the special counsel investigation into the Trump administration could be turning into a “witch hunt.”
Matthew Whitaker, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa during the George W. Bush administration, has been appointed as Sessions’ chief of staff, a Justice Department spokesman said Friday.
Whitaker, a CNN legal commentator, wrote last month that President Donald Trump was “absolutely correct” when he said it was a “violation” for special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate the Trump family’s finances.
“Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election-meddling investigation that he is dangerously close to crossing,” Whitaker wrote. “If he were to continue to investigate the financial relationships without a broadened scope in his appointment, then this would raise serious concerns that the special counsel’s investigation was a mere witch hunt.”
Whitaker wrote that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, with whom he’ll now be working closely with as Sessions’ chief of staff, should “act to ensure the investigation is within its jurisdiction and within the authority of the original directive.”(continued)

Meullers investigation is welfare for beltway lawyers who face unemployment without Hillary Inc. They were already spending future paychecks thinking the Clinton graft network would employ their services until the voters issued a stop payment election.

Jeff is watching drone footage of some Nebraska housewife who has an expired hydrocodone prescription in her purse.
Must be thoughts of having Judge Moore quiz Jeff at a senate hearing....
“Where is Jeff hiding out?”
Apparently he’s heavily focused on drug interdiction from what I’ve been picking up on the occasional interviews of various, and assorted administration participants, however am curious if he has something against gum, or walking simultaneously.

“Make it so” was a standard phrase used by British naval officers.
So should Jeff Sessions “make it so”.
Well then Whitaker, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Your “recused” and meek, timid boss sure as hell won’t.
Ef Sessions....
Gee, Jeffy, ya think?
Turning into?
It was a witch-hunt from day one.
Mathew seems to be starting out on the right foot. Now lets take this thing all the way.
