I would not trust this Acting AG to find anything if it helps Trump.

Really? Why? I thought I heard this is a *good guy* ?
"It’s unclear why Trump chose Boente, a longtime Justice Department lawyer who seemed to hold no greater ambition than keeping his job as U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. President Obama had spelled out a succession order in January that listed the three other U.S. attorneys as being in line to succeed the attorney general should something happen, though Trump, of course, had the option to pick his own person."
Trump (Sessions) skipped over several others to appoint Boente. And Sessions seems comfortable having him as his active deputy until his guy gets on-board. We will see if the trust is well-founded or not.
