Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker will not recuse himself from overseeing the Russia probe, despite mounting pressure from Democrats who cite his hostility toward Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation.
A source familiar with the matter told Fox News on Thursday that Whitaker met with Justice Department ethics officials this week, who told him he was not precluded from overseeing Muellers investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election.
Whitaker, who served as chief of staff to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions until Sessions was fired, has faced extreme pressure from Democrats to recuse himself to ensure that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein continues in that role.

Hope so.
“Hi everybody! You’re all fired.”
A grain of good news for the moment.....
We are being shown what we are permitted to see.
We do not know what we do not know
Seriously, this guy should do just that
Clean house
Get rid of Rosenrat as well
Mueller gone
all the democrat operatives gone
If this guy cleans house, he would do President Trump a yuge favor and he can turn it over to Barr in a couple months.
He’s temporary and he owes none of the swamp anything
"Step away from your desks, and place your hands behind your back."
I’d like to see an investigation and the results made public. I can hope and dream....

Big things may be in motion.
It'll also make them step up and vote for a new AG nominee.

Same here, but that will probably never happen
I want to see the DOJ swamp cleaned up
Whitaker might be the man to do it
I think that there is a lot of truth to the claim that most people are sheep and they go about their lives not caring one bit. Unfortunately, complacency has it “reward.”
If Whitaker fires the bad actors (all of them, they know who they are) Barr can prosecute them
But we need step 1, which is get them out of the DOJ right now.
Barr can prosecute them
Thats a joke right? Barr is a Rat stooge get real.
I like it.
I just wish it would be a reality
If I was Whitaker, I would take the initiative and just do it. Sure I will get heat from it from the media and dimms, but President Trump can go on the record and say he didn’t order it.
And it would be my authority to do just that.
I would do on Christmas day as well
[[Democrats who cite his hostility toward Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation.]]
Well too damned bad- how many times have liberals ‘investigated’ themselves on obvious corruption and crimes, been hostile towards republicans, and found ‘no evidence of wrongdoing’? Cry away democrats!
I have no idea what will happen with Barr
If he prosecutes them great, if not, nothing I can do about it.
But my plan if I was Whitaker would get these bad actors out of the government, that is goal #1
Or better yet, "You're all Indicted".
Mueller’s witch hunt will now include Whitaker.
