The Justice Department stated Wednesday that acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker will overtake supervision of special counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday afternoon and replaced him with Whitaker, Sessions chief of staff.
We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well .

Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe in March 2017, much to President Donald Trumps chagrin.
This put the Russia probe in Rosensteins hands, but after Wednesdays development, it was unclear who would now supervise the probe with Sessions gone.
The Acting Attorney General is in charge of all matters under the purview of the Department of Justice, Sarah Isgur Flores, director of public affairs at the DOJ told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Well he did let Antifa and Bernie Bros terrorize
Conservatives, and liberal left coast cities kick
ICE to the curb, and Lib Social media ban conservatives
and Soros act like the murderous racketeer he is and
Not enact legal measures to deport millions of illegals from every benighted corner of the earth
An evil man not willful perhaps by inaction when action was needed
To hell with Mueller. When do we get the multiple ICs to investigate the coup attempt and Clinton Crime, Inc.? I bet Shifty McBugeyes has forgotten all of his plans to subpoena Trump and is setting up a go fund me account for his legal fees.
“Huber was just a scam appointment to take pressure off Sessions so
Sessions would not have to appoint a Special Council.”
Yup. The IG, too.
Yes. Huber isn’t doing anything chess-like. And never has been. Just more bs from the gullible brigade.
I wonder what the topic of conversation will be tonight around the Rosenstein dinner table.
The last syllable of the tattoo inside his left arm is "ki", but I can't read the Kanji.
What will Jeff Sessions talk about on the Sunday shows, his initiative to conserve paper and print toner usage? Mentoring the mail clerk?
“Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe”
Maybe someday Sessions will explain why he did it without telling Trump beforehand.
I believe Sessions to be an honorable but misguided man. I can see him being persuaded by DOJ officials to a plan, once he was in place as AG, to restore legitimacy to the DOJ/FBI by quietly sweeping rampant anti-Trump personalities (McCabe/Strock et al.) under the rug and return to business as usual in the swamp. But those of us who know the truth of the attempted coup will never view the DOJ/FBI as legitimate. And that is the real casualty of this sordid enterprise; loyal Americans left feeling they can no longer trust their government, for we have become a nation of men and not law.
The reason the TRUST SESSIONS thing had some believability is that Trumps a genius and he couldve fired Sessions 18 months ago with no fallout - Why didnt he?
- Geniunely Confused
Good.
Maybe now crooked Hillary and gang will be brought to justice.
He should lose his pension for dereliction of duty
Sessions is/was such an epic mistake!!! Who woulda known??
Absolutely. The IG was a whitewash.
No mention of Huber?
...
Nope...hopefully MSM, Dims forget about him until they turn around and get hit with a sledgehammer about 61,000 times.
I have nothing to offer on Huber. Hopefully someone else will.
The new AG needs to charge Rosenweasel and Mueller...etc ASAP, then the Demonrat House cannot subpoena them due to an ongoing criminal investigation.
