Keep in mind that Whitaker is the acting AG. I believe he can only stay in that position for 90 days before a permanent replacement is named ... and he can't be the permanent replacement, either.

But as an “Acting” isn’t he automatically replaced (if no nominee is yet approved) by the ranking: The Solicitor General.

That will also make Schumer’s head explode.

Why can’t he be appointed? Just curious. It seems like if he’s experienced and qualified it would be a natural step up.

Sessions should have had the common decency to resign when he realized how he was being played by the DOJ/FBI bureaucracy. Arrogance, ignorance or apathy on the part of Sessions? Who knows but glad he is gone, that was two wasted years.

House of Representatives no matter who is in control can do nothing to stop the JD from their ability to indict and bring to trial anyone they choose.

“It took 2 years, but Trump finally is starting to get his own people in the corrupt DOJ”

Precisely - especially that part about the ‘corrupt DOJ’.

From the Acting Attorney General - Sounds like we need to drop "Acting" from his title immediately.

He can be recess appointed at the end of December when Congress adjourns sine die, and stay there for a year.

Whitaker is an outsider to the DC Swamp and has no loyalties to corrupt DoJ and FBI officials.
