Matthew Whitaker, the acting attorney general of the United States and a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, said in a 2016 interview that there is enough evidence "in the public domain" to warrant the appointment of a "special prosecutor" to investigate the Clinton Foundation.
He added that the Foundation was "clearly a pay-to-play situation" where if you gave money to the Foundation, you got "preferential treatment" at the State Department, which was headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2013.
Hillary Clinton's emailing of classified documents through her private computer server was a "serious" problem, but the "real ballgame" is "where Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment," said Whitaker in an Aug. 25, 2016 interview with Breitbart News Daily.

2016.
I told myself I probably should read closer...need to listen to self more... but at least he said it
Yep unlike the Repubs who gave unlimited amount for Mueller to blow.
He can be nominated but has to step down first and has to be confirmed by Senate.
I heard that too, but I’ve heard he isn’t legally acting AG which is wrong. So, you never know, especially from the Leftist media and Dems. If they say it it is probably wrong. And besides, they don’t follow the law, so why should we.
This is why Hillary is talking about running in 2020. When they indict her the left (includes media) will scream that Trump’s afraid to run against her and trying to keep her out of the race.
Political immunity. I’m so onto these crooks.
I like him already!!
Lock her upitty ass up.
Perfect! After Trey Gowdy becomes AG, he can act on Whitaker's "Special Counsel" suggestion. And who better to act as "Special Counsel" then Whitaker himself?
Sounds like PDJT may have outwitted the nitwits on the Left... again!
“said in a 2016 interview that there is enough evidence “in the public domain” to warrant the appointment of a “special prosecutor” to investigate the Clinton Foundation.”

What does Whitaker say in November, 2018?????
“I hope Trump nominates him for AG.”
*********
Looks like Trey Gowdy is in line for that...
Title is misleading. We shouldn’t do fake news tricks to ourselves.
“In 2016, AG Whittiker Said, “
Now that Jeff "The Chess Master" Sessions is gone, is there any reason she can't be charged with those crimes?
EXACTLY!
Appointing a SP wastes so much time & money to do what the DOJ should be doing.
The AG’s right, Special Council is the way to go.
“I am of the opinion that the DOJ should appoint a special prosecutor every time an ‘investigation’ is started by the House.”
I don’t like the whole concept of Special Investigators. Investigations are too open ended. Structure is too loosy-goosy. The DOJ exists to investigate wrong doing, so let the attorneys their do their job.
Grand Juries are good.
That was then, this is now. We’ll see if the two meet.
“After Trey Gowdy becomes AG...”
Oh, no; not him. We want the next AG to accomplish something, not just entertain us with circus acts.
Drop the hammer on her already. Open her and her husband Cletus up to the full body cavity search treatment.
In your title, I wish you would have noted that he stated this a couple of years ago.
