Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHas Whitaker had time to look at all the evidence that Mueller has collected?
Like a good soldier, will he be reporting his information to the Trump when he returns from Europe?
Or will Rosenstein and Mueller try to slow-walk the evidence dispensed until Whitaker is replaced by Chris Christie? Would Christie be worse than Whitaker?
Will Trump simply wait out the controversy until another controversy replaces it? In the end, he will stop the Mueller report from becoming public information?
What's the game plan here?

(Maybe that is why Trump is saying that he "does not know him"? And he is sending a message to Whitaker about how he should respond to such questions?

They are both very corrupt, in my opinion.

(111,097 posts)...Trump will not appoint him. IF Christie is chosen, it is because he and Trump already have a deal, in my opinion.
