Sessions' CoS who fired Boente has called for Mueller to be reined in & Hillary to be investigated

Matthew Whitaker was named Sessions' new chief of staff several weeks ago, in mid-September.

Whitaker wrote this about five weeks before he got that new job:

CNN, August 6, 2017: "Mueller's investigation of Trump is going too far"

And here are just two examples of many where Whitaker called for Hillary Clinton to be investigated, the more recent one just a couple of weeks before he became Sessions' CoS:


The Hill, August 30, 2017: "Hillary Clinton's Ukrainian connection a question worth exploring"

Washington Times, May 10, 2016: "Head of D.C. watchdog group renews call for special prosecutor in Clinton email case"

I think it's likely that Whitaker would have known weeks in advance that he was in line to replace Jody Hunt, Session' first chief of staff. Which would mean he was recommending that Mueller's investigation be limited, and Hillary Clinton be investigated, when he knew he would soon be able to act as Sessions' right-hand man in taking action against them.
