What is more the problem is if Whitaker does things to narrow the investigation or cut funding, so the investigation isn't shut down, just crippled. I wonder if the House can do anything about that.

Then when Mueller does issue a report, will the public get to see it? We should. I hope the House can make sure of that.

I'm not confident, though, that Trump will be found to have conspired with Russia. It's very hard to get the guy at the top. They keep an arm's length from the day to day crimes. That's what the inner circle is for.

Trump was advised he can appoint an "acting" AG, which doesn't require Senate approval. Honeycombe8 Nov 2018 #9

For how long before he has to replace this temporary "acting" one with a permanent one Rhiannon12866 Nov 2018 #10

An "acting" AG has some number of days to serve...less than a year. Honeycombe8 Nov 2018 #11
