This is a literal quote from Trump. Anyone who thinks Trump shouldn’t be summarily thrown out of office after reading this should have their head examined:
[Trump] Well, Matt Whitaker, I don’t know Matt Whitaker. Matt Whitaker worked for Jeff Sessions, and he was always extremely highly thought of, and he is still is, but I didn’t know Matt Whitaker. He worked for Attorney General Sessions. He was VERY, VERY highly thought of, and still is highly thought of, but this only comes up because anybody that works for me, they do a number on them. But Matt Whitaker is a very smart man, he is a very respected man in the law enforcement community, VERY respected at the top of the line, and actually, the choice was greeted with raves initially, and it still is in some circles, on, you know, it’s a shame that no matter who I put in, they go after him, its very, uh, very sad I have to say. He’s, uh, acting, I think he’ll do a very good job, but we’ll see what happens, but I will say this, Matt Whitaker is a very highly respected man, and… you didn’t have any problems with Matt Whitaker when he worked for Jeff Sessions. He is respected by law enforcement, he is a very strong law enforcement personality and person…
