Trumpnado2016 Furthermore, I wish we'd repeat, every day, JBS3's words in his letter: AT YOUR REQUEST he left his job. At the request of King Donald the Fraud, a.k.a. he was FIRED & Whitaker is an ILLEGITIMATE appointment.

Trump's type of man

Trumps new addition to the fam. The only prior work experience needed is stealing from the poor. 💵💵💵👐🏻✅

Every lawyer I have ever had took my money. No matter if I was guilty or innocent. That's what they do. You should know You have lawyers on retainer for the slander cases you deal with.

Dems just keep inventing Trump bashes. It never works though.

Time for Bald Hitler to resign. CrookedNitWhit

Serious question: Is there anyone in this regime that isn't corrupt? I suppose not, because they'd sure stand out in this slop bucket of sagaciousless swill called the Trump Administration.

White house of people with shady characters

Where were these lies before Trump appointed him ? So pathetic

Desperate much ?

Clinton’s foundation is accused of ..”crimes against children..” but you never report on that......

whitaker is disposable and trumpo is using him for what he can get, he'll throw him under the bus like the rest of them when shizzle hits the fan

donnabrazile All the best.........grifters

Everything about the highest law enforcement man in the land screams out “two bit conman”. Easy to see why trump likes him.

Panic, panic , panic !!

jonrog1 Do any of these assholes actually work for their money?

Wow, what a surprise.🙄

Welcome to the Cult !!!!

Fahrenthold A real upstanding guy while sitting on a deep bowl.

And the swamp gets more mucky

Fahrenthold 1’200,000 from another and 500,000 from other there some more coming ?

It's looking more and more like Trump put Whitaker up to occupy the attention of all the prosecutors so they have no time for the Russia probe.

Oh my God, Oh my God. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker has a history of highly questionable actions. What? Oh, that's why he was appointed. Never mind.

Fahrenthold That why it’s called “charity work”! They gave him the money.

Makes him a natural for the t-rump admins

donnabrazile He's still way behind Nancy Pelosi at $90 million dollars from her tiny salary!

donnabrazile Lol that's a pretty creative headline. Wapo is dumb.

And your point is? He’s a scummy attorney. But I repeat myself.

He’s perfect for the job because you’re friends the democrats are running scared

Top justice of the US!

Whitaker is like have the 'Night Stalker' baby sit your kids. Any takers?

Trump does not select anyone who is not as corrupt as he is

GOPChairwoman the BEST people Romna, the best

Fahrenthold Whitaker

Just like Clinton’s taking money from Hatti

Time to do a deep dive into that non-profit's funding sources. Placing bet now that it will be either The Federalist or Kremlin (which may well be one in the same)

This kind of corrupt conduct qualifies one to be a member of the Trump administration.

corporate crime pays.! is the message being sent out to the world.!

And your fake point is ?

Making money from charities seems to be a thing with this crime family

sourdoughme Another corrupt slug from The Swamp.

But you could care less about Hillary Clinton’s corrupt Foundation... no longer a news organization.

He knows where all the bodies are buried!

How much did Eric Holder make before he was AG? Asking for a friend.

TSK TSK, what’s going on Whittaker? Are you qualified to be AG ? Even if it’s temporary?

Can't he be sued?

The more we learn, the worse this selection looks

Fahrenthold That's a sweet windfall for a former hot tub salesman.

Why so scared WAPO? 😂😂😂

Any word on some of the cash flowing through the ClintonFoundation? You’ve had years to investigate.

'CNN/Time Warner - Legal Commentator' 😂 Hmm... Interesting... The salary of executive director at foundation for accountability & civic trust is $904k... 🤔 He needs to explain...

This might be the weakest accusation the fakenews has come out with yet. An attorney is not responsible for the behaviour of their client.

In other words, qualified for the Banana Administration.

Another member of the realDonaldTrump swamp mob

Fahrenthold Do Trump and his friends know what the word 'charity' means?

Hahahaha drain the swamp right guys hahahhahah

Then it’s not a charity. It’s a “charity”.

We can tell the lying radical left night news editors have arrived at WaPo for their evening shift... ...you can tell by their unhinged fake news stories... There is nothing illegal or improper in a lawyer making money... Duh!

And? I mean you guys endorse people who received legal fees from terrorists, drug cartels, and Clinton's infamous child predator case. So you can't really be trying to smear a guy for accepting legal fees from a company ACCUSED of something, right? Right?

WOW, I thought you were going to say he did something bad like 'Did work for the Washington Post' or something like that.. As long as he goes after a few Democrats is will do great in this position!

Criminality and the Trump Administration. Whitaker’s criminality is a good fit.

Fahrenthold Clearly he is a Trump bastard child .... was his mother a housekeeper at one of his condos?

Fahrenthold NEW EPISODE: BE LESS STUPID (VIDEO) Democrats Must Fight Dirty. No More Letting The GOP Kick Our Ass.

Aaannnnd, how much again have the Clintons made from their foundation?

Makes sense that a company accused of fraud would want legal advice. What is it that you think lawyers do?

The best people 🤪🧐😏🙄😳

Now do Eric holder

46 w can only appoint people that behave like him

Translation: We hate anyone who plans to aid the FISA DeClas.

What’s that song by Bruce Springsteen? Oh yeah, “I’m going down, down, down, down.”

By that logic, the WP should not be read by ppl if criminals also read the WP

Wow! You didn't care about all the corrupt Lynch/Holder stuff but you are upset this guy worked for a charity? Someone sounds desperate to try to stop him

Meanwhile, James Comey lives a quiet life on Easy Street. Where did Jim get ALL his money?

Lol, the left is running scared.😂😂😂

Whitaker is the right guy to oversee the Mueller Investigation for now

the guy in charge of Mueller won’t be indicted for obstruction just scams and fraud

He and Trump will be packing fudge at a fudge factory very soon 👍

This is the GOP’s finest hour.

He was the ONLY employee of a nonprofit that paid him 1.2 MILLION dollars. Gotta hand it to Donnie, he is pretty good at exposing some of this cockroaches, even if it's unintentional

Lawyers represent clients accused of all sorts of crimes. That's why they hire attorneys. That doesn't mean the lawyers are accused.

Did nobody give this guy the memo that he was supposed to wait until during or after serving in govt to make his money?

Of course he did...

Just another corrupt tRump appointee, what's new?

Fits right in!

No wonder lawyers have a bad reputation.... Only the rich can afford lawyers

You're acting as if this an aberration rather than somebody meeting the minimum grifting requirements outlined in the job description necessary to serve in the Trump Administration.

No wonder realDonaldTrump thinks he’s a fine guy..... just another criminal soulmate.

Crazy

How’s his toilet for big foot penises doing?

They're REALLY afraid of him. I wonder why...

‘He was yelling’: Whitaker pushed back against early fraud complaints about company he advisedShortly after joining the World Patent Marketing board in late 2014, Whitaker personally intervened when a for-profit consumer complaint website posted comments critical of the company. failingUp seems to be strictly for white men... “He did not threaten me physically, but said he would shut us down and threatened to refer us to a federal agency, Homeland Security,” he said. “He was yelling.” He is still acting AG and has oversight of the rogue SC So he represented his client. It's what all attorneys do. This article is really hyperbole.
