Trump: Whitaker will have free reign over Mueller probe

Like a case of genital warts, most of us just want the Mueller investigation to go away. Not that anyone on the right side of the aisle is worried Mueller will find something against Trump or his administration, but for many of us, the investigation has gone on for so long now it's beginning to rot.

In spite of this, I believe if Trump is innocent [and I'm sure he is] he ought to allow the probe to come to its fullest conclusion and assuage all doubts of guilt.

On Sunday, President Trump told Fox News' Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" that he will be giving acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker free reign over the Mueller investigation on the Russia probe, including limiting or even shutting it down.

"It's going to be up to him," Trump said. "I wouldn't get involved."

President Trump picked Whitaker after he fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Whitaker is an outspoken critic of the Mueller investigation and this ignited renewed accusations that Trump is trying to squelch the investigation.

They would want Trump to select an acting AG who is all in for the probe and a Democrat to boot.

Trump said he didn't know of Whitaker's previous public remarks, which paints the president as uninformed and begs the question: why did he choose someone of whose ideology he was unaware?

I think the president was pulling our collective legs on that one.
