‘What A Stupid Question’: Trump Berates Female Reporter When Asked If Whitaker Will ‘Rein In’ Mueller Probe
On Friday morning, amid the veritable media feeding frenzy that's engulfed Matthew Whitaker following his appointment as Acting Attorney General, Donald Trump lost his cool with reporters.
Whitaker is under all manner of scrutiny for his long history of acrimonious comments about Robert Mueller and Hillary Clinton. Long story short, Whitaker needs to recuse immediately if he wants to avoid accusations that he's attempting to assist the White House in obstruction of justice.
That is not a part
So Maxine Waters has called for impeachment proceedings – Should she recuse herself?
Recuse herself from what? lol. She’s a lawmaker, she’s not the Attorney General. Don’t be a moron, ok?
An interesting related question is, did Trump just precipitate a constitutional crisis in appointing Whitaker as acting AG? See the NY Times article co-authored by George T. Conway III, the husband of Kellyanne Conway. (Kellyanne Conway, of course, has at various times acted as the President’s attack dog or stooge.)

Recently, ‘the Donald’ claimed he knew Whitaker and he was, “a really good guy” (or equivalent). At today’s media scrum he claimed, “I don’t know the guy” and said reporters should ask Kelly Ann Conway as maybe she knows him. Trump needs to keep his lies straight as he’s now over 6,000 lies and counting.
