SCOOP: Trump's acting attorney general said the president can kill any investigation he wants. And Matt Whitaker claimed Trump could not commit obstruction of justice. https://t.co/EqP73mn06H

"It looks like this president put Matt Whitaker in this job precisely for the reason that is perfectly obviously to everyone…he expects him to come in and somehow either slow down, curtail or even shut down the (Mueller) investigation"- @matthewamiller w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/LrLUpnHO1f

My critical remarks to the NY Times about Whitaker’s unbelievably ignorant statements have nothing at all to do with my legal conclusion that his installation is null and void under the Constitution — a political stunt by a legally illiterate president. https://t.co/d5HBOhm4XS

Why did POTUS direct Sessions to resign and appoint Whittaker? The answer is obvious, but still astounding: he switched the AG to limit a special counsel investigation in which he is a subject. Normally, this kind of behavior might itself end a presidency. 1/3

Terrific crowd for the #ProtectMueller #WhitakerMustRecuse rally at the Boston Common and State House! The forced firing of Sessions and appt. of a lackey is unacceptable.

I asked @PressSec how the misleading edited video of @Acosta came to her attention, whether she got it from InfoWars personality @PrisonPlanet, and whether she vetted the video herself before posting it. I did not get any answers. https://t.co/wSRlaWHDIu

The DUP respond in The Times to tonight’s letter, warning her not to put a border down the Irish Sea, (as the letter suggests might emerge as an ultimate backstop the U.K. would say must never be used) .

1/2 The Brexit Select Committee went to Dover and saw the large number of lorries coming off the ferries. Last year the port handled 2.6 million lorries. I am surprised therefore that the Secretary of State hadn’t quite understood how important Dover is. https://t.co/QNQLyj5MSP
