A carousel of the worst, most malevolently incompetent people on earth.

Corruption and Fraud? That’s not a bug, that’s the vetting process for a Trump appointee…
I’m telling ya’. He’s going to break Scaramucci’s record!
…we hope
Currently we are at 0.20/Scaramucci units into his tenure and counting.
ETA HAHA great minds thinking alike again.
Hmm and maybe this is why the heads of major agencies get run past the Senate for a looksee?
Sometimes even vetted before that for more than whether they’re willing to be total stooges.
Technically speaking, he could just order the FBI to shut down that investigation. But I think it’s more likely he’ll just order them not to find anything.
Trump saying he doesn’t know the guy (when he does) is a pretty good sign that the guy is toast.
I’m going for the ‘under’ in Scaramucci units.
And if not Scaramucci, he’s well on his way to breaking John Mitchell’s record for “Days as Attorney General Before Indictment.”
Who or what agency would ask the FBI to investigate Whitaker’s former employer?
Calling lawyers! (I’m not one). Are the activities of Whitaker for World Patent Marketing grounds for disbarment? I wonder how the FBI is going to be able to sustain an investigation of its boss (acting though he may be). But what about disbarment? Is it feasible? That would be something. An AG with a pending disbarment action against him.
For appointees that require Senate confirmation, cough, cough, he could set the record…
What was Flynn’s tenure?
IANAL, but if writing nonfactual threatening letters were grounds for disbarment we’d have a lot fewer lawyers. On the other hand, if this means he was more closely involved in the day-to-day operations of the scam (and knew that what they were doing was unlawful) things could be interesting for him.
ETTD
Knowingly being involved in a fraudulent enterprise would be grounds for disbarment, but they would have to prove he knew or should have known it was a fraud. It looks like he could not claim that he was just representing a client, because he took a paid position on the advisory board.
Yes.
Also it might not be necessary for the complaint to be ultimately sustained. It would be worthwhile to be able to say the Acting AG has disbarment proceedings pending. As long as it doesn’t get laughed out immediately, it would be worth something.
Only the best…it’s still hilarious.
Whitaker looks like the kind of guy who crushes beer cans on his head and purposely bumps into you at bars to start fights.
