If Whitaker Recuses Himself From Handling the Russia Probe, He Might As Well Resign Too: This Issue Crippled the Entire Sessions Tenure at the Department of Justice and Trump Doesn’t Need a Continuation of What He’s Already Had for Two Years

To the surprise of no one, President Trump asked for and got Jeff Session’s resignation as the Attorney General today.   His deputy, Matthew Whitaker, was sworn in as the Acting Attorney General not long after, and the Democrats began demanding that Whitaker recuse himself from running the Russia probe.

If he does, he may as well submit his resignation at the same time.   Trump’s already had a crippled Attorney General for two years; why should that situation continue, now that Sessions has resigned?

We need an Attorney General in charge of the entire Justice Department, not a portion of it.
