Former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker told a Fox News audience that it is not a crime for President Donald Trump to abuse the power of his office.
Whitaker made the comments while complaining about global elitists during an interview with Laura Ingraham.
What evidence of a crime do you have? Whitaker asked, despite Trump, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and defense lawyer Rudy Giuliani all admitting Trump sought foreign election interference to help his struggling re-election campaign.
Abuse of power is not a crime, the nations former top law enforcement office argued.

(82,849 posts)7. Gee, wasn't abuse of power one of the articles against Nixon?
Why yes, yes it was.
And didn't a certain Representative Lindsay Graham observe during the impeachment of Bill Clinton that an actual crime need not have been committed for impeachment to proceed?
Why yes, yes he did.
So, you were saying, Mr. Whitaker, you gigantic knob?
