Matthew Whitaker et la corruption de la justice (New York Times)

Je demeure convaincu que la nomination de Matthew Whitaker doit être éventuellement approuvée par le sénat, mais le New York Times va plus loin et se concentre sur la possibilité que le candidat de Donald Trump ne soit là que pour mettre fin à l'enquête de Robert Mueller. Si vous demandiez encore comment on peut pervertir un système, la lecture de cet article devrait vous éclairer.

 "As if concerns about the Constitution, the law and Mr. Whitaker’s judgment weren’t enough, the broader picture that has emerged about Mr. Whitaker is even more disturbing. He has expressed skepticism toward Marbury v. Madison, the landmark case that established the concept of judicial review; he would support the confirmation of federal judges who hold “a biblical view of justice”; he may have prosecuted a political opponent for improper reasons when he was a federal prosecutor in Iowa; and then there’s the fiasco of his business involvement with a company accused of scamming customers that is being investigated by the F.B.I.

Justice Department regulations governing the day-to-day operations of the special counsel’s office allow for Mr. Whitaker to be read in on many of its inner workings, including that the acting attorney general be given “an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step” that Mr. Mueller decides to take. So there is nothing to keep Mr. Whitaker from being the president’s eyes and ears inside the most closely guarded investigation in the history of American politics.
