Whitaker has NO REASON to RECUSE!!!
THIS IS THE RULE!!!!
GOVERNMENT ETHICS
“[…]C. DOJ-Specific Conflict of Interest Regulation: No DOJ employee may participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution, or who would be directly affected by the outcome. 28 CFR 45.2
Political relationship means a close identification with an elected official, candidate, political party or campaign organization arising from service as a principal advisor or official; personal relationship means a close and substantial connection of the type normally viewed as likely to induce partiality.[…]”
And that is why President Trump has tweeted he does not know Whitaker and that he was appointed by Jeff Sessions.
