A story breaking today in the New York Times reports that former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was approached by corrupt Russian asset Donald "Rump" Trump with a request that he place recused U.S. Attorney for the SDNY Geoffrey Berman -- a Rump appointee -- in charge of the Michael Cohen case. A key quote from the Times story:

"Mr. Whitaker, who had privately told associates that part of his role at the Justice Department was to 'jump on a grenade' for the president, knew he could not put Mr. Berman in charge, since Mr. Berman had already recused himself from the investigation. The president soon soured on Mr. Whitaker, as he often does with his aides, and complained about his inability to pull levers at the Justice Department that could make the president’s many legal problems go away.

Trying to install a perceived loyalist atop a widening inquiry is a familiar tactic for Mr. Trump, who has been struggling to beat back the investigations that have consumed his presidency. His efforts have exposed him to accusations of obstruction of justice as Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, finishes his work investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election." (our emphasis)

Rump's uninhibited desire to derail the multiple investigations into him, his associates and company lead him to bumbling obstruction attempts, which will come out in the Mueller report. After two miserable years of his regime, he still hasn't come to grips with the rule of law and the proper role of the Justice Department and law enforcement. May that failure lead to his removal from office, and his incarceration.
