Former Acting AG Whitaker: Those who handled Russia probe ‘may have committed criminal acts’

Whitaker noted that one question Durham will try to answer is whether the investigations were based on “improper” political attacks, which appears to have been the case based on the information that’s come out.

Whitaker, who served as the acting attorney general during 18 months of Trump’s presidency, made the comments after internal memos were released raising serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to Flynn’s late 2017 guilty plea of lying to the FBI. Earlier this month, in a stunning development, the Justice Department moved to drop its case against Flynn.

Last week, it was revealed top Obama administration officials, including former Vice President Joe Biden, purportedly requesting to “unmask” the identity of Flynn — whose calls with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition were picked up in surveillance and later leaked.

When asked to list some of the “bad guys” related to the Russia probe, Whitaker named Former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI agent Peter Strzok.
