Over the weekend, the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler, made his views on President Donald Trump’s recent appointee for acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, clear. “He’s totally unqualified,” Nadler said. “And his only qualification seems to be that he wants to be—that the president wants him to be the hatchet man to destroy the Mueller investigation.”

Given what the president and Whitaker have stated publicly about special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, this “hatchet man” designation might be spot-on. Whitaker has both prejudged the investigation as having failed to produce evidence of collusion and obstruction of justice and laid out what he called a “crafty” approach to kill the probe by starving it of funding.

These are a few of the ways Whitaker could attempt to sabotage the probe if he doesn’t recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel. Whitaker has the power to bar Mueller from publicly releasing his report on possible presidential malfeasance or sending the document to Capitol Hill for lawmakers to review. He could even to attempt to water that report down. He would also be able to approve or deny Mueller’s major prosecutorial decisions, such as future indictments and cooperation deals.
