Matt Whitaker: Whistleblower Complaint Against Trump Is ‘Scurrilous’ and ‘Cowardly’ and a ‘Smoke Screen to Distract’ People

EXCERPT:

WHITAKER: “Well, it’s clear that somebody had access to very sensitive information, telephone call or telephone calls with foreign leaders with the President of the United States and they did two things. They tried to get the information to the Democrats on Capitol Hill and they tried to get it to The Washington Post. It’s funny to me that really what's a foreign policy disagreement, the President has such broad latitude in how he manages the foreign affairs of our country under the Constitution that these people just disagreed with how the President approached it and so they took illegitimate means by filing this whistleblower complaint which was not appropriate under the whistleblower statute, and then of course The Washington Post gets a hold of it and runs with it. And it's scurrilous. It’s cowardly. And it’s not the way it’s supposed to work, Sean. If these people disagree with this President on how he’s handling foreign policy, they should run for president themselves. That’s the solution. It’s propose some other way to do it. This President has the economy at full speed. He has America strong, and he has our adversaries on the run. I just think in this situation, this is a prime example of where the deep state has tried to use an illegitimate tool to throw up a smoke screen to distract the people from how good things are going.”
