He Wasn't Qualified to Be Attorney General. He's Even Less Qualified for the Next Job Trump Wants Him In. He Does Have a History of Scams.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : Whitaker's lack of credentials, shared by most if not all Trump 2.0 nominees, may be pointed in this case, given that the president-elect has long complained that the U.S.'s commitments to NATO are a waste of money and has supported a policy of essentially letting Russian president Vladimir Putin do whatever he wants with Eastern Europe.
33% : Anyway, Trump has now nominated Whitaker to be the U.S. representative to NATO, which is another job for which he is not qualified.
14% : (He'd initially been brought on as Sessions' chief of staff, by the way, because Trump had seen him criticizing the Mueller investigation on CNN.)
8% : In 2018, when Trump finally hectored former Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions into resigning his position as attorney general -- Sessions had approved the investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, which made Trump mad -- the highly underqualified Whitaker replaced Sessions as interim AG for three zany months.
