FMR Acting AG Matthew Whitaker has NOT left the building. He is serving as a senior counselor in the office of Associate AG. There is no associate AG or acting associate AG. Principal Deputy Associate AG Jesse Panuccio remains in his post. He had served as acting associate AG.

Subtext: Whitaker can’t find a job outside of DOJ & can’t get confirmed for a senior position within it. He becomes counselor to the empty Associate AG spot vacated when Rachel Brand left in February 2018. https://t.co/8rtSdKZtwz
