From a piece on Matt Whitaker's shady history:
The most darkly comic note from the newly disclosed FTC documents is a message from one of the investigators, incredulous at the news that the lawyer for the scam firm they are investigating has somehow gotten a job at the Department of Justice. “You’re not going to believe this,” James Evans, who works for the agency’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, wrote on October 24, 2017. “Matt Whitaker is now chief of staff to the Attorney General. Of the United States.”And now that scam's lawyer is (maybe) Attorney General. Of the United States.
