The president has appointed Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General.

We discuss what this means for the Mueller probe and for the newly elected House majority.

This is Sarah from the Lent and Beth from the Right.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of the ones.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Pantsuit Politics.

Everyone who's you might have noticed, there is a different voice joining me today.

Elise Nap, our marvelous production assistant, is filling in for Sarah, who's in Nashville,

Tennessee, recording our audio book, Shoutout to John and Kevin and Gabe, who are working with us on the audio book.

They're an awesome team. I really enjoyed my time with them.

And I know Sarah's having fun there too, although I did see on Instagram that she's struggling not to cry,

as she reads the book, which hopefully lets you know that it's going to be good.

Yeah, I saw that too and I thought that seems so appropriate.

Yes, Sarah's busy and we figured that after reading the book all day, she would be out of a voice.

So here I am filling in and got big shoes to fill.

Well, I'm so glad you're here, Elise, and I want to thank you and Dylan both,

because I feel like you guys have moved mountains for me.

I ended up having to go to my hometown for a family funeral today.

My great-uncle passed away at the age of 84.

He had a wonderful life and it was a wonderful celebration of his life,

but it caused a lot of disruption here at Panty Politics.

And you would never know it because Elise and Dylan are so committed and so awesome.
