Whitaker
If you’re not watching Matt Whitaker on the electric teevee, march your butt over to the couch and grab the remote.
If you want to talk about the Imperial Presidency, this is all the proof you need. He is a total jerk and trusting him would be a major mistake.
First five minutes in he was already getting booed.
That started well. Acting AG Meatball Whitaker told Chairman Nadler that his 5 minutes was up. Dotard45 and his maladministration peeps still need a little work on grasping the co-equal branches of government concept.
1Hey, we don’t need any evil 5th column in this country. We already have their spin-off at the head of agencies and in the White House.
2May AG Whitaker become another singer for Mueller’s choir.
3@maggie
The Republican Party, lead by the NRA, IS the Fifth Column.
4Whitaker seems to have taken a page from Marco Rubio’s book, glug, glug, glug…..
5I guess I’m kinda stumped at why anybody is pursuing this. Barr has made it through the Senate committee and the whole Senate will vote on his confirmation–probably on Monday–which is likely to be along party lines. Whitaker will then go back to doing whatever it was he did before Benedict Donald foolishly thought he would be the AG.
6Yeah whittaker comes off as a fool but so what?
The d’s caved on the sub poena abd even allowed him to claim some delusional executive priviledge to avoid questions.
Even if tey catch him on lies it is demented donnie’s puppets in doj who decide to prosecute or not.
After the thugs poisoned the well on this issue by citing Qbama officials for contempt of congress on fictional charges, which tne doj refused to prosecute, the the thugs can point to that as an equivilant another lie but since they continue to get away with it so what?
Meanwhile 44 new thuglican protectors are on their way to the bench, mueller is wasting time to gild the lily, the government is being gutted and the crooks are enjoying the benefits of their crimes.
7But don’t worry the d’s are scoring some meaningless style points that in the end mean nothing.
Nadler should have had the congressional police serve subpoena perp walk whittaker to the house and hold him in unheated basement cell until he answered questions. But he won’t because the d’s don’t want to look either strong or blow up the kabuki theatre they have choose to protect rather then the oath they took.
Micr, agreed! In spades!
8The acting AG has all the wit and charm of a dim-witted schoolyard bully.
9I think my favorite part was when Gohmert read Whitaker part of Whitaker’s opening statement about the southern border and crime.
Then Whitaker said he didn’t know what speech those words were from….
Dumb and Dumber.
10But but but he has a big peener toilet for men with size issues.
11Papa, I am not sure that Whitaker would “sing” for Mueller. I think that The Golden Gibbon has found himself a real storm trooper for his growing dictatorship. Whitaker looks and sounds completely crooked and obdurate.
12Consensus seems to be that Meatball is performing for an audience of one and impressing him with his “toughness.” Since jobs open up regularly in this regime, Whitaker could be the next “acting” Secretary of Defense. Or Interior, or State, or just about anything. We haven’t seen the last of peener-potty man.
