AT: The Judiciary Committee hearing on February 8, 2019, held by Chairman Nadler (D-N.Y.) with committee witness Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, became an epic historic failure. Acting A.G. Whitaker’s testimony is for the ages.
It is simple: just watch clips from the hearing while taking note of the video of the Iowa Hawkeyes scoring a touchdown on a pass thrown to Number 46, Matt Whitaker. If a person is capable of doing what Number 46 did under tremendous pressure, then the hearing was easily a symbolic walk in the park for the Acting A.G.
The former Iowa varsity Rose Bowl player symbolically ran every play he knew on the Democrats of the committee, while keeping a true Iowa nice style. It was a day of symbolic smash mouth football while at times channeling his brilliant fake punt for a TD.
“Five minutes for lunch”? They did not see that coming.
A moment for the ages is captured in a lasting quote by witness Whitaker in his reminding the chair that if Nadler sets the rules, then he also must play by the rules. “Mr. Chairman, I see that your five minutes is up” will soon be part of congressional legends.
This exchange is equally priceless:
Rep. Eric Swalwell, California Democrat, pressed Mr. Whitaker on his views about Mr. Mueller. The acting attorney general said he thought Mr. Mueller was both honest and not conflicted.
Mr. Swalwell then asked Mr. Whitaker to use the hearing to express that view to Mr. Trump.
“I am not your puppet, to repeat what you are saying,” Mr. Whitaker responded.
Mr. Swalwell didn’t back down, demanding Mr. Whitaker say that, speaking directly to the president through the hearing.
“I am not here to be a puppet to repeat terms and words that you say,” Mr. Whitaker shot back. MORE
Trump should have kept him!
Barr is of the swamp.
Hopefully, Matthew Whitaker will stay on as Assistant Attorney General to Barr. He was Homeric before those midgets.
Need to make him the administrations designated testifier.
The usual bullying wasn’t working and it left the carping pukes flummoxed. Sheila Magilla Jackson nearly blew a gasket.
They did nazi see that coming.
From the kickoff, Matt the Machine scored TD’s on every possession, spiked the ball, leaving a nasty taste in their mouths.
Next up, Michael Cohen. Nadler will fumble right out of the gate, Cowardly Cohen will recover the ball, run wrong way down the length of the field, into his own end zone for a safety against his own team.
Matt Whitaker will not be taken lightly if he ever has to tastufy in front of that group of clowns again.
Careful congress critters, Matt just showed you what can happen when you pick on someone with nothing to lose.
Whitaker could have pointed out that Swalwell’s request to parrot him would have been seen in mock trials in Stalin’s USSR.
Just answer YES OR NO!!! YES OR NOOOO!!!! OK THEN I’LL TAKE THAT AS A YES. YES OR NO!?!?!
The Dick Blumenthal question session was hilarious last month, too.
He said something about, “What do you think of that damning collusion report?”
And Whitaker said something like- Oh about those FBI texts???
LMAO
Swallowell is a punk!
Questioning someone who’s not in their pocket is a little bit different!
