'Your Five Minutes Is Up:' Acting AG Whitaker Challenges Chairman Nadler Over Repetitive Mueller Questions

excerpt:

Update: Acting AG Whitaker's exchanges with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) were just as testy. He poked fun at her line of questioning, and she lost her temper with the witness.

“Mr Attorney General, we’re not joking here and your humor is not acceptable,” she told him.

Original Post

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) began Friday's hearing with Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker by sighing over how uncooperative he has been with the House Judiciary Committee. The panel had given Whitaker plenty of opportunities to prepare for the questioning, Nadler argued, but it was "clear" he hadn't.

When Nadler got his five minutes to ask questions, they were all about Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation into Russian collusion. The Democratic chairman asked Whitaker repeatedly how often he'd been briefed on the Russia probe, and whether he had relayed any of that information to the president.

Whitaker said he can't talk about ongoing investigations, but that yes, he has been briefed on them. He is the person "ultimately in charge of the investigation," yet insisted he has not interfered in any way with it.

When Nadler kept pressing him on the same matter, that's when things got entertaining and when Whitaker started snapping back with some fresh quips.

"I know you’re very interested in the special counsel investigation," Whitaker noted sarcastically. He added that no matter how many times he's asked, he's already said "all I plan on saying" about the number of times he was briefed on the investigation.

But that didn't stop Nadler from trying one more time. As Nadler started to ask again about his relationship to the Russia probe, Whitaker uttered perhaps the most savage response ever from a witness on Capitol Hill.

"Mr. Chairman, I see that your five minutes is up."

I've been watching the whole thing live on FoxNews. It's still on right now as I type this. It's nothing short of incredible how childish the Democrats are being. It's very discouraging to know those infantile Democrats actually hold positions of power, authority and responsibility.

Hmmm....seems they're taking a short break, but I don't think they're finished.

I heard the exchange on the radio. Sheila Jackson Lee was probably referring to The Appointments Clause when she spoke of Congress' "Constitutional duty". The Constitution does refer the President to seek advice and consent. It doesn't say anything about being a grand-standing, camera-hogging b!tch.

Well I finally reached my limit, could stomach no more, and switched to "Decades" TV to watch an old "Bob Newhart" rerun.

I am forced to conclude (again) that there is not one single honest or mature Democrat in existence.

Indeed.
How dare that man try and give a reasoned and articulate response to a two minute "question" that the questioner now declares is just a 'yes or no'!!
Couldn't handle more then a couple of minutes of that crap, changed channel.

Yup, LOL, there's a Certain_Poster here at RN that tried again and again to use that stupid trick (especially during the endless "smoking ban" threads and the "Trayvon" threads): He'd ask something equivalent to "Have you stopped beating your wife, yes or no?", and then pretend I'd "dodged" his question when instead of "yes" or "no" I'd directly address the actual issue.

It was childish then, and the antics of the Democrats this morning when "questioning" Whitaker were equally childish.

It's truly heartbreaking that roughly half this country actually supports and votes for those infantile @$$holes.

The last dimocrat I had any respect for was Joe Lieberman. I may have disagreed with him but he loved his country. The dimocrat party is now just a radical socialism front.

Whitaker just bitch slapped that fat faced hog jowled mother<censored>er! :biglaugh:

[Ticked@TinselTown]

Sheila Jackson Lee was absolutely apoplectic in her infantile behavior.

Harris must have been giving her tips on how to act especially obnoxious and snarky while questioning someone.

The level of unprofessional, toddler antics is unsurpassed and shameful... But they don't have enough integrity to feel shame.

My favorite was Jim Traficant. I so enjoyed his floor rants.

You might consider the end of the gene-pool voters that put her there.....Might not be a bad idea to have an intelligence test before voting!

She's concerned the top end of the gene pool compared to them.

I am sure the dims would consider that racist as it would eliminate a LOT of their voters, especially the dead ones.

(Mild language)

This video is of rapper Lil' Wayne being interviewed or giving testimony in a deposition a few years back. It's how I imagine being interviewed in a similar situation. AG Whittaker shared a similar contempt but was a little more professional.
