Nadler really needs to get control of this hearing. Whitiker is cleaning his clock.

Get the word to them to take control! This an Oversight Hearing and the direction of the subject matter is up to the Committee Chair. Stop this impudent SOB!

It seems that Whitaker is obstructing and being very uncooperative. Nadler is talk to him like he’s a toddler....which he is.

No reasonable viewer can help but see that Whitaker is refusing to answer even the simplest questions and has MUCH to hide.

Do I wish Whitaker could be held in contempt and frog-marched out of the room? Absolutely! But, that cannot happen. Nadler is being as hard-ass as he can be while still remaining civil and professional. The contrast with Collins is stark.

Nadler, so far, has eaten their lunch and drunk their milkshakes.
