Whitaker is in over his head.

[madaboutharry]

He is mediocre and weak. He can't even evade questions in a believable manner!

The Acting AG is demonstrating a complete contempt for the institutions of democracy. He is disgusting.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Is that what you call it? Looks to me more like just an extension of his neck.

[DirtEdonE]

24. An abcess that needs popping.

But the ensuing puss would engulf the entire room.

Calling Dr. Pimple Popper.

[sarcasmo]

2. This proves Whitaker had no business getting this job.

[PatSeg]

15. Which apparently is

the qualification that Trump looks for in his administration.

[Faux pas]

3. He swims

with the swamp monsters.

[uponit7771]

4. What can democrats do to people who wont answer questions in manner asked ? tia

[Brawndo]

8. Summon Whitaker to another hearing this time using a subpoena

and when he inevitably dodges questions they can hold him in contempt of Congress, that's what.

[uponit7771]

32. thx

[diva77]

35. Thanks for that info. I have wondered about this as well.

[True Blue American]

37. Nadlet told Whitaker

Today he would be coming back at the end of the Hearing.

[dumbcat]

36. Like the Repubs held Eric Holder in contempt of Congress?

For all that did.

Even if held in criminal contempt (like Holder was) the administration can decide not to prosecute (like Obama did.)

What can the committee do to Whitaker that really matters?

[Brawndo]

40. If they don't prosecute they will in effect be declaring the Legislative branch to be powerless

Then we'll have a Constitutional crisis on our hands. As for the DOJ, if all that matters is the Executive branch's opinion, then why is the Mueller investigation allowed to exist? Because they don't want to die on that hill. Whitaker is no where near as safe as Holder was.

[dumbcat]

41. How can you say that?

That's exactly what Pres Obama did to the Repug congress when they didn't prosecute AG Eric Holder after he was held in criminal contempt. They (the Repub congress) were powerless to do anything. Same as now. I don't seem to remember us worrying about any Constitutional crisis when we did it. Why would they?

This will all be forgotten when the next "Constitutional crisis" comes along.

[Brawndo]

42. The difference is political

There is broad public support to protect the Mueller investigation against interference from Whitaker/tRump, whereas there was no where near the same level of support for going after Holder. Fast and Furious was GOP BS, protecting the Mueller investigation is something We The People actually care a lot about. Same setting, way different circumstances. The optics look like the Executive branch giving the finger to the Legislative branch and I bet you that's not going to sit well with most Americans. We disagree on this and that's fine, I doubt either of us is a Constitutional scholar. Maybe one of those is on DU and can settle it for us.

[dumbcat]

43. I see .....

Optics.

[Brawndo]

44. Yes optics, public opinion, which politicians then react to.

Do you think tRump would've hesitated to squash the Mueller investigation if majority public opinion was on his side? It IS a factor, hell even Impeachment is a political act.

[janx]

5. Yes he is.

It looks as if he is getting flak from all sides and is trying to save his own hide.

ETA: He and the Republicans are trying to obfuscate, but for different reasons.

[MontanaMama]

9. Seems that way to me too.

Repukes are all hot and bothered...obviously stressed.

[democratisphere]

6. This guy stalls on every GD question he is asked.

[padah513]

7. He was never qualified for the job

And it shows big time.

[BigmanPigman]

30. He should go back to selling his "big dick" toilets.

I think he is better suited for it. Look at his head for Christ's sake. It is a perfect match, in fact he is a walking advertisement for his product.

"...and something called the Masculine Toilet, which is designed to help “well-endowed men” keep their big ol’ dicks out of their toilet bowls, according to Mother Jones. Apparently, the standard-sized bowl on your American Standard toilet just doesn’t cut it for the wannabe Jon Hamms of the world."

"The average male genitalia is between 5” and 6”,” a press release for the product reads. “However, this invention is designed for those of us who measure longer than that.” To solve the pressing dick-in-the-toilet problem, InventVillage.com, the company behind the Masculine Toilet, claims its product allows a full 12 inches of space between the rim of the shitter and the water. Need a toilet bowl with more than a full foot of space? No worries. These penis pros say they can happily create an “extra long version” if necessary."

[dhill926]

38. that is 5 or 6 inches.....erect!

these guys all sport wood when they go poo-poo? Vey, very strange....

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. not watching - how is the flop sweat factor today? Bullets yet?

or just a glossy sheen?

[LakeSuperiorView]

16. I think they painted him with pure Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate...

Probably stuffed his tightie whities with freezer packs too.

[DirtEdonE]

25. LOL!

"Probably stuffed his tightie whities with freezer packs too."

A new definition for "blue balls"?

This fucker needs to be totally put on ice. For a LONG time.

[magicarpet]

26. Freeze packs in his undies,.. really....

Good Lord,.. his dick will size up smaller than King Oranges'. How embarrassing is that ?

Well that is one consolation,.. that will make pResident trDump very proud that his room temp penis is bigger than Matt Whitaker's icebox panties micro wee-wee.

[bluestarone]

11. IF there was any question whether Whitaker would put his reputation on the line

It's FUCKING been answered HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's a co conspirator!!!!! No doubt in my mind!!!!!!!!

[Blue Owl]

12. The only thing masculine about him is his ridiculously-named toilet

n/t

[C_U_L8R]

13. All that water he's drinking has got to go somewhere.

Perhaps we'll have a watershow soon.

[LakeSuperiorView]

17. They just took a 2 minute potty break...

[Traildogbob]

21. 💦💧

He rehydrates by osmoticly taking up water through his balls and huge penis having to be submerged in the normal toilets in the building.

[True Blue American]

39. That made me wonder.

[orleans]

14. youtube link

[pangaia]

23. WOW !!! ALL I CAN SAY !!!!!!!!!! WOWZER !!!!!!

This little shit is such an obvious liar, avoider and obfuscator.

And the DEMS are locked and loaded... !!

[ffr]

18. Hauled in before congress. That alone is enough to put a smile on my face.

[fishwax]

19. totally incompetent while still coming off as smug and arrogant

in other words, the perfect fit for a trump administration

[Cosmocat]

31. The prototype "conservatives" in the year 2019

seen that, Gaetz, Matt.

[ibegurpard]

20. Yes he's behaving horrendously

But you make a huge mistake if you think he doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't have a lot of backing

[yaesu]

22. he just refused to say that there is no mention in the constitution that a sitting president cannot

be indicted.

[Turbineguy]

27. A face

is search of a fist.

[OMGWTF]

28. Mr BigJunkToilet should be held in contempt of Congress and thrown into the basement brig

[madaboutharry]

45. I like your user name. :)

[BobTheSubgenius]

29. I think this is a perfect description for someone in over their head.

Purportedly from a British employee's performance review:

"Out of his depth in a car park puddle."

[Roadside Attraction]

33. Agreed

I watched the first half hour of the hearings. When Whitaker started answering his first questions from the chairman it was clear Whitaker is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Dumb as a post. Has a few pet phrases memorized and that's it. He's a perfect example of how Trump hires only the best.

[murielm99]

34. Any trumper would be in

over his/her head. They are all sub-par swamp creatures.

[AwakeAtLast]

46. He has a glass face

No wonder they tried to avoid his hearing!
