Trump’s Attorney General Matt Whitaker fired back at Democrats questioning him with a single sentence. Fox News reports:
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker stunned onlookers and lawmakers during an already-contentious House hearing Friday, when he tried to call time on the Democratic chairman after yet another line of questioning regarding Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
The retort came after Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., first said he wanted Whitaker to appear for a private deposition after the hearing and went on to ask Whitaker whether he had been “asked to approve any requests or action” for the special counsel.
“Mr. Chairman, I see that your five minutes is up, so…” Whitaker replied as the hearing room broke out in gasps. “I am here voluntarily. We have agreed to five-minute rounds.”
Nadler, who even cracked a slight smile at the response, repeated his question, and Whitaker ultimately responded: “I have not interfered in any way with the special counsel’s investigation.”
This is not common practice in House panels, but Whitaker is on his way out and let the committee know that he’d rather focus on the work of the men and women of the Department of Justice.

I was watching that hearing. The Marxist/Socialists were only making themselves look foolish with their questions. Mr. Whitaker handled himself professionally and with great restraint. The Marxist/Socialists however were rude, crude and down right disrespectful toward him. Shameful to say the least. A real ship of fools.
And you can just hear in the background from Liberals everywhere cheering him on… “Go, Nads, Go!”
I watched the shenanigans on television today of the House Panel playing games and stating their own agenda after the answer by the Interim DOJ General. I am sadly ashamed of the POLITICAL SYSTEM particularly from the DEMOCRATS. IT was obvious that they are on a witch hunt for PRESIDENT TRUMP. They would rather see society fail than allow him to do his job as PRESIDENT. I am sick of them and I am SICK OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE that voted these idiots into office. I truly believe we are seeing the last of America that our Fore Fathers fought for and most people just do not give a damn.
Stephen…I am with you 1,000 %, like you said, how can these idiot, progressive, socialists have support of the voters of this country unless they are illegals. hmmmmmmmm
Have faith. The 76% approval of the presidents State Of The Union was a light at the end of the tunnel. The far left Democratic Socialist Party has gone so far off course I think many moderate Democrats are frightened of the prospects of socialism and the Green Dream and will vote either Independent or possibly Republican. They now realize after the debacle playing out in Virginia that they have been had by so called moderate Democrats who will never govern as moderates once they are elected. .
I think Trump should keep Whitaker and strike Barr . We Don’t need more Deep State Actors . Have to avoid Bush people who are As Dangerous as the Dems !
Agreed.
Totally agree,with you!
Keep Whitaker and strike Barr – YES!
The hearing today gave the American people a sideshow that put front and center the IQ of the Democratic Progressive Party who they are,what they stand for, and the complete idiocy they possess.. The disorganization of the hearing was a travesty and the pompous,snide attitudes of all were disgusting and any respect given to these people is absurd..
I totally agree. Eventually turned it off. Never have I seen such disrespect as was given to Acting Att’y General Whitaker.I knew from the start that Nadler would be a disgrace, but it seems the Dems. we’re all coached on how to question /not behave. All decorum has disappeared from this
Political party.
I hope 2020 shows the Dems. that the normal voting person
does not agree with this behavior. Their groping for power is boorish.
I wish Whitaker was going to be our next AG. He’s the best I’ve seen so far. Barr is not a fan of the 2nd Amendment at a time when we need all hands on deck to defend the 2nd A.
With the current people in charge, the FBI grows more and more like the dreaded Russian KGB they profess to despise . . . These left wing losers are being paid outrageous salaries to continue this dog and pony show by the hard working taxpayers who probably would vote to end this if they had any say in the matter. The only winners in this SICK investigation are the swamp people!!!
2020 we have another opportunity to correct things!!!
You have been absolutely correct. The working people of America are just opening their eyes to JUST how hard the democrats are really working and getting paid to just abstruct everything they can. The last 2 yrs. they did absolutely nothing with High paying jobs to go with their nonsensew.
Nothing is probably the best THEY can do.
Yep we need to Vote Out All Democrats that are up for election or eeelection !!
The ONLY way all democrats are all out is when all Americans Unite and vote them out, But we the People must watch and stop fraudulence by all means especially the anti-American democrats and their medias and their sponsors! We The people must stop having the false mindsets that any government is too big to fight or fail and that any other party vote is wasted besides the established corrupt status quo of politicians at the swamp called Washington d.c.! Any other party vote is better than rhinos and especially the corrupt anti-American democrats!
Our elected lawmakers are beholding to their lobbyists once they are in office. They do not represent us anymore! Money talks to these lowlifes!!
It does look like Whitaker thought he had the upper hand, but instead got put where he belonged as a witness not the person in charge. When
someone tries to be a smart ass in front of Congress they normally loose.
The smartass is nadler the Communist Democrat.
Nadler the communist loser was put in his place
You are blinded by your leftist self. Acting Att’y General Whitaker was cut short so many times that the questioners lost that battle of civility. Talk about a circus! They lost the battle of civility, AGAIN!!!
Seems like a decent guy-which, I suppose, is why he is not being nominated for the AG spot. The President needs someone who will allow Mueller to continue his Stalinist witch hunt.
I think the 5 minute rule doesnt apply to assholes
You would think these Demonic Rats would get tired of grasping at straws, their minds are so twisted and bent now that they can’t tell the difference between right and wrong or up and down. It is truly disgusting and terrifying all at the same time.
They have new dinamic idiots like Cortez, and others so idiocy has no bounds
But they have “dress codes” and codes for “when to applaud” and “when to pout” I have lived a long life and I have to say that I have never seen such a disgraceful and moronic Democratic and a good portion of the Republican party. The Democratic party is no longer a party and should actually be disbanded. Another gripe that I have is WHY do we have a “Black Caucus” and a “Hispanic Caucus” and NOT a “White” Caucus? Mind you, I am NOT Caucasian; I am of Mexican Heritage, American born and have never considered myself anything other than an American citizen. There was a time when Congress served the people who pays their salaries; we now have a Congress who are paid bu citizens’ taxes and who represent FOREIGN entities and FOREIGN countries. This needs to stop. We have a bunch of MORONS and IDIOTS responsible to “MAKING LAWS?” That is a dangerous situation. I can’t for the life of me see the likes of Ocasio-Cortez, Hirono and the rest of their cabal, particularly the Muslims who should definitely not be allowed to serve in the USA Law Making Branch of our Government as they have gone to great extremes to display their disdain and hatred for America and the American people.
The most common sense and really patriotic explanation I have heard, precise and direct !, you are a real American, God bless you!
Gloria , your post was Great and I could not have said it better ! MAGA
They have new dinamic idiots like Cortez, and others so idiocy has no bounds they are telling me that I have already said that, BS they just don’t want to post it!
Every career politician in DC is loyal to the corrupt corporate machinery, it is ABOUT TIME that we see that a corporation CANNOT BE A GOVERNMENT. EVER. It represents the aims of the owners, and in the case of “THE UNITED STATES” corporation, it was European interests and NOT OURS. The PEOPLE are NOT represented by ANY corporation, that is without Sovereignty also, since it is fictional and not alive. DC wants to think IT rules US, but our TRUE federal government, which does NOT EXIST since 1781 until now, is supposed to consist of representation from the governments OF OUR STATES (the ONLY governments in this nation), but the “vetting” process on nmewbie Senators and Rep0resentatives ensures that they ONLY REPRESENT DC and THE UNITED STATES, and NEVER their State government.
The DemocRATS are the RATS. They only have to look at their own party for the collusion with Russia but they will not do it Even Obama was involved in the criminalization of the DOJ and FBI. kNOW ONE BUT OBAMA could have gotten so many federal employees to commit crimes when they have been with the agencies for years and could lose everything. Then you have the Russian One deal which was treason giving our enemy 20% of our Uranium and Hillary and Bill getting 140 million dollars and you know Obama was not getting one cent less. We just do not know if he got the funds or he is waiting for his library to open. The Democrats are the party of corruption and the only way to clean it up is themselves but that would never happen.
You hit the nail right on the head.
Billy , Exactly ! Good thing is the American people are Finally getting to see just how corrupt and sick the democrats/ commies are . I believe we are on the way to getting Our Country back . President Trump Needs to move forward carefully , avoiding listening to Thug Rinos too . If he can get with good people like Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes , and others like them we will have a Great Future ! MAGA
Yes I agree, how much more of this loony leftists road will moderate Dem’s
Take before realizing it’s not the JFK party anymore and will never be again, and leave.
Sick of these Congress people and their lies and destruction. Hope we get men like Whitaker to confront them of their lies also. They all act like the “fake” media and push push push and hope for their plan to work to save them.
