There was no need for Whitaker to communicate with Don the Con. Both already knew Whitaker’s “job” is to sabotage the rule of law.

Whitaker, a former Iowa tight end and one-time hot tub marketer,…

Boy, howdy! The GOP sure does send their best for the job of AG.

Once Whitaker loses this acting job, he should audition for the next reboot of The Addams Family… as Uncle Fester. It would be a fitting role in more ways than one.

I hope the Democrats open investigations into every nook and corner of this gigantic bag of corruption and sleaze with 100x the gusto the GOP investigated Benghazi

Me too - I hope they issues subpoenas hourly on week days and twice an hour on Sundays. I hope he never sleeps again.

Wow! Such a strongly worded letter to a toothless figure of “authority”.

At this pace Schumer will surely damage the Trump presidency in a hundred years.

Maybe the OSC should just indict Whitaker. Keep it simple.

Would be neat if Mueller ‘leaked’ some fake stuff to Whitaker, to see if he passed it on to Trump and it showed up in Trump’s interrogatory answers…

“I am particularly concerned about whether Mr. Whitaker may have shared with the White House, or could share in his new role, confidential grand jury or investigative information…"

That’s a serious charge. Even in more normal times, I’d think one would need to offer a compelling reason for suspecting that might have happened. If one wanted the IG to take the request seriously that is…

He’s the MINORITY Leader. If the Majority Leader would do the same thing people would listen up.

I see Devin Nunes and Whitaker holding hands and skipping to the WH. Trump is the compelling reason.

Leader? That’s being generous. As a Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell left the Majority “Leader” Harry “Punt on First Down” Reid in the dust…

Still need to convince the IG this has merit for it to be anything more than grandstanding. That was my point. This looks more like grandstanding than any sort of serious attempt to address what’s problematic about Whitaker.
