In case he is forced to comment on anything tomorrow, I sure hope Whitaker can stick to the Federal government’s lone gunman, single / magic bullet theory.
“Not intended to be a factual statement.” There, it’s fixed.
Hack, hack, hack…no I am not coughing.
Overqualified, surely. I pity anyone who isn’t better than this entire sorry crowd of clowns (with apologies to actual clowns).
Seems like kind of a big mistake to make and I’m sure it wouldn’t have been that difficult to get the facts straight. You don’t suppose we have another dishonest, liar on our hands?
Knave
Has anybody asked him where this idea originated?
I see Matty is working to earn the respect and trust of his staff.
I remember when wearing a beige suit was grounds for impeachment, my the times have changed since 2015.
I can’t wait for this douchebag to testify before the House Judiciary Committee and try to claim executive privilege on this piece of prepared xenophobia.
Hello and goodbye Mr. Whitaker. More alternative facts from the geniuses in the WH. This should be grounds for immediate dismissal and is truly FUBAR. Who briefed him on this case and gawd oh dear this man probably has access to classified materials.
Is the orange shitgibbon’s brain parasite contagious?
A lot of people were saying . . .
On a side note he actually showed excessive guile & cunning in manipulating his way into office by weaseling his way onto CNN where he was mainlined right into the WH cable IV - that was extremely clever and as such it means he is a dangerous man. Remember, MBS ran the worst murder coverup in history and Trump still can’t quit him. When murder is no thing why would lying about conspiracy’s involving Muslims be scoffed at? Maybe Whitaker lied, maybe he didn’t . . . how can we ever know?
This guy is way out of his league. This kind of story works when you are a nobody at some RWNJ event, but not as the nation’s AG.
It’s not a f–king CORRECTION! Like a typo or wrong word.
It’s a whole made up terrorism win story.
What a liar!
The perpetrators of The Bowling Green Massacre strike again!
One of two things. He gave away Task Force secrets or like his boss pulls bullshit out of his ass.
He didn’t make it up on the fly. It was in his notes so he lied deliberately to support the Trumpite Islamophobic, xenophobic, we-need-Saudi-help line. This lie is in what was sent to reporters, so it will be echoing around henceforth, just as was intended.
Let’s not be overpolite and call this a “mistake” or suggest he made it up spontaneously. No, this was part of the ongoing, deliberately constructed Trumpite world of lies. It’s designed to ramp up hatred and fear, and it reached its targets. Whitaker is demonstrating that he intends to enable and abet his master.
The purpose of a terror attack is public fear, yes? Wouldn’t that make public officials who report fake acts of terrorism…terrorists? I can’t really see any wriggle room there–scaring the public with fake terrorism is just as terroristic as actual acts of terror.
The GOP lies again and again.
Another example of their strategy of telling lies to the true believers then quietly posting corrections to the press when they are called out.
