Take a seat Mr Whitakerā¦
Letās get it on
Letās get it on
āYou know what Iām talkinā 'bout
Cāmon, baby
Let your love come out
If you believe in love
Letās get it on
Letās get it on, baby
This minute, oh yeah
Letās get it on
Please, letās get it onāāMGaye
Time to start squeezing the bastardsā¦
No grifter should be left unsubpoenaedā¦
Better have the Sargent at Arms at the ready, to arrest Whitaker if need be. Congress has not had to do this since 1935, but with Trumpās bunch of crooks and grifters, it is good to be prepared.
āSo how was your day honey?ā
āI lost my job and got subpoenaed by congressā.
āJerry Nadler will go into tomorrowās high-stakes hearing featuring acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker with a subpoena in his back pocket.ā
(Apologies to Mae West:)
āIs that a subpoena in your pocket, or are you just glad to probe Whitaker?ā
Looks like thereās 17 repubs on the committee, so at least 4 of them voted to āembarrass the witnessā by making him answer the goddam questions.
Oversight. Finally.
I was thinking the exact same thing or at least just that Nadler should be prepared to do such a thing. Show no mercy. This bullshit has got to stop.
Yeah, but is that a big dick toilet?!?!?!?!
More likely 4 of them didnāt vote, assuming no crossover votes.
Yes. 24 dems and 17 republicans on the committee.
We are not in normal times, and a little shock and awe is called for. Nadler just says:
āMr. Whitaker, we gave you a chance to assert any privilege so it could be litigated, and you did not. You are refused to answer the committeeās questions, which is an intentional effort to obstruct congressā constitutional obligation to have oversight. You will now be remanded into the custody and control of the Sargent at arms until you agree to answer this committeeās questions. Sargent, please arrest Mr. Whitaker and remand him into your custody until you receive further instructions from this committee.ā
[and oh, donāt forget the leg shackles!]
The GOP allowed the Trumpers to abuse executive privilege as a sort of pocket veto. It was implicitly asserted without basis and without even stating it. It boiled down to āI donāt want to answer because the POTUS doesnāt want me to and there are no consequences if I disregard your request, Dem Senatorā. Nadler is putting an end to that. This will be a traditional hearing with the traditional balance of power between the WH and Congress. I doubt that Whitaker is ready for that. Theyāll need to leave him a bucket or two for his sweat. He wonāt need a big dick toilet b/c heāll have sweated it all out. He will need a new suit, however.
Having Whitaker wheeled into the House committee hearing in a tumbrel would be rather nice.
Heās so stupid and out of his depth that I think heāll break down and sob āPlease donāt hurt meā before they ask one question.
That picture of former chair Bob Goodlatte next to Chairman Nadler is priceless,looks like heās taking and infusion of the arrogance he and his GOP cohorts where throwing around when they were in charge,and hes not liking it.
Good. I love that. I want more of it.
I think he doesnāt show, for no reason other than it would be the stupidest thing possible.
