It’s why the Evil Party can always beat the Stupid Party.

Whitaker is pathetic and weak. He’ll sweat his way through an embarrassing 3 hours of hell.

"Whitaker looks like he has a terrible cold coming on......"

He should use Hillary's excuse of falling down, and hitting his head.

Whitaker can take Eric Holder’s position and just ignore them.

You know, that raises an interesting point.

If you or I got a subpoena from a court, we'd have to show up. If we didn't we'd be arrested, hauled in front of the judge, and probably sentenced for contempt of court.

But Congress isn't a Court. It has subpoena power in name, but if someone blows them off--like Holder--don't they need to convince an attorney to go before a judge to then enforce the subpoena? Good luck getting the very same DOJ attorney to show up who you'd have to ask to prosecute the ignoring of the subpoena.

And, there's another thing. Whitaker is an acting appointee. He might not want to create a precedent where Congress is bossing around the DOJ by responding, or appearing to respond, to their subpoena.

Thoughts?

GOP gave the House to the Rats for this very purpose and to strengthen the “resistance” to our President.

Yeah - they sure can get away with it - remember judge greer, that FL judge that condemned Terri Shiavo to death? He blew them off - TWICE! And, nothing happened to him!

Nadler has lost a lot of weight but I’m waiting for that glorious day when he losses his Marxist mind, totally.

Come on Dementia, do your thing! Oh wait, he’s already demented. “Let’s go for Alzheimer’s for $1,000 Alex”.

Only Democrats can ignore subpoenas. You will see what a congress can do when it is not lead by a spineless puke like Ryan.

Ryan wasn’t spineless. He was actively opposed to President Trump and his America-first agenda.

If the President authorizes Whitaker to Publicly Disclose any relevant Classified Information regarding the FISA docs, He could really have some fun with them.
