Former senior FBI official Chuck Rosenberg ripped Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker on Friday night, calling his testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee “disgraceful.”
"I’ve testified many times in Congress," Rosenberg, who served as chief of staff under former FBI Director James Comey and as a U.S. attorney in the Bush (and Obama) administration(s), explained during an interview on MSBNC.
"Sometimes the questions are good and thoughtful, sometimes they’re compound and incomprehensible, but you have to answer every one with a degree of civility and dignity, and that was sorely lacking.”
Whitaker sparred with various lawmakers during his appearance before the Judiciary panel on Friday, with Democrats peppering him with questions for hours and blasting his responses to certain questions.
At one point, the Trump administration official shocked committee members and spectators alike after he told Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) that his time for questioning had run out.
“Mr. Chairman, I see that your five minutes is up,” Whitaker said, drawing gasps from the panel and a packed crowd.
“I am here voluntarily. We have agreed to five-minute rounds,” he added.
Lawmakers routinely go over their five-minute time limits for questioning, and it is particularly rare for a witness to accuse the chairman of a panel of having gone over his time limit.
“The committee will come to order. I will point out we didn't enforce the five-minute rule on acting Attorney General Whitaker,” Nadler responded.
During the hearing, Whitaker also said he had not interfered in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow in 2016.
Rosenberg has emerged as a staunch critic of the Trump administration, often appearing on cable news to denounce what he says is the president’s mistreatment of the Justice Department.
Mueller’s probe? It’s lookin more and more like the first South Park episode, Cartman gets an anal probe.
Remember a gentleman named Eric Holder. He clothed himself in blanket privilege, far more than Whitiker did.
Whitiker refused to be bullied around, did a formidable job.
More proof that the obama fbi was full of deep staters who hated free people.
Comey’s fbi was disgraceful to include rosenberg.
JoMa

NEED WE SAY MORE he is dirty too
Sheila Jackson Lee, she is the knucklehead who called Mars a country, is from Houston, TX. She repeatedly asked two questions in one sentence and demanded a single Yes or No.
The woman is dumber than a rock and loves to get authoritarian while pointing her finger at the witmess.
One shameful person who has no shame.
WTH??
His football number at U of Iowa was 46.
Nadler wasn’t intellectually competent to ask his own questions. He had them written up by staff members and couldn’t even read them without stumbling over the words. He’s a national disgrace.
Rosenberg gone, now when when is Rosenstein going to be gone?
“Whitaker was very patient. I applaud him. “
I’d be up on contempt charges for the abuse and foul language I would have heaped on these filthy democrats.
What did this guy think when that muzzie congress women called Pres Trump a MFr?
This guy is a brainwashed snowflake - Whittaker gave them exactly what the clowns deserved..to meekly bend to their asinine wills is to give credence to their bad partisan behavior.
Poor widdle boo-boo-ga-ga all teary-eyed at push back defense when the walking dead run at you with machetes.
I would love to be in front of them and the cameras just to have them listen attentively to me as I politely tell them ....to go GF themselves.
I just discovered that Whitaker was a starting tight end for Iowa and played in the 91 Rose Bowl.,
Flushed out of government with Cardinal Comey.
-—How dare him not grovel at their feet.——
Exactly....
“This hearing is pointless,” ranking Repub member Doug Collins said in his opening statement. “If this is the way we’re going to go, then we’ll have plenty of stunts, we’re going to have plenty of theatrics. Bring your popcorn.” https://politi.co/2UOExuC

Yes or no.....yes or no......yes or no.
Rosenberg, probably an Obama plant in the FBI, did not see the hearings as the public saw them. The RATS came out swinging, asking the same questions over and over, shouting at Whitaker, and showed the public the nasty scum bags they are. They met their match with Whitaker and he stood his ground. Trump should keep him in his administration. Trump should put him in charge of the US Attorneys office in NY<
