This is a fight we dare not lose! Whitaker MUST be subpoenaed and, if necessary, DRAGGED before

[Atticus]

Nadler's committee! And, we cannot simply "let it drop" if/when Barr is confirmed as AG.

The slimy pus-bag now called the "acting" AG and the slimier pus bag who gave him that title BOTH need to be brought to heel. We need to raise holy hell with any politician who dares to condone this.

Yes, I AM very angry and upset about Whitaker DARING to say, essentially, "I'll only answer easy meaningless questions" to Congressman Nadler and his committee. I believe this could be the inflection point which determines whether we ever see the Mueller report, i.e. whether the son of a bitch in our White House "gets away with it"!

[harumph]

1. "dragged"

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. I think they should DRUG him too, with sodium pentothal.

I have a feeling he intends to lie his sweaty ass off.

[Atticus]

4. Thank you. I was "het up" and lapsed into my native hillbillyese. nt

[shanny]

2. fwiw I'd rather drag him than drug him to get him there

we want him as close to sentient as is possible for him

[Wellstone ruled]

5. The Rethug Game plan is to run the Clock.

McConnell needs at least till next Friday to make Barr the AG. This is what this is all about. They already know Whitaker will fold like a cheap chair.

[duforsure]

6. If this abuse is allowed

It will be used forever to obstruct anything with. Even republicans can understand this could happen to them too in the future.

[OliverQ]

7. Ken Dilanian said on MSNBC Dems are overplaying their hand

since there is no way Whitaker will be held in contempt. Takes too long and will have to go through the courts.

[theboss]

10. Eric Holder was held in contemp and it amounted to nothing

I feel like we are in an era of escalating bad precedents starting back with Harry Reid and the filibuster.

[royable]

8. You can drag a Whitaker to committee,

but you can't make him not lie, especially if he holds whatever he's either profited from or being blackmailed on dearer than ten lifetimes in prison.

[Hortensis]

11. Yes, and many are lying, but it's a very dangerous tactic.

Unless -- they are counting on being on a permanently winning side in the end. One where those on the winning side don't get prosecuted.

[Grasswire2]

9. if this is where Trump team takes its stand against The Constitution...

....then we KNOW HOW IMPORTANT his testimony is.

Willing to fight the separation of powers to keep him from speaking under oath?

Must be really, really good stuff.
