So do we think he continued the relationship out of fear, arrogance, financial reasons? Like, my nicca, you're going to jail-jail. Why are you still participating or attempting to participate in criminality?

Years of white privilege and never being told no.........

Mood music: Nadler torching Whitaker in opening statement: “Why did President Trump choose to replace Attorney General Sessions with an outspoken critic of the Special Counsel, instead of with any number of qualified individuals who had already received Senate confirmation?”

I will say this, what if the supposed hacking was done by a foreign outfit at the behest of Trump?

Seems that they are hinting that it is the Saudi's. I hope Jeff can prove and his investigation can prove this.

I'm watching Whitaker hearing but I dont expect must to come from it. He's not going to respond truthfully and will invoke executive privileged on most questions. The way he was sweating with reporters questions, I assume he is not good at this and the DOJ as coached him on how to avoid answering.

Edit: this is already a shyt show and it appears some GOP'ers have decided to sit this out.

If democrats by far and large was carrying the energy that they are exerting now, they would have never lost power. A full helping of giving no more fukks is what everyone is serving.

This dude Whitaker is talking about the southern border and immigration. My nicca, we're here for that real work, not that fake immigration issue. Let the questions began.
