Ex-DOJ Official: Whitaker Testimony ‘An Embarrassment To The DOJ’ | The Last Word | MSNBC

"Senator Chris Murphy On Donald Trump's ‘Foreign Policy Garbage Fire’"


MSNBC
Published on Feb 8, 2019

Former Justice Department official Lisa Graves says that Matthew Whitaker's "contemptuous" testimony before the
Judiciary Committee was a disgrace to his office. Ari Melber also discusses the controversial hearing with Matt Miller.

After watching the hearing i'd guess it's more likely than not Whitaker is subpoenaed back to enable
the committee to gain answers to a number of questions they were unable to gain from him today.

Related to that:

The response to AAG Whittaker from Committee Chairman Congressman Nadler was carefully worded...it leaves open the
ability of the Committee to subpeona Whittaker on another day if he is not forthcoming before the Committee today (Friday).

[..]
The exchange was a remarkable breach of decorum between two branches of government. It is highly unusual for a witness, much
less an official serving in an acting capacity, to challenge the chairman of a congressional committee that oversees his department.
