In the first 15 mins, Whitaker evades, tries to shut the chairman down for going over his 5 mins, and makes an ass of himself.

Nadler makes it clear that a subpoena is forthcoming, gives Whitaker a few days to get his shit together.

We’re off to the races!
Whitaker will be called to appear in the coming days at which point he will be compelled to clearly designate whether he is claiming executive privilege.
I should say, Nadler didn’t specifically say subpoena, but made it clear that Whitaker will be called back to provide written deposition and specifically declare whether or not he will be declaring exec privilege, and that anything else was unacceptable.
“Mr. Acting Attorney General, your humor is not appropriate!”
Rep Shiela Jackson-Lee wants yes or no answers, and she won’t take any nonsense.

“Answer the question yes or no.”
...
“YES OR NO!”

I’m here for this.
This just in: Rep Gym Jordan, who allowed numerous boys to be molested, and smirked when they came to him for help, is still serving in Congress.

And Republicans say nothing.
Rep Hank Johnson: “You commented on the Roger Stone case. That’s an ongoing investigation. Why would you comment on the Stone investigation, but refuse to answer direct questions on the Mueller investigation?”

Whitaker: “uuuuuuuuh”

Got him there.
