Whitaker has been engaged in robust preparation from the beginning of the government shutdown last month, conducting briefings with every Justice Department component, according to the officials. He's also participated in several mock hearings with career and political appointees since shutdown ended. - CNN

1. K and Rec and...

2. He will not be ready for prime time no matter what.

3. Saw a segment on CNN this morning in which they said Whitaker had been given the list of questions.

Why does he need "significant prep" if he has the questions? Just tell the damn truth.

Great image, btw!

4. Because he's like my paternal grandmother

She’d sooner climb a flagpole to tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.

5. Doesn't It Make You Wonder....

1. Why he needs prep in the first place?
2. What is he hiding?
3. Who is helping to prepare him?
4. What do they know with respect to what is going on - that they need
to prepare him?
5. Just how many people have the knowledge of wrongdoing by Trump,
Trump's people, the Repugs and this whole Russian interference?

It keeps striking me that there is something real big that has gone on behind the scenes and is still going on behind the scenes that certain people don't want us to know.

How big is this thing? Who and how many people were/are involved? Why isn't there a sense of urgency to get to the bottom of this - end it - and put safeguards in our system of government to never have something like this ever happen again in this country?

6. Great questions - Any "journalists" ask them

on the Sunday morning shows?

Probably not.

7. He wouldn't have to prep if the Democrats wouldn't ask "gotcha" questions.

8. Best to resign

and do a Lois Lerner and plead the 5th.
