Matt Whitaker — the acting attorney general who has come under scrutiny for alleged ethics issues and for his comments bashing special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe — will testify publicly in front of the House Judiciary Committee on February 8, its chairman Jerrold Nadler announced Tuesday.
The appearance will be Whitaker’s first in front of Congress since Trump picked him to succeed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was ousted over his recusal from the federal Russia investigation. The hearing was announced as Trump’s nominee to permanently replace Sessions, former Attorney General Bill Barr, was testifying for his confirmation hearings in front of the Senate Judiciary committee.
Whitaker’s testimony will be part of the new Congress’ first “oversight hearing looking into the policies, management, and decision making at the Department of Justice,” according to the Judiciary Committee statement announcing his appearance.

Awesome. I think I’ll clear my calendar so that I can watch the hearing and watch him spiral downward.
from behind the curtain …
Jim Jordan was heard to whisper …
" Hey Doug … ask him how much he can lift ! "
" Niiice ! "
I expect him to show his true colors and either step down, and then decline to appear, or claim some scheduling conflict at the last minute.
The only way they get this grifter to testify is if the send the Sargent at arms to arrest him, and forcibly bring him. Nothing good can come to this grifter in being dragged before congress.
