Given the opportunity to walk back his comments, before joining the Justice Department, that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation might be a “witch hunt,” acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker declined to do so at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Friday.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) brought up Whitaker’s “witch hunt” comment, which he made in a CNN column, that if Mueller probed President Trump’s finances it “would raise serious concerns that the special counsel’s investigation was a mere witch hunt.”
“Would you say the special counsel’s investigations is a witch hunt? Are you overseeing a witch hunt?” Cohen said.
Instead of addressing the comments, Whitaker said it would be inappropriate for him to talk about an ongoing investigation.
Whitaker not understand question. Whittaker not see Harry Potter movies. Mom say too intense for Whitaker.
“Instead of addressing the comments, Whitaker said it would be inappropriate for him to talk about an ongoing investigation.”
But he has done so. He is claiming that his actions were inappropriate.
Awesome.

Well, how about witches? Would it be appropriate to talk about witches? And how about the courageous hunters of those witches? Can we talk about them?
Stand your ground?
Is he made of wood?
