Republicans are shouting about nothing not just because that’s their default mode when the cameras are on, but because they’re genuinely frustrated at how they’re losing the broader battle over the Mueller probe.
That question led to this highlight, in which committee chair Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) asked Whitaker whether he has had to approve any particular actions by the special counsel, since Mueller must get approval before opening up new lines of investigation or taking certain important steps. Whitaker’s attempt to evade the question was so ham-handed that the entire room burst out in a combination of shock and derisive laughter:
I’m sure Trump plays out an alternate history in his mind over and over, in which he appointed someone else to be attorney general at the beginning of his presidency, and that person not only never appointed a special counsel in the first place but also made sure that any questions about Russia were quietly shelved. Instead, we got Mueller conducting what seems to be a thorough and aggressive probe. No amount of evaded questions or Republican shouting at hearings or angry tweets has been able to stop it.
Whitaker hearing confirms it: On Mueller probe, Democrats have already won
Most of us knew this two years ago.
???
What have the Dems won?

What have the Dems won?
RIF: Reading is Fundamental
The leftwing deflation will be monumental when this whole thing fizzles. I expect they'll angrily lash out at first and then realize it's over and get nearly suicidal. In any case, get your popcorn in plenty of time.:lol:
Hardly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Democrats just looked like nasty AHs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thus sayeth the WaPo.Whitaker hearing confirms it: On Mueller probe, Democrats have already won
Most of us knew this two years ago.
???
What have the Dems won?
Oh I don’t think so. We’ve removed a foreign agent from the tippy top of the national security apparatus among other successes by raiding the criminal rat’s nest Trump calls his inner circle. Lots of success to celebrate.
Yea, who might that be?
Trump hires only the best people.The confirmation that a single large anonymous donor (most likely Sheldon Adelson) is doing a Gipetto act with a large bald man whose only prior claim to fame was CEO of a patent company that touts toilets supposedly designed for well endowed men who say that their pee pees touch the water when they sit down, oh and...a bit of time travel, Sasquatch dolls and bitcoin.
Composing nasty emails is a very important skill for any government employee.Oh yeah, said bald puppet also pretty good at sending threatening emails, too.
Michael Flynn.
I see, so the guy who served decades in the military, including in combat, is a traitor. That would be laughable if it wasn't so disgraceful. Flynn did nothing that any National Security advisor wouldn't do as part of preparing for his job. He was simply strong armed and threatened by Mueller in his efforts to get Trump. When a special prosecutor can have unlimited power to coerce, we have entered dangerous territory. The worst part, too, is that NOTHING Flynn has been charged with has a damn thing to do with collusion. It's pathetic and shameful.
Well I'm a 'don't count your chickens' guy but it is heartening to know at least the investigation can't easily be shut down on a whim. From the OP article:
"If Trump had actually persuaded anyone to obstruct the Mueller probe on his behalf, he wouldn’t be tweeting “Witch hunt!!!” every few days. Those are the desperate cries of a man who wishes his underlings would obstruct justice on his behalf, but isn’t getting what he wants."
What was that about "Republican shouting"?
Oh yeah--
Michael Flynn was a paid operative of one foreign government and was fired for lying about his machinations with a second foreign government. The founders would have sent him swinging from the gallows for treason.
BS. He hasn't been charged with anything remotely close to that and the besmirching of him by the rabid left is a disgrace.
I read the snippet that the OP presented from the article. I wasn't able to read the article because of the WaPo paywall.
I'm not aware of Whitaker trying to stop the Mueller investigation. So, again, I ask: What have the Democrats won?
He plead guilty. Traitor.
