Whitaker Mocked For Sweating While Lying About the Mueller Probe

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said acting attorney general Matt Whitaker’s prediction that special counsel Robert Mueller was nearly finished was more wishful thinking than inside knowledge.

A visibly sweaty Whitaker surprised reporters Monday with a halting assurance that Mueller would soon conclude his investigation of President Donald Trump — who the “Morning Joe” host said must have pressured his attorney general to make the statement.

“Wow,” said co-host Mika Brzezinski.

Scarborough said Whitaker reminded him of Albert Brooks in “Broadcast News,” or himself in the early days of his TV career.

“Once you know you’re sweating on TV and you tell yourself stop sweating, guess what, it’s just like one of those showers at Comiskey Park,” Scarborough said. - PoliticusUSA

If you fart and I point that out, am I rude for embarrassing you or are you rude for farting openly around other people?

Whitaker was nervous, that was obvious.

Justice will prevail in the end as the truth comes out that Donald Trump is in deep with Russia and has been lying to the American people all this time.
