The Witness will Answer the Question: Whitaker's Petulance Falls Flat in House Judiciary

Most people in the media are talking about Whitaker’s fight, the much more important story here is the way Nadler - and through him, the House Judiciary Committee and by extension the House of Representatives - cut him down to size. After Whitaker’s jab, for that time, Nadler no longer referred to Whitaker as “General” or even “Mr. Whitaker.” He called him, “the witness”, and he ordered him to answer the question. He made it plain that Whitaker would not be given any special consideration of his belligerence. He was merely a witness in front of Congress exercising its Constitutional powers, and he was going to respect the authority of the Committee and of Congress.
