When you become any person paid by citizen's taxes, you no longer have a private comment.. only a big mouth.

is anyone here (on this twitter thread) in their 80s - and still working? what job do you do? and i don’t mean to imply anything but why are you not retired? also - do you think snake in the grassley should still be wielding so much power over us? i mean he had his chance right?

Klee34036780 Love Grassley! MAGA StopTheSteal

He has a right to his opinion just like everyone else

That's a great answer to not answer the real question.

Bruh

One sick bastard! Grassley is an entitled white male, who is out of touch with working-class Americans- a businessman, who has no morals or ethics, a man with a lot of defense mechanism which prevents him from accepting or seeing reality

He's a public official and any anything he said in earshot of another person is public.

Really?

Dems: Strzok and Page can text and say what they want on their jobs. It's their First Amendment rights and does not show bias and would not affect how they do their job. Dems: Whitaker expressed his opinion on 'news' programs as a private citizen and must recuse himself!

Big difference. You people hate every day. How about positive news. Fair news

He will express concerns when it’s all too late and democracy is gone...

Sen Grassley dont even know what year it is!

this relic has to go

Wow.

Whaa?

Funny Chuck..you didn't think the same about Peter Strophf(sp?) FBI agent about his private narratives. Then you all said he was bias. Well the same goes for Whitaker

What if he killed someone as a private citizen? Would that be ok if he promised not to do it again? What a tool.

Is his ass grass too?

Grassley makes my skin crawl.

That’s the type of mindset a confirmation process sorts out. That’s why the only individuals that should sit in the AG and DAG are persons nominated and confirmed by elected members. Period. This is why Rosenstein should in the acting AG position.

Boy they are so worried about somebody interfering with them Mueller probe, what are they hiding?

Really...what drivel

You are a Trumpie kids A**!

Wow. Still stupid. Too bad the American people were not smart enough to make the senate blue.

Offices are held by private citizens. They don't become different people because they hold office. GOPLogic

Pointless

Grassley is complicit!

You are too old to park you own car! Who cares what you think?

Private views and public service are seldom separable.

He doesn’t care if someone lies under oath to his face either

Caveman Grassley out asap

And this is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee GOP

Grassley is a fraud

These people take sexual assault lightly and at some point impede investigation. So, don't expect them to suddenly be impartial.

Another moron, and as someone that lives, literally, 2 minutes from Iowa, I've seen a lot of sh/7 this relic has done.

And yet the same people that believe Whitaker has a conflict, also demand the most compromised man on the planet, Rosenstein, be named AG!! 😂🤣😂

We need a younger congress! People not locked into 'the way we always do it'. People actually willing to put country first a forge a new way to get our business done.

Scum bucket, both of them

I think it’s high time he retires and gets packing

Isn't that funny... that logic never seemed to apply to certain employees of the FBI...

Just wow🤦🏾‍♀️

Comments made as a private citizen reflect personal biases and feelings. If he wanted the job those remarks should have never passed his lips.

And when will Grassley be a private citizen?

Ridiculous!

Idiot

ChuckGrassley is too worried about getting his greedy paws on that farm welfare money to think about his job in the Senate.

Boom! You’ve been Chuck “kickin Ass” Grassley. Haha

🤦🏻‍♂️

If Trump is found guilty in the Russian investigation Grassley could lose a lot of money....of course he's not going to be concerned about Whittaker...

I am calling Bull Shit!

He is only a private citizen in the privacy of his home!!! So unless he said it there, then he should not have an opinion!

Grassley needs to go.

DianeEWalker1 Awe come on. We need to dig deeper, check out his college bros, peek at his yearbook. Ask the tough questions, like 'Did you eat glue in 1st grade '?

I wish that this annoyance would retire or he be voted out of office. I cant stand him

Grassley you are just like McConnell and Graham. Total obstructionists

Grassley:

What a terrible comment. The views you hold in private are always the ones you promote when in power. There is no other logic.

Here is a fourth question. Who you selling your soul to after 2020 when ur time is up?

You’re kidding. Really?

That statement by Committee Chairman Grassley is so nonsensical it is mindbending.

A correct, polite and proper answer given by Sen, Grassley. I am satisfied with his answer.

Private citizen?!

Go away!

BS

Reporters should know better than ask these mummies this type of questions. They always bs them.

Chuck Grassley is so old he looks like he ejaculates sawdust.

How many Republicans are compromised in this investigation?

Grassley is so ghastly...

Good for Grassley— these bright eyed and bushy tailed commie journo’s trying to make him look bad. Guys seen everything, ain’t happening!

Gotta love freedom of speech, right fake news?

😐

Made as a private citizen or not the mindset is still the same.

That comment is totally absurd! Its time for him to go somewhere and sit down.

Again the republicans are blinded by 45. Can’t wait for 2020

A tired old dinosaur that no longer represents the new American democracy.

Poor old, really old, Chuck.

GOP all complicit traitors. WHAT HAS PUTIN got on them ALL? it's just beyond shocking and SHAMEFUL. UN-AMERICAN!

What?!

Or while drunk. Or while blacked out. Or just written in a yearbook. Or in papers we hid citing executive privilege. Or in papers we’ve slowrolled out. Or in a calendar. Or in a diary.......

That ain't what he said about Pete and Lisa. I guess he didn't text on a gov't fone, so it's all good.

Wrong answer traitor

I can’t.

You should retire you bias old man

Then what’s the problem with what Farrakhan says?(Sarcasm). He’s a private citizen.

wait, what?

They know he's been installed to kill the Mueller investigation. They don't care if Trump is running an organized crime ring out of the WH! They don't care about Democracy! The people spoke last Tuesday and they're not buying what Cult 45 are selling!

They're coming after you, too, Chuckie. Isn't there something about $3.5 million from a ruskie oligarch? Asking for a friend. But are you SERIOUS about what you just said about Whitaker? Duh! Maybe it's time to check out the farm.

ITS CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEACH! 1 ammendment only matters for leftists
