Whitaker makes another remark about members' time, this time in regards to Rep. Shiela Jackson-Lee.

Jackson-Lee: "Mr Attorney General, we're not joking here. And your humor is not acceptable. Now, you're here because we have a constitutional duty to ask questions." Via CSPAN2 pic.twitter.com/IY5UZh8uvU
