I believe the Democrats are trying to confirm who's under investigation and who isn't with their line of questioning. They also are trying to get in front of how the Mueller probe report is probably going to exonerate the President. They need to keep it in people's minds that RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA is legitimate when it clearly, based on public information, is not! They tried to trap Whitaker into admitting he believes it isn't a witch hunt so they could use that sound byte for propaganda purposes. Keep thinking about the why they are asking these questions anons. We can glean a lot from how nervous these people are to keep control of the narrative and the questions they are asking.
