Why Trump is cuddling up to Corey Lewandowski?

Wants him to run for the US Senate in New Hampshire or somewhere?

Trump wants Corey to be his buddy.

Because Corey is about to be subpoenaed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to clarify some answers he gave the Special Counsel, Mr Mueller. He gave them under oath.

So it is important to Donald that Corey fight the subpoenas all the way.

The most humiliating Obstruction of Justice episode IMO is his desperate attempts to get Lewandowski to fire Sessions, and also (I think this is accurate, correct me if I'm wrong) he dictates a ridiculous speech to Lewandowski to give Sessions, that Sessions is supposed to give, personally vouching for the great character of Trump and calling for the Mueller investigation to end.

Trump wanted him to get Sessions to say that it only applied to future elections, as I recall? Definitely wanted to end the Mueller investigation.

You're right: It was future elections only.

Trump is so gutless. He never confronts anyone to his or her face. This was an incredible example of his sheer cowardice.

"Lewandowski was such a schmuck I fired him. But he is the bestest person ever to be your Senator."

Things will not get better until he's gone.
