Can't think of a more loyal staunch trump advocate. Wonder what he's got up his sleeve. Too eager?

So far, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is the only witness to agree to attend the hearing that is expected to focus on a key episode of possible obstruction by Trump, as laid out in former special counsel Robert Muellers report.
But Democrats say the White House made the unprecedented step late Monday night in seeking to limit the testimony of someone who has never served in the administration, by claiming such discussions fall under "Executive Branch confidentiality interests."
"Mr. Lewandowski's conversations with the President and with senior advisers to the President are protected from disclosure by long-settled principles protecting Executive Branch confidentiality interests and, as a result, the White House has directed Mr. Lewandowski not to provide information about such communications beyond the information provided in the portions of the Report that have already been disclosed to the Committee," White House counsel Pat Cipollone wrote in a letter to Nadler.

thanks,
In an odd way, I'm kind of glad he tweeted this.
Nadler has Cippilone's letter saying that Lewandowski's testamony will be limited to the Mueller Report.
If I remember correctly, Lewandowski is mentioned in the report like 120 times.
I see a whole bunch of opportunities for perjury.

we have to wait for the courts to rule on the others who is he ordering to obstruct.
