When o when will Dems find assholes like Lewandowski in contempt and put their sorry butts in jail? Today's hearing is a complete waste of my time. I simply cannot tolerate the GOP.

(5,810 posts)It was way beyond annoying to watch him just dodge, weave and eat up time with his non answers. After it became perfectly obvious what he was doing (with additional help from the Repubs) they should shut it down, call for the sergeant at arms to come get him and arrest his nasty ass. Make a lesson for anyone else who thinks they are there to play games.

I do agree that dems should set the stage for a strong SAA arrest.

(6,855 posts)I understand where [Rick] Wilson is coming from but while the "drama" might ease his, and others, "do something fix" the House's arrest powers and ability to lock someone like Lewandowski up are too weak. They could only hold him for a day or two at best and you're back at square one because Barr's DOJ is complicit in all this.
Lewandowski just committed perjury and obstruction in public. Normally a referral to the DOJ for prosecution would be the norm but that's where Barr's complicity comes in.
As it stands the Democrats only real option is to drag these fuckers before them and let them build there own case for perjury and obstruction. Cite them for contempt and see if the courts will say enough is enough. Then the courts can lock them up with no time limits.
Democrats have to win the presidency so Barr, the DOJ, Wray, the FBI and many in the intelligence services can be cleaned out and prosecuted themselves.
