Ex-GOP Rep Says Corey Lewandowski Just Gave Dems The First Article Of Impeachment Against Trump



While Corey Lewandowski tried to turn Tuesday’s hearing into a political circus – with the help of the Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee – a former GOP lawmaker says what he really did was give Democrats the first article of impeachment against Donald Trump.

During a discussion with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, former Republican Rep. David Jolly said Lewandowski outed himself as a liar, but he also gave the committee some major ammunition in their ongoing impeachment investigation.

“Lewandowski gave House Judiciary Committee what they needed today for an article of impeachment against the president of the United States for obstruction of justice,” Jolly said.

It's too bad that so many gave up after the rocky start and wrote off the Dems.

They squeezed a lot of important info out of Lewandowski today. Including the fact that the President of the United States dictated to him a message to give to Jeff Sessions, in an effort to stop the Mueller investigation.

Earlier today I was so glum. That Nadler just fiddled himself into a burning Rome.

Maybe not so much.

We NEED to impeach!

Not only to leave a mark on trump for all of history.

But also to warn ALL future presidents that they better not try this shit, too.

As I see it, we have no other choice.

Just the fact that Orange Twitler is trying to exert executive privilege to silence a campaign worker is obstruction.

thinks "executive privilege" applies to any low life who worked for tRump for a short time? What happened to "No man is above the law"? Many of these people like Lewandowski came out of nowhere, right into the WH, with no experience whatsoever. Then they seem to think the law does not apply to them. The ones who are refusing to appear before congress should be arrested. Make an example of some of them, until the rest of them start obeying the laws. The gop is a disgrace, acting like a bunch of frat boys. Gym Jordan makes a total ass of himself every time he appears on TV. Gaetz is just as bad. Now the "screaming meemie" from Georgia is getting his 15 minutes of fame. Aren't there any INTELLIGENT representatives in the gop? Is so, WHERE are they? Maybe those are the ones who are retiring rather than run again.

Corey has tried everything he can to claw his way back into the Trump inner circle ever since he was ousted, but Ivanka and Jared are not having it!

Explains his sucking up. Wonder what Jared thinks about Stephen Miller, Nazi wantabe?

Mueller's report.
At the very least Barr deserves to be disbarred.
