Lewandowski pumps life into Trump obstruction story

[mfcorey1]

WASHINGTON — Corey Lewandowski's testimony may have felt a bit circus-like at times for House Democrats, but it was a disaster for President Donald Trump.

The first hearing of the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee's effort to develop articles of impeachment against Trump was a contentious affair in which Lewandowski, Trump's 2016 campaign manager and the lone witness, said Democrats "hate this president more than they love their country."

But no one — not Lewandowski nor committee Republicans — seriously disputed the central theme of the day: that Trump had gone to extreme lengths in circumventing the entirety of the federal government to get Lewandowski, his former campaign manager, to instruct then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to publicly announce the president had done nothing wrong and limit the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe in 2017.

Ultimately, Lewandowski put flesh on the bones that Mueller gave the committee in his report.

1. This is the correct and accurate way to report what happened today. N/T

[Hortensis]

2. Lewandowski did or the Democrats put him on TV to display it?

It's not really all in the telling, but it is for 99% of the us.

3. Republicans screeching today did not help them with people

Who have common sense. They came across as screeching crows or, maybe buzzards.

[Hortensis]

4. :) Hope so. They certainly demonstrated their own contempt

for what congress is meant to be.

Never say the Republican leadership has no use for women, though. Some earned their pay today dutifully smirking and ostentatiously ignoring, laughing and chatting with neighbors, checking their phones while the cameras were running.

5. Enjoy it

While they can.

6. :) This is almost certainly as good as it gets for them,

clowning for the cameras as they desperately try to block and then delay the cascade of adverse court decisions that Judiciary's Swalwell said will be coming down eventually.

9. I expected Gym to jump on the table, tear his shirt off

And rant.

Mike Barnicle asked if that is the guy who can not afford a jacket.

7. they wanted "The Jerry Springer Show" instead of CourtTV

Real trials and hearings are not supposed to be game shows, but that's what GOPers and MSM want.

8. That is all they have.

The Freedom Caucus is hollowed out. Gym Jordan, mark Meadows,Steve Scalise and DUI Gaetz, late joiner is all they have left.

Mike Turner, my Congress person tried last time with his pile of Law books switched sides a little when his daughter had to run for her life in the Oregon District massacre came out for gun control the next day. Not fun when it is one of yours.

11. the problem is that that is not what the media talked about

as always the the media is by corporate people supporting corporate people ignoring the rest of us

10. "...but it was a disaster for president trump" -

I wish one of these “disasters for president trump” really had a decisive effect.
