💯Barry Berke absolutely killed it. Every lawyer and law student must watch this segment of the hearing. Such amazing cross-examination of Corey Lewandowski.

The YouTube vid of Barry Berke (a lawyer) getting Corey Lewandowski to essentially admit that he’s an out-and-out liar on TV is compelling viewing. Berke builds it up, piece by piece. Lewandowski looks like a cornered rat.

Full exchange between Corey Lewandowski and House Judiciary Counsel Barry Berke

1. 👀

Cool! I’d been looking for this.

[malaise]

2. He also nailed him to his book cover

It was delish!

[global1]

3. I'd Like To See Him Go Toe-to-Toe With Trump.....

that would be a thing of beauty. I believe he could get Trump to lose it.

4. So Lewandowski is a liar. They all are. How about someone pays.

[Peregrine Took]

5. I hope they have him on long term retainer.

My only question is should he be used in the beginning (when all the cameras are on) or later in the day when the poor mope is pooped?

10. He wasn't just popped, but his arrogant ass was caught off-guard

[Hortensis]

6. Yes. :) Like most top pros, he made it look so easy.

Just imagine what he'd look like in top gear!

I looked, and he's not a prosecutor. His experience is mostly in criminal defense.

15. I loved how Barry was so calm, never flustered. He stuck to his point and kept steamrolling.

Loved it so much I was repeatedly cheering.

[Hortensis]

16. Lol. I went from occasionally paying attention to riveted and rewinding.

[Sneederbunk]

7. Committees need to learn to use pro questioners and not individual congressmen/women.

[meadowlander]

17. And five minute questions blocks are bullshit.

All of these witnesses can Gish gallop their way through five minutes. What they can't do is sit there for two hours and answer questions from a professional prosecutor without incriminating either themselves or Trump.

8. Correct me if I'm wrong but believe I read that Mr. Berke works in Mr. Nadler's law office and is

that office's top litigator. What a compliment from the boss to be asked to ask questions on a panel you're not even a member of, or a politician to boot. You go Barry.

11. I met Barry Berke almost 20 years ago

He immediately impressed me as one of the smartest people I had ever encountered, and I got less than a minute to chat. He was representing an acquaintance from the UK at the time, and my English friend told me that Barry was one of the most highly paid young lawyers in New York City. I guess he made his money and now wants to have some experience doing something interesting. Chopping up an eel like Lewindowscki seems pretty interesting!

[monmouth4]

12. And, he did it so nicely with a sort of smile on his face. Class all the way..n/t

[DFW]

13. Apparently, that is his style

Of course, if you know you can run mental rings around anyone else in the room, especially hostile, lying witnesses, it's great theater to smile while ripping them to shreds.

[monmouth4]

14. It was a lovely thing to watch..n/t

[Guilded Lilly]

9. The calm and pointed dismantling of Lewandowski's slimey character...

and arrogant book promotion was as rewarding as the rest of the hearing was migraine inducing.

Anymore I haven’t got a clue just where these hearings will actually get us, as, so far, rule of law has been trampled and defiled by Republicans to the point that nothing seems to matter.

But proving that Lewandowski is reeking scum did bring a certain satisfaction!

[ooky]

18. Lewandowski is walking around today with a brand new

asshole, courtesy of Mr. Berke.

[ffr]

19. One torn so cleanly and precisely that it looked like it was done by a specialist

Barry, could have a second side career if he chose.
