House Judiciary to Hold Corey Lewandowski in Contempt After He Trolls Dems, Refuses to Answer Questions During Hearing
The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to hold Corey Lewandowski in contempt for refusing to answer questions during this week?s ?impeachment hearing.
?
The House Judiciary Committee held its first ?impeachment hearing? Tuesday afternoon.
Trump?s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared before the Democrat-led committee Tuesday and the hearing descended into chaos as Lewandowski refused to answer questions and trolled the inept Democrat lawmakers.
Lewandowski, a loyal and devoted supporter of Trump defended the President during his opening statement and slammed the feckless Democrats for their $40 million Trump-Russia witch hunt.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler became flustered after Lewandowski refused to answer questions about his private conversations with President Trump and defaulted to his scripted non-answer.
One of the best lines during Tuesday?s hearing was in response to Democrat Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee?s (TX) incoherent rant.
Lewandowski shut down Sheila Jackson Lee with his perfect response. ?Could you repeat the question? I didn?t hear it. Just a rant,? Lewandowski said.
The Dems are triggered and want to hold Corey Lewandowski in contempt.
The Hill reported:
Democrats are pressuring House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to hold Corey Lewandowski in contempt of Congress after the former Trump campaign manager stonewalled lawmakers during his testimony earlier in the week.
?He operated in contempt of Congress, and yes, I believe he should be? held in contempt.
?And I?ve expressed that to the chair,? Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.), a member of the Judiciary panel, told The Hill on Thursday.
?The only purpose to do it is to have teeth in it and to send a message to Mr. Lewandowski that he has to come forth, tell the truth and live up to his obligations under the subpoena,? she added. ?His performance was an absurdity.?
Both Nadler and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have expressed interest in holding Lewandowski in contempt, with Pelosi telling members on Thursday that Democrats should have acted ?right then and there? at Tuesday?s Judiciary hearing when Lewandowski refused to cooperate with Democrats.
But Pelosi also seemed to defer any decisions to Nadler.
?I trust the committee and the path that they are on,? she said Thursday.
The Democrats no longer legislate. All they do is harass President Trump and his associates as they continue with their coup to remove Trump from office.

Core Lewandowski, the former campaign manager for part of the 2016 campaign of President Donald Trump, has been on fire.
He shredded Democrats on Tuesday as they attempted to use him as a weapon to help the impeachment of President Trump.
On Wednesday he stepped into the fire on CNN and he faced anchor Alisyn Camerota and had her running from his questions.
CAMEROTA: There?s another moment that?s gotten a lot of attention.
Where you basically admitted the conditions with which you tell the truth. So let?s play this moment.
Camerota then played a video of Lewandowski?s testimony to the House Democrats on Tuesday where she thought she got him.
LEWANDOWSKI: I?m a truth teller every time I stand before Congress, or a committee of jurisdiction, and raise my hand and swear to God under oath.
BARRY BERKE : My question, sir, is when you said the President never asked you to get involved with Mr. Sessions ?
LEWANDOWSKI: I have no obligation to have a candid conversation with the media whatsoever, just like they have no obligation to cover me honestly. And they do it inaccurately all the time.
BERKE: So you?re admitting that on national television you were lying there?
LEWANDOWSKI: What I?m saying is, they?ve been inaccurate on many occasions and perhaps I was inaccurate that time.
Camerota used that video to accuse Lewandowski of lying to the media and the American people, which is not what he said.
CAMEROTA: Okay, Corey, so just to be clear. You only feel the obligation to tell the truth when you?re under oath?
LEWANDOWSKI: Which is clearly more than some of your contributors. As you know, Andy McCabe, who has a criminal referral, who?s a CNN contributor, was not accurate under oath.
?He has a criminal referral for lying to the FBI, for lying to the Inspector General on three separate occasions.
?But Alisyn, you and your network continue to use him as a contributor, who has been lying under oath! And so, if you?re going to hold me to a standard, hold your same employees and contributors to that same standard. I have no criminal referrals.
CAMEROTA: Corey, just a simple question. It?s just a simple question about ?
LEWANDOWSKI: Alisyn, excuse me. Excuse me ?
CAMEROTA: Answer the question.
LEWANDOWSKI: I?ll be happy to answer your question and I?ll be held to the same standard as the employees and contributors to CNN which means ?
CAMEROTA: What are you talking about?
LEWANDOWSKI: When I am under oath, I will tell the truth. That can?t be said, the truth, as James Comey, or Andrew McCabe, who?s employed by CNN.
