House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) threatened to hold former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in contempt of Congress because of his "refusal to answer questions" relating to the Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.
"Mr. Lewandowski, your behavior in this hearing room has been completely unacceptable. It is part of a pattern of a White House desperate for the American people not to hear the truth," Nadler said. “I’ve been asked several times today whether the Committee will hold you in contempt. It is certainly under consideration."
"There is a far more troubling level of contempt on display here today and that is President Trump's role in your refusal to answer questions. The pattern of obstruction laid out in the Mueller report has not stopped," Nadler explained. "You showed the American people in real time that the Trump administration will do anything and everything in its power to obstruct the work of the Congress. The president's lawyers are sitting behind you right now to make sure that you do not answer us."
According to Nadler, Congress is focused on exposing "corruption, obstruction and abuse of power."
"Make no mistake, we will hold President Trump accountable," Nadler concluded.
Lewandowski refused to answer questions relating to previous conversations with President Trump. He cited executive privilege as his reason for not providing insight.
From The Hill :
The remarks came after Democrats tussled for more than five hours with Lewandowski over his involvement in a possible obstruction episode as laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller 's report. In particular, they sought to have the longtime Trump ally answer questions about Trump asking Lewandowski to pass along a message to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2017 that urged him to reverse his recusal and set limits on the Russia probe.
Lewandowski ultimately turned to then-White House official Rick Dearborn to deliver the letter. Dearborn did not ultimately follow through, telling investigators that the request made him uncomfortable.

You think life ain’t fair? Heard of the Siamese twin whose brother is gay?
2. Yeah, kinda got carried away a bit. But, man, I am an old guy now. I grew up in the 1950s and early 60's. I remember when people went to Church on Sunday or otherwise kept quiet until Church was over. They did not crank up the lawn mowers during services and run the noisy things during services, LIKE THEY DO NOW!!! People supported the military more back then. They remembered WWII. Sadly Vietnam changed everything! Vietnam started a different era, a different time. Sad. America is dying a slow death. It is going down because over half of the citizens are killing it and don't give a tinkers damn if it does die because they think everything will be hunky dorie as a communist nation, EVEN THOUGH communism or socialism NEVER WORKED in a country. It only resulted in the deaths of millions of that nation's citizens. Just ask, if you could, the 60 million killed in Russia by Uncle Joe Stalin. Ask the 75 million Mao murdered in Red China. Just ask all those murdered in all the commie nations around the world. North Korea is today's Stalin. Thousands dying there every month. Eating tree bark ain't no Big Mac!!!
Sorry, another rant. Uggggg :-)
Drunk on power.
I can type what I think. Just not in this box, and certainly not hit Post twice. There’s an election coming up, and your slimy tricks won’t work forever, Nadler. Justice is coming, and I don’t mean Socialist Justice, where two wolves and a sheep vote on the dinner menu.
I like that. Two wolves and a sheep. It explains exactly how they like it.
Pigs.
When does nadler get the pronouncement that he is out of order and shut up.... stop the interrogations of people he does not like.. just because he sits in that chair.. When he has abused his position... I want to know why someone else tells him he can’t do this!
That is my question of the year... why isn’t there a place where a person can be removed for abusing his/her seat in the government. They want to measure, babysit, every word or action Trump makes and they are abusing their position every day.
Hobbits like Nadler feel tough and powerful when they are sitting on 10 telephone books behind a desk
Fat no more, but still a worm.
