Nadler To Lewandowski: Don't Tempt Me. We'll Hold You In Contempt Of Congress

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.

JUST IN: House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler says that holding Corey Lewandowski "in contempt" is "certainly under consideration."

"Mr. Lewandowski, your behavior in this hearing room has been completely unacceptable." http://abcn.ws/2Ap9a1x

Wish I had been there; I would have told him “go ahead, all I have is CONTEMPT FOR CONGRESS”.

Whats he going to do, lock me up, use harsh language on me?

I would have been hard pressed not to tell him “ shut the f#ck up, you little fat, ugly, penguin son of a bitch”.

I would do the time with a smile on my face.

“Corey Lewandowski sent Nadless and the Democrats into outer orbit today, it was beautiful. “

Trump trolled them by proxy.

What does being held in “Contempt of Congress” even mean since Obama’s AG Holder didn’t even show up to testify in the Fast and Furious fiasco. Is there a fine you pay or is a badge of honor to get to wear?

I’m so sorry to hear you lost your Mom. I often say that I miss my Mom so much it hurts but I’m glad she didn’t witness 9/11 and the downfall of our Republic, since.

The most moving, direct, and illuminating statement made by Corey Lewandowski of this hearing:

"I THINK THAT THIS FAKE RUSSIA COLLUSION NARRATIVE IS THE GREATEST CRIME COMMITTED AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN OUR GENERATION IF NOT EVER. THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO WAS DULY ELECTED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND MEMBERS OF CERTAIN BODIES REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE ELECTION RESULTS. IF THIS WERE DONE BY A DIFFERENT PRESIDENT TO A DIFFERENT PARTY THE SAME WAY IT WAS DONE TO DONALD TRUMP, THAT PERSON WOULD ALREADY BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE AND PEOPLE WOULD BE IN JAIL. BUT WHEN YOU SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA ITS A DIFFERENT SET OF RULES. I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIND IT UNFAIR AND THERE'S BEEN NO ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOV GOVERNMENT FOR THE FISA ABUSE APPLICATIONS WHICH TRANSPIRED. THE SPYING ON AMERICANS CLEARLY IN VIOLATION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT OR THE LIVES RUINED BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SUPPORT A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND IT'S SHAMEFUL.

This whole charade is about Jerry The Hutt trying to buff up his progressive/socialist points to avoid being AOCed in the primary. The upside is that any Normals paying attention get to see the little bastard at his most disagreeable.

BUMP!

I fully agree and it came at a most appropriate time, right after SJ Lee lost her “idiot” objection argument with Nadless overruling it.
