It was beautiful to watch.

I couldn't tell if Lewandowski was shaking with anger or about to burst into tears. Probably both.

That guy (Barry Berke) came loaded for bear. It was obvious he had prepared and the Repubs didn’t even bother to send a person to quiz Lewandowski. It was laughable to watch Collins try to step up to the plate and get swatted down. He was pissed and I was laughing my ass off. It’s always a good day when the committee adjourns and the Repubs are slinking out while the Dems are walking out heads held high. Bring back Barry Berke. We need more like him!

What was so wonderful about Barry Berke is that
Cory Lewandowski thought he was just gonna walk
out of there, but just before he did, Berke said take
this foot up your ass on the way out. And it hurt.
Cory is limping home. Gingerly.

I think he is happiest that he got closer to the president than so many of those harvard and yale men that had better education than him.

He signed the Mueller report. Isn't that like an Al Capone move?

(who is an expert in this type of thing) to question Corey Lewandowski regarding Lewandowski's role in obstruction of justice.

The guy even started quoting from Lewandowski's book including the stuff that Lewandowski wrote about publicly but then suddenly refused to testify about (or recall) at the hearing. He even called Lewandowski out for autographing copies of the Mueller Report at an event (essentially dismissing the seriousness of the report).
