Showboating for Trump and the party.

He exposed himself for what he is: a traitor.

After he admitted today lying repeatedly on television and insisting it wasn't a problem because he wasn't under oath.

I have a feeling people of New Hampshire don't want to have to swear in their senator every time he speaks just to make sure that he's not lying to them.

Ted Lieu

@tedlieu

Robert Mueller identified 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice. In 5 of those instances, he found "substantial evidence" the crimes were committed. Corey Lewandowski was intimately involved in one of those crimes. He is the witness today at @HouseJudiciary.#TuesdayMotivation

He was obnoxious and refused to answer most questions by claiming privilege. He has no privilege because he did not even work in the White House. He said that Trump had asked him not to discuss the issues—which seems like blatant obstruction of justice by Trump who is preventing Congress from legally serving in their role and absolute right of holding the executive branch accountable. If that isn’t obstruction, what is?

Are people supposed to be arrested for Contempt of Congress or for LYING to Congress? What can actually be done? If they are, the Dems should stop threatening this stuff and actually do it. They should have arrested Lewandowski to make an example of him.

There have got to be consequences for the trump party's blatant obstruction & arrogant contempt for Congress and the Rule of Law.

Still, I am glad the guy was "dropped, rolled and punked"

I guess it's true, what Elizabeth Warren says.. "It's one inch at a time".. Obviously more patience is required, patience and faith.
