If you are not an experienced prosecutor, stop your grand standing and get out of the way.

Or else we lose.

to higher office down the road. Of course, GOPers are doing it too without any redeeming aspects.

Let professionals do it.

The point of the inherent contempt authority and having the Sergeant-at-Arms arrest someone is to GO GET THEM AND BRING THEM APPEAR. Lewandowski, as far as I could see, already in the room, so that whole "Go arrest that man!" thing would have been entertaining to watch, but ultimately pretty ridiculous.

Maybe they could have arrested him and dragged him the 10 feet from the witness table to the said ...

and has been against Democrats impeaching Trump from the start. Probably because after Trump is gone he will be able to say how bad he though Clinton was especially sense Trump wasn't impeached.

Wasn't he among those demanding Democrats start impeachment hearings yesterday?

This is one of the reasons I have difficulty taking these people seriously. I knew that many of the people who were demanding impeachment hearings would immediaty change their tunes the minute the hearing sstarted and pivot to attacking the Democrats for not doing the hearings "right."

Robert Mueller wasn't like DeNiro was in some film where he plays tough guy.

the republicans behave like asses which Pelosi knew they would and the media asks what democrats are going to do instead of demadning why republicans don't ask or want to know certain things.
