five-minute show that lasts all day long. the republicans are there doing show prep for fox all day, and the democrats were all trying to get their moment in the sun. if you re after corey lewandowski to get information about the president s consistent obstruction of justice, let the lawyers do their work. right. and lead off with that. yeah. and tighten that up. don t let this be the five-minute show. what did you want to say, angela? yeah, just quickly. there s another challenge that we have here, and we re not talking about it as much as we should. that is that donald trump is aggressively confirming federal judges, which will make this battle even tougher. he s now at 150 federal judicial appointments, and our reality is that branch the separate co-equal branches of the government are hanging in the balance now at the hands of the judiciary, and that is a real challenge. we talked about that just a little while ago here, chris and i, just before this show, at the be

from the president, beautiful opening statement by corey lewandowski. thank you, corey! turning that into an opportunity during a break in the hearing to promote his potential senate run in new hampshire. an incredibly brazenly standing by his own lies. oh, i m sorry. nobody in front of congress has ever lied to the public before. i m sorry. sir, is that an admission that you did lie? absolutely not. did you lie, sir, in television interviews, denying that you had been asked to give answers to the special counsel? i don t believe so. i have no obligation to be honest with the media. nothing matters anymore. it doesn t. you heard his words, blatantly claiming that he has no obligation to be honest with the media, to tell the truth. he said it right there, i have no obligation. he has none to tell the truth. that s a pretty amazing claim for someone who is considering a
