Did today. this was the low point in the history of house hearings procedurally the republicans made repeated motions to shut down the hearing, to just adjourn the hearing, close it down and when those motions were defeated instantly by a voice vote, the republicans then called for, as is their right, roll call votes that they knew would take time and they knew they were going to lose, and they were just trying to waste time and add to the circus atmosphere that they created corey lewandowski was ready for a circus he was not ready for serious questioning. when republicans took their five-minute turns at questioning the witness, they ignored corey lewandowski s role in the president s attempt to shut down the mueller investigation, as described by corwin lewandowski s own testimony in the mueller report and his own notes that are reproduced in the mueller report the republican questioning deliberately did not make any sense.
For so long to just get a witness finally having one today and still not being able to move the ball forward it seems like we ve seen this before, and we will likely see it again another, you know, other people that they re going to bring up there will take a similar posture to that and it doesn t seem like they can get them to answer all the questions that they want. nancy cook it was truly remarkable to watch for most of the day, they couldn t lay a glove on this witness and by 4:00 p.m. my colleague nicolle wallace put the word hapless in front of the democrats give us the full on, true regard or opinion for corey lewandowski within the trump camp? well, i think that the trump camp, you know, the president has always really liked him, and that s a very key thing. but i think that there is a fair amount of suspicion about him within the trump orbit the trump kids have always been sort of suspicious of him. there are some members of the campaign who would like to keep him at a dis
Wear sensible shoes, by the book democrats, nstitutionalists, u against this guy who works for, or worked for a president who now has a pliant attorney general across town and this just might be the way the world works for a while. at the end there when they brought in the professional counselor they scored points, put lewandowski on the offensive, he acknowledged he lied to the media, which is not a crime, i wish it were. but prior to that they didn t really touch him nicole was right, they were hapless. another moment where democrats weren t able to score points and lewandowski was performing as nancy said for the president and auditioning potentially for a senate campaign. he launched a website during the intermission of this hearing today goes to show you how seriously he was taking this if he follows through and runs, it was him trying to prove to the president he remains loyal he was ousted at a key moment in
Corey lewandowski for what was the worst public half hour of corey lewandowski s life my question to you, sir, is on national television, did you lie about your relationship with the special counsel and whether they sought your interview i don t know. prior to the mueller report being published in redacted form, did you ever misrepresent what you did on behalf of the president? i can t think of an instance where that would have occurred let me show you an interview that you did on may 14, 2019 excuse me. i m going to show it to you from february 22nd, 2019. let me show it to you. excuse me, excuse me, may 14 may 14, 2019. thank you. i don t remember the president ever asking me to get involved with jeff sessions or the department of justice in any way, shape or form ever. okay, so did youinon msnbu
I had the privilege, and it was a privilege, of helping transform the trump campaign from a dedicated but small makeshift organization to a historical and unprecedented political juggernaut and i am proud to say mr. trump won 38 primaries and caucuses and received more votes than any candidate in the history of the republican party. corey lewandowski, the former trump campaign manager who is now considering a senate run in new hampshire, testified before the house judiciary committee today. as you saw there it is likely his north korean anchor woman quality opening remarks were meant were one viewer who quickly returned the favor writing such a beautiful opening statement by corey lewandowski, thank you, corey
