@mott-the-hoople said...or a slimy henchman bent on obstruction.
I watched today...he was awesome...he handled nadler like a boss 😂
He admitted he was a shameless liar:
Toward the end, under intense questioning from Barry Berkey, an attorney for the Democrats, and after being shown a video of an interview from February in which he said he didn’t remember Trump asking him to get involved with the former attorney general Jeff Sessions or the Department of Justice, Lewandowski admitted “perhaps I was inaccurate that time”.
But he also said: “I have no obligation to be honest with the media because they are just as dishonest as everybody else.”

There's a right wing idol right there; someone who thinks he can lie because, in his mind, everyone else does. The same type of ethics spouted by the Trump sycophants here who see nothing wrong with the US government funneling money to Trump's private businesses.
And I'm not sure what the Trump drones are so happy about; Lewandowski, while trying to avoid as many questions as possible under a ridiculous claim of "Executive Privilege" (he never worked in the Executive Department), basically verified one of the most damning incidents of obstruction of justice in the Mueller Report i.e. that Trump told him to pressure AG Sessions to fire Mueller and end the investigation:
Over the course of several hours, Lewandowski slowly — and perhaps unwittingly — added movie-like color, and a few new morsels, to Mueller's dry narrative of Trump's decision to lean on a trusted confidant to carry out a special mission that all the president's men and women had refused to execute for fear of breaking the law.
The cloak-and-dagger details included Lewandowski taking down careful notes in the Oval Office, sticking them in a safe at home, and trying once to schedule a meeting with Sessions outside the Justice Department — and its visitor logs — only to be frustrated by Sessions canceling.
Trump asked Lewandowski to do that after then-White House counsel Don McGahn declined to fire Mueller at Trump's direction, according to Mueller's report.

And how is this for credible testimony:
If Sessions wouldn't meet with him, Trump said, Lewandowski should tell Sessions he would be fired.
"I took that as a joke," Lewandowski testified.
@earl-of-trumps saidIt's not surprising you admire another admitted liar besides your user namesake.
I congratulate any man who tells the witch hunting democrats to stick it. Well done, Corey.
@no1marauder saidHe's not my namesake, I've had this nick for 9 years. And I never watched "The Apprentice", never was a Trump/Hollywood fan. Don't watch much TV at all.

@Earl-of-Trumps
Lewandoski made an utter ass of himself and so did the repubs trying to turn it into a circus with THEIR obstructions of questioning.
Berkey got to him and forced him to say he was lying, and will lead to contempt of congress. Of course any legal proceedings will be squashed by Trump's personal lawyer, Barr but Lewandoski was an utter ass in his obstructions and not commenting on what he said in the Mueller report.
He was not a good witness for the protection of President Chump.
He was a clear obstructionist and is relying on Barr never prosecuting him.
But the two others called to testify never showed up so they are CLEARLY in contempt of congress.
Way to go assswipe repubs. ALL of you. Chump sycophants.
@earl-of-trumps saidShould I believe someone who, in this very thread, has expressed admiration for a man who admits he lies to the media and by extension the American People?

@no1marauder saidI thank any man that can piss off democrats. Trump is doing a wonderful job. All I know is, ABC - anyone but Clinton. And BTW, Trump has done a great job on the economy. Foreign policy is a mixed bag, but overall, he is ABC

Oh, and BTW, I could care less what you believe.
@Earl-of-Trumps
Clearly assswipes like you care ZERO for the state of the country.
Lewandowski is using the hearing to publish his resume to be heard by one person, OH MR TRUMP, PLEASE MAKE ME A SENATOR.
That is who he was speaking to, an audience of ONE. Chump himself.
@sonhouse saidI looked up ‘chump’ No one who has Accomplished all that Trump has could be referred to as a chump. I don’t get your meaning.
