Have Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee figured out what President Trump did to them? By the looks of their questioning of Corey Lewandowski on Tuesday, the answer is no.
Democrats chose the former Trump campaign manager for their first hearing after declaring the committee is considering impeaching the president. They apparently thought Lewandowski would elaborate on his extensive testimony to special counsel Robert Mueller and also on his testimony from earlier investigations by other House and Senate committees.
Instead, Lewandowski jerked Democrats around — and around and around. He delayed. He asked for specific citations when anyone referred to the Mueller report. He repeated, over and over, his instructions

York explains in detail just how President Trump flummoxed Nadler and his Committee: By cooperating with the Mueller investigation. A very interesting and worthwhile read.

Cong Jerry Nadler is no Sam Ervin. That's for sure.

Yesterday's hearing was a sham in the never ending Democrat quest to abuse their power and harass a President duly elected by the American people.
The Mueller Report failed to hand down ANY indictments which would have initiated a legal process wherein defendants have the following constitutional rights:
1. The right to confront witnesses
2. The right to adherence to established rules of evidence
3. The responsibility of the accuser to prove the defendant(s) guilty. Until then, all defendants are presumed INNOCENT.
Nadler and his committee is on a fishing expedition devoid of the above constitutional rights and thereby abusing the power and authority vested in the committee. Assertions are stated by Democrat committee members as though they had the weight of evidence where in reality the are opinions and wishful thinking. No opportunity is provided to challenge the unfounded assertions according to established rules of evidence.
Nadler should be impeached for gross incompetence and abuse of power.

Ever since the '70s, the Dems have considered Watergate a template for ousting a president. But look what's happened, someone else analyzed those moves too.

To paraphrase General Patton -
Trump: 'Democrats, you dirty b----ards, I read your book!'

Don't live in New Hampshire, but wish I could vote for Mr. Cory Lewandowski. The way he handled these nasty democrats in that hearing was masterful. His comment about the dems hating POTUS Trump more than they love America was perfect. He didn't say that the dems didn't love America but they were to stupid to catch that, he was saying the truth, about how much they hate President Trump.
Think about it, what has this president done other than beat Hillary, the dems chosen one, that isn't good for America. In fact beating Hillary may be the best thing he's done for the country. Unemployment, especially of the minorities, is way down, business is up, the markets are up, we have no new wars, and we're at least talking with our adversaries. America is energy independent and even an energy EXPORTER. Bad trade deals like, NAFTA, are ended or ending.
Help us out here New Hampshire, we sure could use another great Senator, Cory Lewandowski.

These hearings aren't serious because the whole idea of impeachment is preposterous, but that's not the purpose anyways. The purpose is to harass past allies and associates of PDT, to abuse legitimate congressional authority to investigate and use its subpoena power to jerk the President around at his expense, to de-legitimize his election and authority. This is intended to create enough smoke that some Uniparty-Republican can hollar "FIRE" and try to derail PDT's re-election campaign as early and quikly as possible.

The dems have NO power in these hearings and everybody in Washington KNOWS it. They are putting on a show for their Leftist base. Unless they get the House to vote to formally open impeachment hearings, they have NO authority. To vote for impeachment would be a disaster for the dems because, after the Mueller debacle, the voters have no stomach for it. Pelousy knows that. She also knows that the dems have to appease their base even if it is futile. So she lets Nadless keep playing at being a "real" Congressman.
Let's look at what happened to Eric Holder who was found in contempt of Congress. Absolutely NOTHING. Why? Because no CRIME was committed, or at least not enough facts were present to make a case. It was a political squabble between two branches of government and all the branches are coequal. In that case, it all ends in a fizzle. At least the Republicans had the sense to walk away after the contempt vote. There wasn't much more they could do.
This is where the dems are, at the end of their power. But they are too arrogant to let it go and they are being made to look foolish. Nadless is whining, "You HAVE to talk to us." and Corey blew raspberries at him. And there really isn't anything the dems can do but look dopey.

The Trumpster just can't wait to get up every morning and get going.
It's almost an unfair game; but well deserved payback.
