Lewandowski hearing - I'm tired of this BS kabuki

[vlyons]

When o when will Dems find assholes like Lewandowski in contempt and put their sorry butts in jail? Today's hearing is a complete waste of my time. I simply cannot tolerate the GOP.

1. The republicans have learned to stonewall and refuse to answer anything

That way they can just walk home laughing with no repercussions.

[brutus smith]

2. Exactly! No one holds them accountable

Start sending them to jail if they don't cooperate.

3. I would be good with that.

7. AKA The DEMOCRATS aren't holding anyone accountable.

My only question is, what are you willing to do about it?

[brutus smith]

9. What am I willing to do about it?

I'm not a congressman. Congressmen took an oath to uphold the law. If they don't want to do it, let someone who will.

4. The last lines of questioning from Democrats have established the attempts at obstructing justice

This would be used for documenting/justifying "obstruction of justice" as an Article of Impeachment.

5. Call the Sgt of Arms and capitol police to arrest him for contempt!

6. That's just what my husband said.

In a jillion years the Democrats would never, ever do that but it would be a thing of great beauty.

8. I had to quit watching. It is on mute.

It was way beyond annoying to watch him just dodge, weave and eat up time with his non answers. After it became perfectly obvious what he was doing (with additional help from the Repubs) they should shut it down, call for the sergeant at arms to come get him and arrest his nasty ass. Make a lesson for anyone else who thinks they are there to play games.

[brutus smith]

10. Absolutely!

11. What were your expectations? That Lew would just roll over and show his stomach? Come on people ...

... this is going to get worse.

I do agree that dems should set the stage for a strong SAA arrest.

12. IANAL, but the person who made this comment on Raw Story is:

I understand where [Rick] Wilson is coming from but while the "drama" might ease his, and others, "do something fix" the House's arrest powers and ability to lock someone like Lewandowski up are too weak. They could only hold him for a day or two at best and you're back at square one because Barr's DOJ is complicit in all this.

Lewandowski just committed perjury and obstruction in public. Normally a referral to the DOJ for prosecution would be the norm but that's where Barr's complicity comes in.

As it stands the Democrats only real option is to drag these fuckers before them and let them build there own case for perjury and obstruction. Cite them for contempt and see if the courts will say enough is enough. Then the courts can lock them up with no time limits.

Democrats have to win the presidency so Barr, the DOJ, Wray, the FBI and many in the intelligence services can be cleaned out and prosecuted themselves.

13. You're not the only one.

And so nothing changes.
