Johnson: "But the greater issue is the integrity of our process..."

That's a laugh, Johnson talking about integrity?

IIRC, Contempt of Congress can only be invoked for the withholding of information in an ongoing criminal investigation.

It cannot be used to say, “we don’t like your attitude”.

Lewandowski gave the Dems hell yesterday, and they are sorely butthurt.

Both Nadler and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have expressed interest in holding Lewandowski in contempt, with Pelosi telling members on Thursday that Democrats should have acted “right then and there” at Tuesday’s Judiciary hearing when Lewandowski refused to cooperate with Democrats.


Its all a show folks, that is all the matters

They suck at it though

I’d wear a “contempt charge” as a badge of honor and then tell them to pound sand if they subpoenaed me again.

Is this “Guam tipping over” Johnson?. If so. The fool couldn’t spell “integrity”, let alone define it.

“The only purpose to do it is to have teeth in it and to send a message to both Mr. Lewandowski that he has to come forth, tell the truth and live up to his obligations under the subpoena,” she added. “His performance was an absurdity.”

Until someone comes and lies in their favor lock stock and barrel they are all going to be in contempt. Contempt means “you didn’t say what we want you to say”.

Otherwise everyone but the 15% who strongly approve of the way Congress is doing its job would be guilty of holding them in contempt---as we actually do.

The approval rating of Congress is 17%.

I’d say that most of America is in contempt of these lowlifes.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), a senior committee member, said Lewandowski should be used for ballast to prevent Guam from tipping,

Corey answered every question they through at him except for conversations he had with the President which are protected by executive privilege.

If they want the conversations he had with POTUS, they will need to ask POTUS about them.

“He operated in contempt of Congress..”

How can you be held in contempt of a contemptible group?
