Pelosi says Corey Lewandowski deserves to be held in contempt

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that Corey Lewandowski deserved to be held in contempt of Congress for his combative performance before the House Judiciary Committee, where the former Trump campaign manager repeatedly refused to answer questions about his testimony to special counsel Robert Mueller.

Pelosi told Democrats during a private meeting on Wednesday that Democrats should have held Lewandowski in contempt “then and there,” according to multiple sources in the room.

Pelosi’s comments come a day after Lewandowski’s marathon testimony, which left Democrats angry and frustrated. Lewandowski refused to answer many of Democrats’ questions about his testimony to Mueller and often seemed to be performing for an audience of one — President Donald Trump — as he prepares for a potential Senate run.

At one point during the hearing, Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) became so angry that he started yelling for Lewandowski to be held in contempt. The Judiciary chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), didn’t take that action but left open the possibility at the end of the hearing.

Some attendees of the Wednesday-night meeting interpreted Pelosi‘s remarks as an indirect criticism of Nadler, but a spokesperson for the California Democrat stressed that this was not the case.

I think Lewandowski should get the Medal of Freedom for his performance. The traitorous DIMRATS got but a taste of what they deserve. They must be loudly, relentlessly called out for the ____[maximum superlative]____ evil they represent & perpetrate. Give them no rest. Give them no quarter. Rob them of their treasonous narrative & humiliatingly trash it in prime time.

Show them up brazenly to be the slobbering, drooling, 'fudge'-on-their-faces, poo in their shorts, crazed-eyed, facial tick afflicted, bobble-headed, incoherent evil slugs they are. Make them embarrassed to show their faces on the street. Make them literally run from anyone with a microphone.

Being in contempt did not bother Eric Holder if I recall. Nancy is contemptible.

:::::Pelosi says Corey Lewandowski deserves to be held in contempt:::::

So what? Will Lewandowski enjoy the same non-penalty as when Holder was found in contempt of Congress? Or, will the Dual-Just-Us system kick in and remove civil liberties from Lewandowski?
