Cory should have his lawyers draw up a Congressional version of a butthurt form and send it to the committee.
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.
Yep...The Rats are whistling past the graveyard, they’re just making noise.
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.

I don’t know how this would play out but is it possible that a “witness” could appear, under subpoena, take the oath, give his opening statement and then announce that he has complied with the subpoena and is now leaving the hearing?
Until there is a vote to hold in contempt could the Sergeant at Arms be ordered to detain him, and if so, could he then demand that he be provided with an arrest warrant?
If he is detained, is he then “under arrest? If so, does he now have the right to invoke his Miranda Rights?
Under the above scenario, this could get very interesting and could force the courts to define the boundaries of obligations under Congressional subpoenas.
Comments from attorneys would be appreciated.
Johnson has no “integrity” and if memory serves me correctly, no knowledge of geography, i.e. asking whether Guam will tip over if we station 12,000 more troops there.
Lewandowski should have answered the question about where did he go during a certain period of time (he answered that he took his family on a vacation).
I would have answered, “I planned to take us to Guam but I was worried that 4 more people on that island would tip it over so we went to our beach”.
Johnson, another name for a schmuck.
