Labor of Lewandowski
Tuesday, September 17, 2019 Vol. 1, 1.2. Today's little televised, 'political scene" was rather appalling to watch, as Congressional hearings go. It tells us just how far we have fallen as a Democracy, when one branch of the Federal Government openly believes it can run roughshod over a co-Equal branch of The Federal Government, to protect a lawless President. The whole affair was a bit surreal, and somewhat embarrassing for House Democrats, and emboldening to Republicans... right up until the last 30 minutes or so of the hearing, when the tables were turned. Today we had a former, high ranking Trump staffer, who, more than likely, has some very damning information about this President that America needs to hear about, yet is known for thumbing his nose at the rule of law and The Constitution, get up before cameras and "clam up" to protect his Trump. Lewandowski was breaking the law by refusing to answer questions posed to him, under oath, as required by subpoena. Here, Lewandowski is seen rudely asserting some bastardized form of Executive Privilege, which he clearly doesn't have to assert. He admits Trump has requested that he not speak on any matters which fall outside of the four corners of The Mueller Report. But he wouldn't answer questions about information and situations described in Muller's Report, much less anything else.
