Top Intel Dem: Lewandowski refused to answer key questions about Trump Tower, Comey firing

Source: The Hill

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says Corey Lewandowski selectively declined to answer lawmakers' questions during his second interview before the panel about key events and conversations.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Thursday called on the majority to issue a subpoena on the former Trump campaign manager, stating it is unacceptable for a witness to refuse to answer particular questions that are relevant to their Russia probe while also warning that it continues to set a "broader precedent" it could set for congressional investigations.

“Witnesses do not get to pick and choose when it comes to very relevant testimony to our investigation,” Schiff told reporters after the meeting ended.

He said Lewandowski refused to answer a series of questions about key events including Donald Trump Jr.'s initial misleading statement after news broke about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer, questions about the firing of former FBI director James Comey, as well as he may have had with the president about the potential of firing special counsel Robert Bob Mueller.

Power over Party over Country is the Republicon motto.

They are implicitly defending tRump.

Republiconmen on the Committee say the investigation is over. Nothing to see. Move along now.

That is because they are getting some of their money from the same source.

contempt of Congress? Why is he and any other, for that matter, who refuse to answer questions, not charged with contempt and jailed until they answer? This is our national security and sovereignty at stake. Why are we going so lightly on them?
