Can't wait to see this on youtube!
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s, D-Texas, and Mr. Lewandowski got into a back-and-forth over who would read excerpts from the Mueller report. Democrats repeatedly showed sections on large screens in the hearing room.
“You’re welcome to read it, Congresswoman,†he said. “Don’t ask me a question I won’t answer.â€
The sparring continued.
“This is the House Judiciary, not a house party,†Rep. Jackson Lee told Mr. Lewandowski in one response.
It Was Just A Rant
At the end of her five-minute time allotment, Rep. Jackson Lee accused Mr. Lewandowski of doing the president’s “dirty work in secret because he knew it was wrong.â€
Chairman Nadler told Mr. Lewandowski he could answer the congresswoman’s question even though her time had elapsed before she had asked one.
“I don’t believe there was a question,†Mr. Lewandowski responded. “It was just a rant.â€
Chairman Nadler shut down Rep. Jackson Lee, who tried to re-engage with the witness, clearly aware of the bad optics.
