It’s a somewhat dejected NICOLE SANDLER<\/a>, once again guest-hosting the BradCast<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m dejected because of what I saw in today’s House Judiciary Hearing on Trump’s Obstruction of Justice. Corey Lewandowski, the only one of the three witnesses subpoenaed to show up, might as well have stayed home for how forthcoming he was during the hearing. (Read: not at all). When Congressman Cicilline of Rhode Island suggested holding Lewandowski in contempt for his refusal to answer questions, Chairman Jerry Nadler said he’d “take it under advisement”. Seriously?
