The worthless commission soldiers on

Lewandowski unsurprisingly followed suit on Bannon's clam-up.
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski refused to answer some lawmaker questions during an appearance before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, frustrating Democrats and ending a rare moment of bipartisan comity on the panel.

Lewandowski told lawmakers that he was not prepared to answer questions that related to anything after he left the Trump campaign in June 2016, according to multiple sources, but said he was willing to return at a later date.

  The Hill
Return and what? Refuse to answer the same questions?
But while Schiff has urged a subpoena for Lewandowski, King said such a move would be “irresponsible.”

“Bannon said he wouldn’t answer questions, that is the whole point,” King said. “Lewandowski said, ‘I’ll answer every question you have.’ The lawyer did not think that was the scope today, but he’s coming back.”
Close this joke down. All of their witnesses are dictating the scope of the worthless investigation.

Oh, wait. Apparently one witness actually testified.
Lewandowski’s stance was in sharp contrast with another witness interviewed by the committee on Wednesday, White House deputy chief of staff [for legislative affairs] Rich Dearborn.

“He answered every question, no hesitation,” said Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah), who chaired that interview.
Score one for the investigators!

Who's Dearborn?
Dearborn’s duties have included oversight of the White House’s political operation, public outreach and legislative affairs. Before that, he helped set up the campaign’s Washington office and was executive director of the presidential transition team after the election. He announced last month that he’ll be leaving the White House early this year.
His family needs him?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
