Rep. Doug Collins ripped Democrats for calling former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.
Collins, the ranking member on the committee, used his opening minutes during Lewankdowski’s testimony to attack the Democratic Party.
“We are going to say that they are new because we like the packaging. I’ve never seen a majority so amazed with packaging in all my life! You know why? Because they can’t sell what’s inside. They can’t sell the product! So they just keep packaging it differently,” he said.
“We should call it for what it is,” Collins continued. “It’s just another simple oversight hearing. I think it’s actually become this. It has become, let’s read the Mueller report for audiobook. That’s what we’ve become. We had Mr. Mueller here. We had a long day of it. Judging by all accounts, it didn’t go real well.”
House Judiciary Democrats were looking to question Lewandowski about a specific instance Robert Mueller laid out in his report that could be considered obstruction of justice. President Trump told Lewandowski to tell then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions that he should limit the scope of Mueller’s investigation. Lewandowski appears unlikely to answer specific questions because the White House has directed him not to answer questions, despite Democratic hopes.
