Lewandowski may lead White House impeachment team
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/whistleblower-complaint-impeachment-inquiry/h_76b28e704f4d11432d6ee391ea21968c
Corey Lewandowski, the political operative who helped elect President Trump, has had conversations with White House officials in recent days about potentially taking a position inside the administration to help Trump confront a looming impeachment fight.
The discussions, including a Thursday afternoon meeting at the White House, reflect the growing recognition among Trumps allies and advisers that he is without a clear strategy for managing the crisis, which exploded in stunning fashion this week.
Trump's 2016 campaign manager would be in a crisis management type role, and the idea as it currently stands would be for Lewandowski to assemble a team that mirrors the one that existed in Bill Clintons White House when he was facing his own impeachment.
The list of potential players on the team includes David Bossie, his former deputy campaign manager who angered the President earlier this year by soliciting funds using Trumps name. Bossie served as the chief investigator of the House Oversight Committee in 1997, helping scrutinize Clinton.

I'm confused.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)23. Defense against impeachment proceedings.
Trump likely thinks he has a person who will try to hid documents from Congressional investigators and stonewall. Lewandowski is a hothead and an idiot, he will likely step into more traps than Rudy does.
