During yesterday’s quite comedic hearing with Corey Lewandowski testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee, Chairman Jerry Nadler grew so frustrated that he threatened to hold the former Trump campaign staffer in contempt over his stonewalling:

Here’s the exchange where Lewandowski cited executive privilege and refused to answer the question that set everyone off:

But that threat was not good enough for celebrity activist Alyssa Milano. She wants action, NOW:
WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?! Hold someone accountable! For something! Anything! https://t.co/7QmQKRgOTR

Maybe the Russians are controlling House Dems, too?
I'm seriously starting to think @SpeakerPelosi and @RepJerryNadler are in on this hijacking of our country. They make weak arguments to soothe the masses and do NOTHING.

Well, at least they see what wee see:
Captain this is as poor a performance as I've ever seen. Most of these people are lawyers for Christ's sake, and they can't even grill one stooge? We're going to get skewered if they don't get their shit together

Lock him up?
Please please please charge him with contempt and throw him in jail . STOP BEING SO WEAK?

Guys, Google what happened when the House, then controlled by the GOP, held Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It’s the president’s AG that gets to decide what to do next.
FWIW, the Trump administration is arguing that Lewandowski is covered by executive privilege which means Dems will have to get a judge to rule on it:
Well, this is going to be a huge waste of time.
Not only is Lewandowski a hostile witness, but Trump just sent a letter to Congress claiming executive privilege over his testimony today, even though he never worked at the WH. #tuesdaymorning #tuesdaymotivation pic.twitter.com/vm5H0VelD8
