💯Barry Berke absolutely killed it. Every lawyer and law student must watch this segment of the hearing. Such amazing cross-examination of Corey Lewandowski.

The YouTube vid of Barry Berke (a lawyer) getting Corey Lewandowski to essentially admit that hes an out-and-out liar on TV is compelling viewing. Berke builds it up, piece by piece. Lewandowski looks like a cornered rat.

I looked, and he's not a prosecutor. His experience is mostly in criminal defense.

(4,402 posts)All of these witnesses can Gish gallop their way through five minutes. What they can't do is sit there for two hours and answer questions from a professional prosecutor without incriminating either themselves or Trump.

(54,436 posts)He immediately impressed me as one of the smartest people I had ever encountered, and I got less than a minute to chat. He was representing an acquaintance from the UK at the time, and my English friend told me that Barry was one of the most highly paid young lawyers in New York City. I guess he made his money and now wants to have some experience doing something interesting. Chopping up an eel like Lewindowscki seems pretty interesting!

Anymore I havent got a clue just where these hearings will actually get us, as, so far, rule of law has been trampled and defiled by Republicans to the point that nothing seems to matter.
But proving that Lewandowski is reeking scum did bring a certain satisfaction!
