Corey Lewandowski on his almost 'Fistfight,' with Gen. Kelly and why we all need to fight the swamp
On Thursday's episode of "The Sara Carter Show," Senior Advisor Trump/Pence 2020 and Campaign Manager for Trump's 2016 campaign Corey Lewandowski revealed a "fistfight" that almost happened outside the oval office with former White House Chief of Staff General John Kelly. Lewandowski said that Kelly blocked him from meeting with the President and that those insider stories are part of his new book co-written with his close confidante and former Deputy Campaign Manager for Trump's 2016 campaign David Bossie.

"I think I try and fight for the president every day," Lewandowski told Sara. "And sometimes I fight on TV. Sometimes I fight in front of Congress in front of Jerry Nadler. And sometimes they get into a fistfight just outside the oval office with a retired four star marine. So like I fight all the time. And the reason I do it is they're not doing what the President asked them to do. I go and I fight for him because he fights for us every single day."
He continued, "So look, Trump America First is his fight for our country and me on television, or me outside the Oval Office getting into a fistfight with John Kelly. I say, 'Hey, john, we can do this one of two ways. We can go and sit down and solve this, like two men in a room or I can take off my jacket, I can kick the dog crap out of you outside. I don't care which one it is, I'll let you decide.'
He said then "John decided he wanted to go in the room and sit down and have a conversation, which I thought was a good decision for him."
Bossie added that he and Lewandowski are "just two hard-working guys that try to support this president every single day." They said they understand the pulse of America and the concerns of real America and believe that the President has and will continue to champion the people of this country.
"It's what we do. It's what we've been doing for five years. We're not going to stop for the next 34 days," he added. "We're gonna keep working hard. This President's gonna win on election day because he is the hardest working man that either of us know and he is going to win because the issues are on his side."
"Sara, this is a niche. This is a big what Ronald Reagan used to call bold. Colors, not pale pastels election, this is about higher taxes or lower taxes about more job-killing regulations or fewer," said Bossie. "This is about open borders or border security. This is about anarchy in the streets and defunding the police, or about law and order. It's about ending the endless wars. So that's what Trump is about. That's what President Trump's about. And that's why he's gonna win because the American people are on his side of these issues."

The former FBI official involved in the investigation into the made up Trump-Russia collusion has been charged with…wait for it…Russia collusion. Former FBI official Charles McGonigal was charged with "violating sanctions and collaborating with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska."
The Department of Justice made the announcement Monday. "Charles McGonigal, a former high-level FBI official, and Sergey Shestakov, a Court interpreter, violated U.S. sanctions by agreeing to provide services to Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch" U.S. Attorney Damian Williams wrote in the released statement.
"Russian oligarchs like Oleg Deripaska perform global malign influence on behalf of the Kremlin and are associated with acts of bribery, extortion, and violence," FBI Assistant Director in Charge Michael Driscoll noted in a statement. "There are no exceptions for anyone, including a former FBI official like Mr. McGonigal."
According to federal prosecutors, McGonigal received "concealed payments" from a Russian intelligence officer in exchange for his help in having sanctions targeting Deripaska lifted. "McGonigal is being charged by the Federal District in Manhattan with additional counts relating to money laundering and conspiracy" reports National Review.
Both McGonigal and Shestakov had "previously worked with Deripaska to attempt to have his sanctions removed, and, as public servants, they should have known better," Williams' statement added.
McGonigal's legal team announced their plans to enter a plea of not guilty before a federal court appearance. Seth DuCharme, head of McGonigal's legal team old the New York Times "Charlie served the United States capably, effectively, for decades."
"We have closely reviewed the accusations made by the government and we look forward to receiving discovery so we can get a view on what the evidence is upon which the government intends to rely" DuCharme added.
McGonigal was arrested at JFK Airport in New York City on Saturday upon returning from recent travels to Sri Lanka.
