I'm sure Jerry Nadler knew what he was getting into when smarmy a**hole Corey Lewandowski agreed to appear before the House Judiciary committee. Lewandowski, a former campaign chair for Cheetolini and aspiring politician himself was looking for a platform to launch his bid for the Senate seat in New Hampshire next year and was counting on this hearing to give him some impetus.
I think both Nadler and Lewandowski got something and lost something in the exchange. The democrats on the committee were treated to maximum obstruction from both the witness and their fellow legislators on the republican side. Nadler faced numerous resolutions to end the hearing and Lewandowski was combative to the point of contempt for those asking about his errand to Jeff Sessions from tRump which was supposed to curtail the Russia investigation begun by Mueller.
However, the hearing took a turn in a positive direction when the Committee's staff lawyer calmly pinned Lewandowski and forced him to admit his testimony to Mueller in which he admitted the president* had conspired to obstruct justice. I doubt Lewandowski will appear again before Nadler unless subpoenaed and forced by court order to do so.
Both sides will declare victory in the aftermath, but the final reckoning will not come before November 2020. In the meantime, the obstruction will continue.
