Another lie debunked- Democratic secret hearings

[Moonglow]

Is the OP seriously trying to compare a phone call made and released by TRUMP to the death of 4 Americans who were left defenseless during a terrorist attack by the Obama administration who went on TV and blamed everything on a youtube video no one had heard of...

No, he is comparing the process..

H. Rept. 114-848 - FINAL REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE 2012 TERRORIST ATTACK IN BENGHAZI

The Committee’s preference for private interviews over public hearings has been questioned. Interviews are a more efficient and effective means of discovery. Interviews allow witnesses to be questioned in depth by a highly prepared member or staff person. In a hearing, every member of a committee is recognized—usually for five minutes—a procedure which precludes in-depth focused questioning. Interviews also allow the Committee to safeguard the privacy of witnesses who may fear retaliation for cooperating or whose work requires anonymity, such as intelligence community operatives.

Both witnesses and members of Congress conduct themselves differently in interviews than when in the public glare of a hearing. Neither have an incentive to play to the cameras. Witnesses have no incentive to run out the clock as long-winded evasive answers merely extend the length of the interview. Likewise, Members have no need to interrupt witnesses to try to ask all their questions in five minutes. Perhaps more importantly, political posturing, self- serving speeches, and theatrics serve no purpose in a closed interview and, as a result, the questioning in interviews tends to be far more effective at discovering information than at public hearings. For these reasons, nearly all Executive Branch investigations are conducted in private and without arbitrary time constraints. This is no less true in a Legislative Branch investigation, yet the manner in which the media portrays these investigations is starkly different.

H. Rept. 114-848 - FINAL REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE 2012 TERRORIST ATTACK IN BENGHAZI

So let's not hear the Trump cult running their mouths about democrats holding secret meetings.

I don't care about that-today's secret meetings are a slap in the face to all of us, and we can resist their coup here and now. And I don't care about Trump or Biden-this is about OUR congress and how it is run. WAKE UP! Don't be one of those obedient Democrat donkeys.

STFU. This is about a president abusing his power and who is in violation of the law.

If it is a co called coup it is a rather slow and arduous coup, can they pick up the pace? Like when rich republicans planned on overthrowing FDR. It was quick yet failed.

Don’t you wonder why obummer sealed all the records on the gun running into Mexico and claimed executive privilege? Huh?

Trump is the president now.

Why are you such a hypocrite?

Is the OP seriously trying to compare a phone call made and released by TRUMP to the death of 4 Americans who were left defenseless during a terrorist attack by the Obama administration who went on TV and blamed everything on a youtube video no one had heard of...

The OP did not compare a phone call to deaths.

The 4 Americans were not left defenseless.

The Obama administration did not go on TV.

Some officials re-iterated a preliminary CIA finding that the attack on the Benghazi compound probably emerged out of a protest (one of several throughout the region) sparked by a video.

That video no one heard of had sparked protests all over the Middle East.

All told, there is not one assertion in the quote that doesn't come right out of UpIsDownistan - also known as Dumbfúckistan.

You are comparing sparklers with hand grenades.

Inquiry into malfeasance or culpability with regard to an overseas event and then trying to equate that to an impeachment cannot be equated.

STFU. This is about a president abusing his power and who is in violation of the law.

I thought you said it was about secret meetings? And STFU is your go to? Just like Schiff in his secret meetings-he does not want anyone to say anything he doesn't like. Tell me, do you guys have decoder rings and secret passwords?

Republicans storm closed-door hearing to protest impeachment inquiry

funny seeing these back to back in here.

one side says they have closed door (secret) meetings, the other post says this never happens.

y'all need to plan your shit better.

 

[The Purge]

Why even bother showing up for work when Republicans can't cross examine, they can't call witnesses, they can't subpoena, they aren't privy to vital information, and they only hear information when it is splashed up on news tickers on cable news shows when they see the words "sources say." Republicans might as well show up when Dems say they are ready to open it up.

Schiff won't allow anything opened up because he says Republicans will share information, but someone is still leaking, and they turn out to be leaks that support the Democrats' narrative, they are Orange Man Bad, and no way to cross examine them in real time like all others before have allowed.

The Constitution says the House has power over impeachment, but that does not mean Pelosi, nor Schiff, nor even just the majority.

Some witnesses want to remain anonymous and there may be classified info they are obtaining which is why the Benghazi hearings were closed. There is no laws against having an inquiry behind closed doors..

You can try all you like, but you will never be able to justify the closed door kangaroo court that we are seeing now.

I don't have to justify the constitutional process whereby 47 republicans were sitting in on the testimonies.

Kangaroo court.
