I love the part at the very end when Cummings asks Assi "what are you hiding" and someone answers "he's taking the 5th."Rep. Issa decides House Oversight Committee meeting is not going the way he wants it to go. He adjourns the meeting and walks out, while Rep. Cummings is speaking.

good grief...on and on and on and on....do you post just to see yourself post?
Waxman attacked and derided no one. The lying witness was evading the question when the questioner's time ran out and Waxman was trying to get a clarification when Assi rudely interrupted to help the witness protect the corrupt president Bush. Assi's point of order was answered and Assi continued to interrupt, Waxman politely answered him each time until he finally said Assi will be removed if he continues. Waxman finally got his clarification as to whether the lying witness and the corrupt president Bush were claiming Executive Privilege.How quickly the Right changes the rules for themselves!Waxman broke House Rules by threatening Issa in the first place.
YOU posted this earlier in this thread:
Clause 2(k) of House Rule XI on Hearing Procedures:
4)The chair may punish breaches of order and decorum, and of professional ethics on the part of counsel, by censure and exclusion from the hearings; and the committee may cite the offender to the House for contempt.
Aaaand? Waxman broke house rules by attacking and deriding a witness while giving his deposition. Issa then called for a "point of order" as a result, which required him to interrupt Waxman. By Robert's Rules of order, Waxman was required to address this point of order before moving forward. He didn't. Waxman himself was out of order when he threatened to have Issa removed from the hearing room if he didn't cease his protests.
Simple.
This is one of the lamest clashes I have ever seen, I was only able to watch 4 seconds of it, here is what a clash looks like:Rep. Issa decides House Oversight Committee meeting is not going the way he wants it to go. He adjourns the meeting and walks out, while Rep. Cummings is speaking.

In statements after the hearing, Rep. Cummings says he believes the Democrats are being shut out of the investigation by Republicans, claiming they are “cherry picking information, sending just a few lines from various transcripts.” In other words, he is accusing Republicans of distorting the facts in such a way as to make Ms. Lerner appear guilty.
Chairman Issa told journalists, “Mr. Cummings did not raise a point of privilege or a point or order.” Issa acknowledged Cummings by allowing him to ask a question, but Issa stated, “ He went into an opening statement. Opening statements had already been completed.”
And Waxman controlled the committee...and this is just different, isn't it? Yeah...sour grapes. Make WHINE.Waxman broke House Rules by threatening Issa in the first place.
Waxman threatened to have Issa thrown out. How the Sergeant at Arms handled that would have been completely out of Waxman's control.
Republicans are starting to lose it
"starting to"?
They lost it in January 2009 when this great nation inaugurated its first African American President. They REALLY lost it when 44 became a two-termerlast year.
