[IM2]

House Republicans stormed a closed-door hearing Wednesday morning to protest Democrats' impeachment inquiry process, breaking up the deposition of a top Defense Department official who was testifying about President Trump's dealings with Ukraine.

Republicans storm closed-door hearing to protest impeachment inquiry

Awww, poor, unruly Republicans. Crying like babies because they don't have access to those hearings -- even though there are Republicans who serve on the investigating committees; and whining that this isn't an official impeachment inquiry because there was no House vote -- even though there's never been a House rule mandating a full House vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry.

Why hide?

Mic drop

Who's hiding? There are Democrats and Republicans participating in these hearings. Next time, try not to drop the mic on your foot.

If republicans have to "storm" the proceedings, then it's presumed that they're not participating.

I'm sure your local community college has an ESL course that you can take.

Actually the republicans storming the inquiry are not members of the committees of jurisdiction pertaining to this matter.

Aww silly republicans expecting the democrats to follow the law and be fair. How stupid of them huh

The republicans on the appropriate committees are attending these inquiries as the constitution requires.

Without counter witnesses which isn't.

What makes you think Republicans have the right to call witnesses in a committee investigation?

You assfucks are just making up shit. Either get informed or quit lying.

This is an inquiry, not a trial. And if there are counters Trump is not allowing them to speak.

Democrats are not only colluding with Russia, they're behaving like them now. The Kremlin is known for it's one sided investigations.

Democrats have done more to try to overthrow our duly elected gov't than Putin could ever hope to.

Believe me dems, you're making Putin very proud.

I guess you have zero knowledge about how Grand Juries operate.

Yea I do you might want to tell your democratic colleagues on the hill how they operate. They're not supposed to leak information from these closed door hearings. If they're closed door, then they are 100% closed door. You don't get to say what you can and can't leak out.

Republicans who have been in on the meetings have already said that tons of information that is exculpatory to the president has been stated but since it's classified they can't talk about it. But liberals illegally leak stuff out of the hearings that makes the president look bad. They violate the law but since when do they give a fuck about the law?

Bullshit.

Aww silly republicans expecting the democrats to follow the law and be fair. How stupid of them huh

What law are Dem's breaking? Does it have a number so we can look it up?

Sixth amendment to the constitution. Look it up. If you say this doesn't violate the 6th then you admit that it's a sham investigation that holds no legal clout whatsoever. Take your pick.

What happened to transparency that liberals touted so hard before?

According to this yutz Trump is already on trial.

Not without that floor vote.
Then Trump would cooperate.
We all are telling Pelosi to do a floor vote for formal impeachment inquiry.
Why do you think Pelosi won't allow a vote on a formal inquiry?

How are we even talking about this?

Because the democrats refuse to serve the American public.

The Democrats are doing their Constitutional duty.

Over 2000 blacks have been shot in democrat run Chicago alone.. you have a duty to end that. Lol your a joke

Fact not BS
Closed door means no leaks.

Because this is an investigation. Like Mueller held investigations in secret. Witnesses cannot co-ordinate testimony.

Has the DOJ followed up the criminal referrals about this Ukraine scandal, the House would not have to do it themselves.

Before the previous impeachments, a Special Prosecutor was named (Cox, Starr, Mueller) held grand jury investigations and produced a report submitted to congress. The William Barr DOJ denied any investigation, a cover up.

Articles of Impeachment will be drafted in public hearings. This is the procedure laid out in the constitution.

Arguing process shows a lack of defense of the allegations. Why aren't Trumpians shouting about the allegations?

Then why not just do it? Quit hiding like a child behind closed doors.

Sunlight is the greatest cleansing agent available.

So witnesses cannot co-ordinate testimony. When are grand jury inquiries public? Why are Special Prosecutor's investigated in public?

As no special prosecutor was named to investigate the Ukraine scandal, the House has to do it themselves.

We’re not talking about an FBI agent here we are talking about the person voted on by most Americans to be our leader... stop hiding

Most?

The republicans didn't have a problem with the impeachment procedures when they went after Clinton for lying.

What?? Don't I see Democrats, or at least Left-wingers, constantly protesting? Constantly demanding to be heard? Do not you people on the left, always say "Freedom of Speech!" and "Power to the people!" and so on?

Are not you people the ones that say every time there is a protest, that we should listen to what protesters have to say?

What is different now? Do only the left-wingers, and people you agree with, have the right to protest and make their voices heard?

Republicans are participating in the hearings. You should learn what's going on before you post

Are you suggesting that Democrats have never protested anything that Democrats have been involved in?

They are protesting the inquiry. Doesn't matter who is, or is not involved. The public is making their voices heard. Are you in favor of the common people making their voices heard by government? Or not? Or only when it's something you support, and otherwise free speech doesn't matter to you?

 

[HenryBHough]

Since it's a private party why is The Democrat Party not paying to rent the space?

 

[Andylusion]

The republicans didn't have a problem with the impeachment procedures when they went after Clinton for lying.

So you admit that Clinton lied under oath, and that this is a felony? Is a felony an impeachable offense or not? If not, then what crime, worse than a felony are you complaining about?

 

[HenryBHough]

Mistake #1: The Republicans went unarmed.

I have no problem admitting it. He committed perjury and was guilty of obstruction of justice.

Are you saying the Republicans never held closed door hearings?

It is easier to get people to testify in a closed door hearing than an open session.

Maybe you can get your orange buddy to testify along with with all his cohorts.

Impeaching a president!? Lol what

So members of Congress are not allowed to know what is going on in Congress?

Weird!

We aren't talking about Nazi Germany are we, when The Nazi's took over The Weimar Democratic Republic of Germany, are we?

That's how committees function.

Not how Impeachment Functions. Sorry about your luck Goebbels.

You just aren't allowed to call it an Impeachment Inquiry.

You can call it an Inquisition if you like.
