Republicans storm closed-door hearing to protest impeachment inquiry

[joaquinmiller]

The House may have "sole impeachment power" but one party does not have the power to prevent members of the other party from attending the hearings while they leak selected testimony to morons in the media. Didn't the action of the Senate tell democrats where their impeachment hearings would end up? .

No one is preventing the Republican committee members from attending the hearings. In fact, they are allowed to grill the witnesses for as long as they wish.

^ Supports a genuine Stalinist show trial complete with anonymous "whistleblower" and democrat only "hearings"

They're depositions, not hearings, and Republican committee members and Republican legal staff are present and asking questions. Why do Republicans lie about that?

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.

Trials in secret, how Fascist of you.

CNN just reported that Trey Gowdy made it clear that non-members were not allowed in the Benghazi hearings. He said "no exceptions". Committees are for members only.

 

[HenryBHough]

So, when the vote is taken, you say Trump will testify under oath?

You think Pelosi will allow a vote?

Whatever in Hell you're smoking, I demand you SHARE - it's the Democrat Thing To Do!

 

[Unkotare]

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

Behind closed (and locked) doors is how the democrats 'passed' obamacare as well. Could have used some storming of the gates back then.

What law are they not following?

And "be fair"?

Grow the fuck up kid.

They refuse to allow democracy to be usurped in the dark by a partisan House and partisan liberal media.

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.

No it’s not.

The Five are all over it! The silly-ass leftists on this board are pretending not to understand the political game the Democrats are playing as Republicans fight fire with fire. But by all means, let the Dims destroy themselves along with the leftist media.

Regardless of one's view on impeachment, why do you think our Congress behaving like a banana republic is acceptable?

I agree, it's not acceptable. I think, Faun also thinks storming hearing rooms like a drunken mob is unacceptable.

LOL! Another naive moron who doesn't grasp the politics of it all soiling his panties. See how lefty bleats when you shove his tactics down his throat.
