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.

LOLOL

Uh, no ... the presumption is ... you're an idiot. There are Republicans on every one of those committees and they get to question people testifying.

The Repubs were staging a reality politics show for the rubes. Counter-programming on the day after the shit hit the fan.

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

What makes you think I find unruly Republicans interfering with a duly authorized impeachment inquiry is acceptable?

They are taking non-public depositions in committee because AG Barr refused to do the investigation phase. There are Republicans on all those committees. The House is performing the grand jury function - and the Senate will hold the trial. Why do you keep asking the same stupid shit over and over?

They are there - on the committees! Non-members can't participate - just like in the Benghazi hearings. The public phase will be coming soon - and all transcripts will be released. Everything will be public in the Senate trial.

If you were arrested for a serious crime - do you think you should be allowed to participate in the investigation of your own crime?

House = Grand Jury. Senate = Trial.

Because it's an investigation and Congress doesn't want witnesses, who have yet to testify, to hear testimony from previous witnesses.

Exactly how retarded are you to not understand that?

Trump’s team is finding out that mounting a defense is not easy when the president has already admitted to doing what he’s accused of.

WASHINGTON ― As it struggles for a “message” against impeachment, Donald Trump’s White House seems to be learning a lesson known to criminal defense lawyers for centuries: Things are a lot harder when the accused has already confessed and the prosecutors have loads of other evidence.

Trump’s staff has called the House’s impeachment inquiry “a star chamber,” “rigged,” “a sham” and “politically-motivated, closed door, secretive hearings.”

Trump himself has complained about “zero due process,” “the Democrats Scam,” and “a lynching.”

TRUMP TEAM PULLS OUT EVERY DEFENSE — NOT INNOCENCE!

So now chaos is all they have.

Why can’t we hear it? How does it change anything?

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.

Idiot, that is not how committees function, They never have and should not now.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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.

Congress is NOT a Grand Jury.

Why is it closed door? If they're so confident about nailing Trump, why hide it?

Again, they're not hiding anything. Republicans are involved in the hearings.

Yet those Republican members are threatened for trying to get information of of those hearings, while Democrats are allowed to leak like a sieve!
