While the Trump White House has stonewalled approving government employee’s from appearing before Congress….
Some have shown up and testified anyways….
The 3 House committees investigating President Trump and Ukraine have sent at least 8 letters — obtained by Axios — to key Trump administration officials over the past few days to demand that they appear as part of the rapidly expanding impeachment inquiry.
The state of play: If everyone complies with the requests from the Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight committees, Democrats will have interviewed 11 administration officials by the end of the week.
“The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats. Watch out for them, they are human scum!”
He likes you guys better than me…
I really don’t see how anyone’s testimony could be more devastating than Bill Taylor’s.
And remember he was sought out by Mike Pompeo for the position.
Apparently a Republican mob led by Trump Cultist Matt Gaetz is trying to stop the testimony of Cooper.
Also involved is Steve Scalise , a member of the Republican Leadership.
Arrest em
Bloomberg News is now reporting that the Hoodlum In Chief was aware of his cult followers action and supported it.
There is a long history of Congressional Members showing up (sometimes House Members in the Senate) at hearings of committees, etc, that they are not members of and “demanding to be heard”, etc.
The rules should be enforced but let’s not pretend for a second that Democrats have not done this exact same thing many times.
They stormed the hearing room in session and have refused to leave….
Democrats have not had the Sgt at Arms and Capitol Police have them removed….
Bear in mind such a stunt during Ryan’s Tenure would have had physical actions to remove people i’d think…
I recall instances of them just adjourning the hearings.
I’ll have more on the childish behavior of the Republican House member’s later when the dust settles….
The Benghazi hearings were closed, just ask Trey. The Committee in question regularly holds closed hearings for the Members (both Republican and Democratic).
Did Scalise really invade the hearing room? Shows that they’re losing because they are complaining about process and not the testimony.
Nancy is running a great process.
Let Bill Taylor testify publicly, the Trump Republicans won’t like it.
