The House Republicans have resorted to Trump like media attention stunts…
House members NOT on the House Intelligence Committee pushed their way into a secure room where a private interview was being conducted and refused to leave…
The witness and Intel chair David Schiff did….
The stand off lasted for over 5 hours before intruding Republican House members left the area…
We can expect more of this from brain washed House Republicans who are fighting to support their party leader a President that has more and more evidence about himself and others engaged in behaviour that would put anyone else in jail….
Such behaviour from Trump supporters will NOT stop efforts to get to the bottom of Trump’s wrongful and seemingly illegal behaviour ….And his effort’s to cover it up from the Congress…
House Republicans ground the impeachment inquiry to a halt for hours on Wednesday, staging a protest at the Capitol that sowed chaos and delayed a crucial deposition as they sought to deflect the spotlight from the revelations the investigation has unearthed about President Trump.
Chanting “Let us in! Let us in!” about two dozen Republican members of the House pushed past Capitol Police officers to enter the secure rooms of the House Intelligence Committee, where impeachment investigators have been conducting private interviews that have painted a damaging picture of the president’s behavior.
They refused to leave, and the standoff in the normally hushed corridors was marked by shouting matches between Republican and Democratic lawmakers and an appearance by the House sergeant-at-arms, the top law enforcement official in the chamber.
After waiting about five hours for the protest to break up, Laura K. Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, answered questions for more than three hours before the panel wrapped up its work for the day.
Over a dozen of these Members who *are* on the committees, and had a right to be there, tried to crash the hearing.
Unbelievably goofy. They took part in this just to get Trump to notice them.
Probably ….
If you are pulling stunts like this to get the attention of a raging narcissist like Dinakd Trump you have some serious issues.
Someone suggested that the aim was just to distract attention away from Bill Taylor’s graphic and damning testimony — just as Trump does when he sends out an outrageous Tweet about something else whenever the heat is too great.
They went ahead and finished the Q & A….
Distraction or not they DO look desperate
No, James, I was talking about distracting citizens’ attention and diverting the headlines away from leading with Taylor’s testimony.
I wasn’t talking about the committees being distracted.
Sorry ….
I agree with ya on THAT account
BTW?
Rep. Jim Jordan HAS been present in the private House Q & A’s and the reports are that he has NOT raised any noise….
Even Gowdy actually supports the bipartisan process…
What can Gowdy and Jordan say?
They were part of the infamous Benghazi Committee which conducted initial witness questioning in closed sessions.
As Judge Napolitano told the Trump Cult Information Center aka Fox and Friends,these rules were adopted by the Then Republican Majority in the House back in 2015.
I get the pRtisn jabbering over the “process.”
When you have aGuilty client ,ie ,Trump?What Else can you do?
yup….
Ah?
Steve King was among the GOPer knuckleheads that crashed the session….
It’s actually illegal to bring a phone into this type of a hearing.
They KNEW THAT….
Nothing is gonna happen as u know Keith….
Trump tries to push the envelope to keep his job….
