House Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., on Wednesday essentially stormed a closed-door session connected to the impeachment investigation of President Trump, prompting House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to suspend the proceedings in a remarkable scene.
The stand-off happened after lawmakers held a press conference Wednesday morning where they accused House Democrats of a lack of transparency.
“We’re going to try and go in there, and we’re going to try to figure out what’s going on, on behalf of the millions of Americans that we represent that want to see this Congress working for them and not obsess with attacking a president who we believe has not done anything to deserve impeachment,” Gaetz said.
The Republicans specifically called out Schiff, D-Calif., who is leading the investigation.
“What is Adam Schiff trying to hide?” asked House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La. “I think that’s the question so many people have, so many of my colleagues have, so many people in the press should have.”
“Voting members of Congress are being denied access from being able to see what’s happening behind these closed doors where they’re trying to impeach the president of the United States with a one-sided set of rules,” Scalise continued. “They call the witnesses. They don’t let anybody else call the witnesses.”
“We’re gonna go and see if we can get inside,” Gaetz said at the conclusion of the press conference.
From there, about 30 House Republicans flooded the room where Laura Cooper, who oversees Ukraine policy at the Department of Defense, was set to testify.
Because there was no agreement for non-committee members to be present, this created an immediate standoff. Fox News is told that Schiff did not ask the U.S. Capitol Police to arrest or remove Republicans who charged in -- but he did leave the room and apparently does not plan to start the interview until the situation is resolved.
Fox News is told about a dozen Republicans are still in the secure facility known as a SCIF. In another complication, some non-committee members brought in phones and other electronic devices in possible violation of House rules.
GOP lawmakers flooded Twitter with posts from the scene.
"Adam Schiff just SHUT DOWN his secret underground impeachment hearing after I led a group of Republicans into the room. Now he's threatening me with an Ethics complaint! I'm on the Armed Services Cmte but being blocked from the Dept. Asst. SecDef's testimony. This is a SHAM!" Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala., tweeted.
Zero for three on votes to Impeach. Scared to try a 4th

McConnell has told the senate to prepare for a December trump Impeachment trial. It’s coming, today’s white trash riot notwithstanding.

Why would Schiff hide the proceedings from the people, let alone members of the Armed Services Committee?
-
Back when we had a DOJ, Congress wouldn’t have to do this investigation. The investigation would still be done behind closed doors however.
-
Schiff is doing exactly what Mueller did. Witness shopping until he finds one who contradicts the others, then threatens those who challenge his predetermined outcome with perjury.

Total spin HUDS

Because every GOP member from Oversight, intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees were already there. The White Trash caucus of gohmert and Gaetz felt a riot demanding there presence too was essential. Look on the bright side trumptards: the white trash riot will absolutely be televised today.Dude61 said:Why would Schiff hide the proceedings from the people, let alone members of the Armed Services Committee?
