Lol

Does Gaetz know what happened to Gerard Butler in 300?

[i]Outspoken California Rep. Darrell Issa was escorted out of a House deposition on Benghazi on Tuesday after he tried to crash the closed-door panel on Capitol Hill, NBC News reported. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, had no qualms about kicking Issa out of the meeting. Issa previously conducted an investigation into the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya, but he is not a member of the congressional committee — and after Gowdy confronted him, Issa stormed off. "I'm a prosecutor, we always follow the rules," Gowdy later told NBC News. "[Issa] is not a [Benghazi] committee member and non-committee members are not allowed in the room during the deposition. Those are the rules and we have to follow them, no exceptions made."[i/]

You literally do not understand the nation's conscience when you think it's totally cool to disenfranchise millions of voters by attempting to impeach because of a narrative you refuse to show the public.

You are seeking to depose a duly elected President of the United States of America behind closed doors. What did you think was going to happen?

I'm sorry but you really are stupid. Truly. This WILL go to a vote. Hearings WILL be held in public. Will you believe the malfeasance then or will you come up with some new BS excuse to justify this soulless piece of crap you elected? And you have nearly 50 Republican members of these committees in the current depositions.

Just stop already. Your BS is tiresome. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a GD duck. Trump is a duck.

Once the fact gathering phase is completed and key witnesses are on record they will release transcripts of the closed hearings, hold public hearings and vote. One reason the hearings are closed currently is to make it harder for witnesses to coordinate testimony.
Today’s stunt felt a little bit like witness intimidation to me. I hope ms Cooper was not shaken by mob like atmosphere in what is supposed to be a highly secure area

There was a full house vote on opening an inquiry re: Clinton and Nixon.

Yes, because there is already been thorough confidential investigations by the department of justice.

You are so patiently explaining.

As I suspected, these guys wanted to be arrested. It’s all about the optics. From the Fox News Capitol Hill reporter:

“Fox is told there was never any chance members who barged into the SCIF would be arrested by US Capitol Police but some members asked to be arrested. They wanted the optic of being frog marched out of the SCIF in front of TV cameras. That would help with the GOP narrative of Democratic process abuse.”

It’s now becoming more completely understood what idiots the Republicans were who stormed the SCIF. There were Republicans already in the room with full access. So ridiculous and desperate.

Dems didn't bite.

Hopefully the Sargent at Arms will take appropriate measures going forward.

Thanks for finding this! Also to remind everyone, the rules they are following now were instituted by that partisan Democrat, Paul Ryan!

I mean, yes, but it’s worse than that. Willing to play these games with security risks to please Donald, who knew about it beforehand?

Here's a partial list. They need to lose security clearances if they have them.

About 30 of them met with Trump in the White House 24 hours before the stunt. I guess Trump suborned yet another felony. Who's keeping count?

I don't understand why a SCIF would not be locked with Capital Police stationed at the door. Did Gaetz leave it unlocked for his buddies?

This sounds like any Boris off the street can wander into the SCIF. Have we heard from the chief of the Capital Police?

You are honestly asking this individual if he will believe the malfeasance after we know that the the Clinton campaign paid for the dossier? You people spend pages here calling Barr/Durham corrupt yet when Schiff creates a parody (his words) of Trump's phone call with Ukraine, you believe that parody? Then we find out Schiff met with the whistleblower a month prior to him coming forward AND sent a staff member to Ukraine in August who specifically spoke with 'witnesses' now coming forward? As you say, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a GD duck. Schiff is a duck.

There was a FULL HOUSE VOTE to establish the Benghazi committee. There were actual rules to break:

On May 8, 2014, the House voted 232–186 to establish the select committee, with 225 Republicans and 7 Democrats in favor, and 186 Democrats voting against.[1] The chairman of the committee was Representative Trey Gowdy from South Carolina.[2]

A duck and a parody himself.
