[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][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."[/b][i/]

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

Yes! The expectation is that it is all okay for the GOP to implement such rules when the Republicans are in the majority, but when the Dems follow the rules created by the GOP, who are now in the minority, they and all their supporters scream foul.  No pun intended, but what is good for the goose is good for the gander.  [/quote]

Do the rules include sending your staff member to a foreign nation to talk to the witnesses prior to them coming forward? How about not disclosing you met with a whistleblower a month prior to them coming forward?[/quote]

They don't PRECLUDE that. There are no rules! This is, once again, NOT A COURT OF LAW.

I am unclear what about meeting with the whistleblower, who is not coming under investigation, has to do with anything.

Even in the far more rigorously regulated criminal justice system cops meet with witnesses long before charges are filed or even investigations are opened. [/quote]

Schiff is not a cop. You know that, right?

It’s pretty suspicious when Schiff was so intimately involved with the initial whistleblower and some of the other witnesses, and then takes the proceedings into secret, without holding a traditional vote. They must’ve been talking about the grandchildren or something[/quote]

Uh, the impeachment hearings haven't started yet.

When they do, then we'll see if they're televised or secret.  [/quote]

Given the fact that Schiff is horribly compromised, he should recuse or be told to step down. You agree, right?[/quote]

He isn't compromised.

You know who is? Pompeo and Barr. They are directly implicated by the materials made public to date.[/quote]
