vanity question: Closed Door Hearings
12/18/17

Posted on 12/18/2017 5:38:46 AM PST by dontreadthis

There will be a behind doors congressional hearing today with Ohr and tomorrow with McCabe. I anticipate a subsequent PR battle of dueling leaks out of those hearings. How will the public know the truth?

Some things must remain secret. The public is not entitled to know that which is secret

Adam Schiff will run out to the mens room and leak to CNN every hour or so?

Simple:

Democrats lie 100% of the time

RINOs lie 98% of the time

Republicans only lie 75% of the time.

I thought the reason to have closed door sessions was to question issues that were sensitive to national security. Does that really apply much to these?

How will the public know the truth?

Isn't that the purpose of these endless closed door hearings to hide the truth from the public?

We are not talking about military strategy and the like, we are talking about the operation of our federal criminal justice system. Why does it have to be done in secret?

Who "negotiated" this? Some wimpy Republican no doubt.

How did these two perps (Ohr and McCabe) get to dictate this will be done behind closed doors? Did they threaten to not show up? If so, hold them in Contempt of Congress. Then, lock them up until they are willing to speak. Is this to much to ask of the Republican chairmen of these committees? Apparently so.

I'm afraid the extent of corruption at the highest levels of the DOJ and FBI will never see the light of day.

Will Adam Schiff remain seated during the hearing and leave his cell phone outside of the hearing room?

If all of the news media simultaneously crows about something that will surely take down Trumo and repeat it ad naseum 24/7, then it is probably false

Since when have Congressional hearings ever been about the truth? Or informing the public?

take the 5th lose your job, that the stake especially in a closed door session. It would be an admission of guilt, not prosecutable.

Their fear is not so much that We the People can’t handle the truth as We the People WILL handle the truth.

These current closed door hearings are only being publicized because of the news last week. But there are numerous meetings being held with power players from all over the beltway trying to come up with a plan to stop this storm they have started.

They know that if serious trials were ever allowed to begin, or if grand juries are assembled the land slide of people making deals to start singing to stay out of jail would result in half the town being put in jail.

The crime and corruption runs so deep in D.C. there are probably only a handful of of people who would avoid an honest prosecution.
