House Republicans stormed a closed-door hearing Wednesday to protest Democrats' impeachment inquiry process, breaking up the deposition of a top Defense Department official who was testifying about President Trump's dealings with Ukraine. "They crashed the party," said Rep. Harley Rouda (D-Calif.), a member of the Oversight and Reform Committee, one of three House panels leading the impeachment probe. Dozens of Republicans, including some members of leadership like House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), barged into the secure hearing room in the Capitol basement where Laura Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, was set to provide private testimony. The deposition got underway after a five-hour delay. Several lawmakers said that, in response to the Republican protest on Wednesday morning, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) left the room with Cooper and postponed her interview.

"17 pizzas arrived to serve the GOP members still holed up in the House Intel Cmte, essentially blocking the deposition of Pentagon official Laura Cooper. GOP CO Rep Lamborn just arrived with what he described as “relief supplies” for the members: two large bags of Chick-fil-A"

Whoot!

Let’s roll.

“...storm...”??? I think more like “tried to enter an improper, unethical, inappropriate, seditious, traitorous closed proceeding”.

It’s a good day.

Schiff left WITH the witness???? Doesn't that amount to collusion? I am truly surprised that AG Barr hasn't arrested the colluding, conniving band of Rats. OK, bad optics, but justice.

The Republicans should be in the room day in and day out protesting. If Pencil Neck moves the hearings, they move with them.

I can't wait till the Republicans win back the House in 2020! Schiff and Pelosi will be expelled.
