Total Chaos: Pennsylvania Democrats WALK OUT of Hearing on Members Accused of Taking Bribes
Pajamas Media ^ | 5-6-14 | Bryan Preston

Posted on 05/06/2014 3:42:49 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

This morning, the Pennsylvania House State Government Committee held a hearing on the case of the Democrats caught accepting bribes in exchange for voting against voter ID in the state. The case against the Democrats is well-documented, yet Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a Democrat, scuttled it shortly after she took office. Kane also accused the career investigators who built the case of racism.

That charge doesn’t stand up to any level of scrutiny. The investigation targeted Republicans and Democrats, male and female, black and white. As it so happens, only Democrats chose to accept the bribes, and those members who did happen to be black.

Today’s hearing included PJM’s J. Christian Adams and other witnesses. As Adams and the other witnesses were about to testify on Kane’s “corrosive effect on election integrity,” the Democrats on the committee attempted to adjourn, to prevent Adams from speaking. That motion to adjourn failed. Then a Democrat (apparently state Rep. Michael O’Brien) attempted to make a point of personal privilege to block Adams’ testimony from being heard. That was ruled out of order. The Democrats persisted.

The committee chairman, state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, had that Democrat who tried to block Adams’ testimony on a point of personal privilege seized and ejected from the hearing room.

After that, it was total chaos. All of the Democrats on the committee got up and stormed out of the room.

I have a son in law from PA who refuses to register to vote because he thinks that all pols are crooked. Maybe he has a point.

DIMocRATs are such putrid Commies. Their goal is power and they will do anything to achieve and retain it. They all should be locked out of the building once they leave.

This case SHOULD be a national outrage.

That’s the lazy way out...and what allows the openly corrupt to thrive.

Have they no trees in Pennsylvania from which rails could be made? Is there no tar? Do feathered creatures live in the state? Do the Democrats involved still have teeth in their mouths, if so why?

Let's up the charge to treason, try, convict, sentence, and hang them all, including Kane, an oxygen-stealing demonrat like all the rest.

Damn, good men have been doing nothing since November, 2008. No wonder the country is disappearing and becoming communist. We can no longer have any effect with elections, those are corrupt as well.

No surprise there. None at all.

To: afraidfortherepublic; P.O.E.

There is a LOT more to the story:

The hearing is part of Impeachment proceedings against the AG initiated by Rep. Metkalf. The Impeachment was precipitated by the AG’s gross dereliction of duty by publicly refusing to defend the Commonweath’s Defense of Marriage Act against a lawsuit brought by the ACLU becuase she, personally, agrees with the plaintff.

Darrell Issa should take lessons from this guy.

But, but, but Ag Holder notified all State AGs that they no longer were required to defend Laws with which they don’t agree. I mean, he controls the Laws of the Land, doesn’t he? /s

It started well before that—maybe a hundred years or so.

Oh, they deserve free reign to wreck the nation. Their ancestors were slaves 200 years ago. Now, they have the guilt free ticket to plunder!
