House Republicans are calling for the committee chairpersons overseeing the impeachment inquiry to release the guidelines and regulations under which depositions and transcriptions of testimony are being conducted.
“We write to demand the release of the rules that are governing the depositions and transcribed interviews being conducted by the joint action of your three committees,” nearly 80 GOP lawmakers said in their Friday letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) and Oversight and Reform Committee acting Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.)
"The secrecy in which these depositions and interviews are being conducted, and the lack of clarity on the rules that govern attendance and access to records, are deeply concerning in the context of such a serious inquiry,” the letter read.”

“You have consistently denied non-committee Members their right to attend these depositions and interviews without specifying any authority to do so. House regulations clearly permit all House members to attend depositions,” they continued.
“You have also consistently denied the right of non-committee members to view the transcripts of depositions and interviews without specifying any authority to do so. These transcripts are committee records. Committee records that are the property of the whole House and under House rules, no Member can be denied access to committee records.”

Rep OompaLoompa Nadler: “Rules? We don’t have rules! We don’t have to show you no rules!”
There are no rules. If there were, the rules would have been reported out by the Rules Committee and voted on by the House. Since there was no vote on Rules, and no vote on an inquiry, it is not the House that is proceeding with impeachment. It’s a group of members, operating on their own, not as the House.
Rules?
Libs don’t need no stinkin’ rules.
For getting their dumb*ss offspring into college.
For calling themselves native Americans.
For handling classified information.
For perjury.
For getting their dumb*ss offspring megabuck jobs.
For letting illegals vote.
For getting Vietnam ribbons (you tuned in, Lurch?)
And on and on and on.......
That's only the first step. If the Dems don't clean up their act there could be...a second letter.
That’s the best description of what’s going on.
“That’s only the first step. If the Dems don’t clean up their act there could be...a second letter.”
The second letter will threaten a f*rt in their general direction.
Republicans are so wimpy they all could be Mittens RINOmney.
But you can't impeach a congressman. They have to be voted out of office.
In all caps...
What makes them think there are rules?
The House can vote to expel a member for misconduct but the Demoncrats will never do that to one of their own.
Expulsion with a 2/3rds vote, I think it is.
But you're right, the current House would never expel SchifftyEyes.
The democRATS don't think he is engaging in any misconduct. To the contrary, they're cheering him on. He's doing their dirty bidding right now.
Getting rid of Trump is their all-consuming rage.
