Republicans Storm Closed Impeachment Proceeding
The Daily Caller ^ | October 23, 2019 | Shelby Talcott

Posted on 10/23/2019 9:05:26 AM PDT by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

House Republicans briefly shut down a closed-door meeting Wednesday by storming the room where lawmakers were questioning a Defense Department official involving the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

Over a dozen Republican lawmakers gathered outside of the private meeting room Wednesday and told reporters that they would try to enter the closed-door deposition regarding the official impeachment inquiry into Trump. The House intelligence, foreign affairs and oversight committees are leading these proceedings after allegations that Trump asked Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

“We’re gonna go and see if we can get inside,” Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz told reporters according to a video posted on Twitter. (RELATED: What Is The Process For Impeaching A President?)

Theater yes, but to highlight that it’s a one sided partisan process.

Well, I think if a meeting is held outside the rules of the House it is not an act of the House and anyone is free to treat it not as an exercise of the legislative power of the US, but the corrupt and illegal acts of a bunch of individuals. Let the lawsuits fly.

via Chad Pergram who covers Congress for FOX News who was there..

Some 3 dozen House GOPers try to get into closed door interview with Pentagon official Laura Cooper.

....GOP KS Rep Marshall on Schiff...” when GOPers tried to enter closed door interview. Marshall says Schiff “just got up and left. He doesn’t have the guts to tell us why we can’t come in the room. Why he doesn’t want this to be transparent. It’s the biggest facade. The biggest farce”

Wassserman Schultz says... GOPers were “shouting defenses of the president. Some of them were shouting about the process “there was NO effort to physically remove” GOPers who tried to barge in to room where Cooper was to be intereviewd......”we’ll be back when the stalemate ends.”

My type of civil disobedience would be for a Republican lawmaker to hurl a balloon of urine at Nancy when she is on the Speakers podium. The look on that old witches face would be priceless. I know demented...but you can’t tell me you would not want to see that evil harridan get hers.

and if it is therefore anot an Act of the House, since it is outside any rules, then the Capitol Police should shut it down. Not that it will happen
