Appearing Friday on the Fox News Channel, Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) revealed House Democrats are still withholding transcripts of depositions conducted by the House Intelligence Committee inside Congress’s Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) as part of their impeachment inquiry.
A partial transcript is as follows;
ANCHOR: Democrats and Nancy Pelosi have said they are waiting on these articles to ensure there’s a fair trial in the Senate, but there have been a lot of other theories floated by Republicans, by folks from the other side of the aisle that think that Nancy Pelosi is stalling for all sorts of reasons. So I want to get your thoughts on why these articles are being held.
REP. MICHAEL BURGESS: My first take is that they’re holding the articles of impeachment because they really had nothing in the first place, so if they send them to the Senate and it crashes and burns, the president is exonerated and they did not accomplish what they set out to accomplish, which was to politically harm the president at the beginning of a political year.
ANCHOR: So you think they’re stalling, in essence, to continue digging, that they’re hoping they find something more?
REP. BURGESS: Look, they had all the tools at their disposal on the House side, they made it secret. They had armed guards outside the doors. They still haven’t made all of the transcripts available to members of Congress. And according to House rules, any committee hearing, the transcript is supposed to be available to other House members. But they have not done so, and no one has asserted that these are classified briefings. They were just simply secret hearings because it behooved the speaker to have secret hearings. That doesn’t...

Why not? We have a rouge government and there’s no punishment for this kind of behavior.
Agree. House Dems have the green light from the GOP Senate to continue coordinating the CIA backed coup at their leisure. The coup is only “ending” when POTUS leaves the White House in January 2025 and not a minute earlier.
“a rouge government”
Yes, it is certainly a RED government. No doubt about it...at least on the “D” side of the aisle.
It’s all about ‘fairness’ yaknow.
This charade will end eventually, not well.. but it will end.
Maybe McConnell should tell Pelosi that all of the transcriptsame will need to be released before he can accept the articles of impeachment.
There is no Impeachment!
If all members of the House have not seen the text, there should NOT have been a vote to impeach by the house.
no one can impeach the President on grounds of dislike ...
otherwise obama would not have made it a year.. and Trump is doing a super good job.. dems cant impeach a success...
hey pelosi, it was a terrible idea anyway.. give it up!
The government’s not just commie rouge, it’s also rogue.
Send in Sandy Berger!
It’s terrible when my dyslexia kicks in :P
You have an unfair impeachment 'event' or whatever you can call it in the House, but then they want the Senate to be fair?
Insanity.
Piglosi told us that impeachment in the House is a political not a judicial proceeding, but she wants it to be a judicial proceeding in the Senate with only Democrat politics allowed.
I know there is at least one witnesses whose transcript was not released. It’s fair to assume it is because it does not fit the narrative and may very well be exculpating. Why are the repubs on the intelligence committee not saying this? They cannot reveal details, maybe, but they can say that it exists.
A coup is sudden and in the phrase "coup d'etat"- strike at the state, which coup is shorthand for involves immediate physical removal of the head of state and takeover of government and press facilities. We are debasing the language just as surely as the PC Left is debasing it by assigning new and fanciful meanings to words that have definitions already.
A coup is a strike, a hit, not a slow maneuvering of forces.
Has Nancy Pelosi changed the paperwork and backdated it yet?
Appearing Friday on the Fox News Channel, Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) revealed House COMMUNISTS are withholding transcripts of depositions conducted by the House Intelligence Committee inside Congress’s Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) as part of their impeachment inquiry.
Only communists practice communist tactics. Read Stalin.
