Morphine Prince 109,649 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Dozens of House Republicans on Wednesday stormed the secure facility inside the Capitol where impeachment investigators have been deposing witnesses, forcing a delay to the proceedings on the heels of damning new revelations that could further imperil President Donald Trump. The two sides were still trying to work through the standoff by mid-morning, with Republicans who do not sit on the committees leading the inquiry refusing to leave the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the Capitol, and Democrats insisting those lawmakers had no right to be there. According to people familiar with the matter, some GOP lawmakers brought their cell phones into the secure area — a significant violation of House rules. Another person said the room had to be fully swept for potential security breaches, and Democrats said the Republicans compromised national security by bringing electronics into a secure area. Republicans said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) was threatening GOP lawmakers with ethics violations. Schiff was also consulting with the House's sergeant at arms, while Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper — who appeared for her deposition Wednesday morning — was still waiting to testify behind closed doors. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy appeared to excuse the lawmakers who brought their cell phones into the secure area, telling POLITICO: “These are individuals who have never been in Intel Committee before or anywhere else. So it’s nothing serious from that matter.” Democrats were visibly frustrated and vowed that the Republican effort would not throw their impeachment inquiry off course. They said the stunt showed that Republicans were reeling from Tuesday’s testimony by William Taylor, the top American diplomat in Ukraine, who directly tied Trump to a quid pro quo with the eastern European nation involving critical military aid.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 This is just disgusting. I saw this in Facebook and one of the first comments said this. "I'm prior military. If I stormed into a secure room on base I would be detained and removed from the unit. Plus, have my security clearance revoked. What is going on in D.C.??!?" They went in there with the electronics too and electronics are forbidden.

JazzGa 14,652 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 So why do these guys not get chucked in the paddy wagon for trespassing like any other protestor? Every single one of them should be arrested. Now THAT's what I call Draining the Swamp, Volume 4!

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 What's that saying about a cornered animal? Arrest them next time tbh. They clearly weren't ready for Bill Taylor to do his actual ****ing job and tell the truth. The desperation is SO embarrassing, I wish I could enjoy this spectacle with everyone sane, but unfortunately so many people are still brainwashed into thinking the Republicans are the ones doing their best to save this country and not the pockets of billionaires 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
