Republicans storm closed-door hearing to protest impeachment inquiry

[g5000]

Who's hiding? There are Democrats and Republicans participating in these hearings. Next time, try not to drop the mic on your foot.

BS

Fascist Democrats won't allow sunlight because they can't afford to have their Witchhunt exposed.

Republicans are also demanding Democrats not destroy audio recordings of the hearings. So far, with no response.

You really should have read the topic before exposing yourself as another parroting rube.

Why hide?

Mic drop

Because this is an investigation. Like Mueller held investigations in secret. Witnesses cannot co-ordinate testimony.

Has the DOJ followed up the criminal referrals about this Ukraine scandal, the House would not have to do it themselves.

Before the previous impeachments, a Special Prosecutor was named (Cox, Starr, Mueller) held grand jury investigations and produced a report submitted to congress. The William Barr DOJ denied any investigation, a cover up.

Articles of Impeachment will be drafted in public hearings. This is the procedure laid out in the constitution.

Arguing process shows a lack of defense of the allegations. Why aren't Trumpians shouting about the allegations?

Then why not just do it? Quit hiding like a child behind closed doors.

Sunlight is the greatest cleansing agent available.

So witnesses cannot co-ordinate testimony. When are grand jury inquiries public? Why are Special Prosecutor's investigated in public?

As no special prosecutor was named to investigate the Ukraine scandal, the House has to do it themselves.

Except Ukraine is not a scandal.

What happened concerning the Ukraine scandal?

Trump abused the power of his office to secure a quid pro quo benefiting his re-election campaign.

That violates the law.

You're seeing a mirage.

Comey grilled for six hours in closed-door House hearing

I did not hear you all whining about that!

Public closed door, or rest of congress closed door?

 

[Faun]

House Republicans stormed a closed-door hearing Wednesday morning to protest Democrats' impeachment inquiry process, breaking up the deposition of a top Defense Department official who was testifying about President Trump's dealings with Ukraine.

Republicans storm closed-door hearing to protest impeachment inquiry

Awww, poor, unruly Republicans. Crying like babies because they don't have access to those hearings -- even though there are Republicans who serve on the investigating committees; and whining that this isn't an official impeachment inquiry because there was no House vote -- even though there's never been a House rule mandating a full House vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry.

Yes, because Dems have never pulled theatrics like this before.

Except when they do it the milquetoast press calls it "protesting" or "asserting their rights", or "forcefully proclaiming"

And the orwellian twats such as yourself ignore the obvious gaming of the language because you are either to stupid to figure it out, or too partisan hackish to care.

LOLOL

Oh look ^^^ a whataboutism.

Major moves after Louisiana elections: Super-majority gained in Senate and within reach in House

Over three days, February 1–3, House managers took videotaped closed-door depositions from Monica Lewinsky, Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan, and White House aide Sidney Blumenthal.

It's Okay When Republicans Do It!™

Not the same. this was after articles were voted on, and during the actual impeachment process. The house managers were acting as prosecutors during the Trial portion in the Senate.

Although proceedings were delayed due to the bombing of Iraq, on the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote)[19]

Next time read harder.

You seem to think witnesses can only be interviewed behind closed doors on a Tuesday after 7 pm when it is raining and it is a Republican hearing.

You can keep moving the goalposts, parrot, but it isn't working.

The purpose of a closed door hearing does not change with the party in power or the matter being investigated. Try to get that through your thick skull.

I'm not surprised you don't have the intellectual weight to understand why some hearings have to be behind closed doors.

You know...like the Benghazi hearings.

If it's so important that it's closed doors, why are liberals leaking bits and pieces of the hearings, all of which looks bad for the president?

Would you be perfectly ok if republicans started leaking bits and pieces that were favorable to the president? Me thinks not, me thinks you would go apeshit.

For the same reason Republicans are leaking what they hear.

You've got psychological problems....any testimony it's supposed to be open why is it that the new liberals like secret government operations by corrupt politicians? 60s liberals use to distrust government now they love it crazy

Dumbfuck.... there are Republicans in the hearings.

 

[g5000]

The Republicans held closed door hearing during the Clinton impeachment process. They held closed door hearings during the Benghazi debacle. And they grilled James Comey behind closed doors.

All for the exact same reasons.

See if you tards can figure it out. So far, you haven't been able to, even though you have been provided the answer in black and white from Trey Gowdy himself.

"Yeahbut...but...the Democrats did it on a Tuesday!"

This is awesome news...more of Trumps doing. He has empowered the spineless GOP by demanding that the nutless ***** realize they have balls.

 

[MAGAman]

Investigations come before a vote to impeach.

In America, it has to be a real inveatigation. Not a secret Fascist coup.

 

[WEATHER53]

If Dems do this appropriately then it exposes them to prescribed legal counter measures and they can’t have that so keep it hidden

Republicans won 250 conservative judges for life lol

Dear Leader Comrade Trump ordered the House tards to be more zealous of their defense of him or else he was going to lynch them at his next Nuremberg rally.

The goalposts aren't being moved. I am providing the facts of the situation you are falsely trying to present as an equivalent situation to what is described in the OP.

The "closed sessions" during the ACTUAL IMPEACHMENT were depositions given to create a record of the testimony. As in any trial the depositions are given as a written backup to the questioning testimony during the live trial. Depositions by their nature are not open to the public.

Be man enough to admit you were wrong and the two situations are not even remotely similar.

I figure you are too far gone to even be honest enough.

Well, I was wrong. Or was I right?

I thought it was take the parroting tard herd about 48 hours to resume their whining about closed door hearings after being slam dunked on their stupidity.

Clearly, I way, way, way overestimated their intelligence. It took less than five minutes!
