Trump's Stooges Throw A Tantrum Because Adam Schiff Won't Let Them Spy On Impeachment

"SNIP.....

Rep. Jim Jordan threw a fit after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff tossed Trump spy Rep. Matt Gaetz out of the closed impeachment interview of Fiona Hill.


Rep. Jim Jordan tweeted:

Rep. Jim Jordan

✔@Jim_Jordan

.@RepAdamSchiff is conducting his secretive impeachment proceedings in the basement of the Capitol, and now he’s kicked @mattgaetz out of today’s deposition.

This testimony should be available to every member of Congress and every single American. What is Schiff hiding?

Jim Jordan is lying. Rep. Jordan knows that closed-door hearings are restricted to only members of the committee or committees who are holding the hearing. Members of Congress aren’t allowed to crash closed-door hearing. Gaetz isn’t a member of any of the committees that were holding the joint hearing, therefore, he can’t be in the room.

As others say Nunes is likely leaking like a sieve.

If they allowed more people in it would only be a bigger spectacle and make it harder to know who leaked.

You would think they would like having the investigation done without publicity so that only serious charges with evidence were made public.

But they don’t know or care how to run a real investigation. They only want to kick up dirt to distract.

Where is the full transcript (not the readout) of Trump's phone call with Zelenskiy? Why hasn't the full, unredacted report from Mueller's investigation been released? What is the administration hiding, O fearless champion of the people's right to know?

He knows damn well what the Rules are, and he knew damn well Schiff would do what he did.

Let him pander for Dissappearing Votes.

The GOP and Trump know that unless they keep feeding the brain-dead base a steady diet of malicious propaganda, they're going to be hitting the bricks sooner, rather than later. Later meaning 4 months or so, btw.

him. The constitution is clear in its simplicity about impeachment.

Trump, on the other hand? He’s clueless and has no idea how much deeper down the rabbit hole the hearings are going to go.
