eh, I'm self-employed and out the door from 8-ish until 8-ish. somebody's got to generate the taxes. I read the WSJ, NYT, and some of the local rag online as well. I didn't say I get my opinion from them, just the news I see.

You're "new" here but act like we've met before.

Maybe we have.

Three times voted down.

House Committee Heads who are proceeding in violation of an established practice don't have any discretion. That's' why Schiff is now publically being called out on it.

You think the Repubs went into that room today as a lark ?

So bucko, o for 3
As you already know that isn't needed for the inquiry.

Anyone who stormed in there today in this stunt should lose any security clearances they have. And yes, I would say the same if Democrats did the same. They have the whole SCIF setup for a reason.

This tweet thread has a good description of why it was bad they violated protocols. https://twitter.com/MiekeEoyang/stat...572125191?s=19

There are both Dems and Reps in these hearings. Those who stormed the hearings are a bunch of snowflakes trying to make their little commander in chief feel better.

Reps to you.

They don't have clearances, per se, but I agree that they should lose all access to classified material above, say, FOUO, for a period of time at least.

When I was doing contracting work for the gov, if I had busted into a SCIF I wasn't cleared for during a classified meeting I didn't have access to while tweeting about doing so on my cell phone, I would have most likely gone to jail for some period of time, lost my security clearance permanently, and lost my job.
