House Intelligence Committee Republicans Question Schiff's Jurisdiction
DeepClips ^

Posted on 10/18/2019 9:18:33 AM PDT by MassMinuteman

Republican House Intelligence Committee members sent a letter to committee leader Schiff on Friday asking for clarity regarding the justification for running the impeachment inquiry in the IC even though there is no clear underlying intelligence component. Members also expressed concern that normal oversight duties are being overlooked in favor of partisan activities.

It’s being done in the IC so they can hold closed door hearings, then come out and leak/lie about their investigation.

IC because it’s all still effectively a counter-intelligence op against the president.

What else can they do? As the minority, they have no power. The only substantive thing they could do is walk out en masse in protest.

Writing letters is not going to get it done. The Republicans need to start disrupting House operations. If they are locked out of hearing rooms, break in; if they are in the room refuse to stop talking. Accost the Dems in the halls and their offices, get in their faces all day, every day. They need to grind everything to a halt.

FR certainly has its share of yentas, that's for sure. I guess it gives their life meaning.

Screw both of yas.

What we have here is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

It’s about time. It’s what I wrote earlier today on another thread - this - whatever this is - shouldn’t even be in shifty’s committee...so why haven’t the Republicans been making noise about it? I say they need to stop showing up for work until this business gets to the right committee..the Judicial Committee if they’re serious...

“”The only substantive thing they could do is walk out en masse in protest.””

That’s absolutely what they must do....”We’ll be back when you feel like playing by the House rules.”

Meantime, they can enjoy another recess...

Take up chewing tobacco and learn to spit.

That’s a great idea. Demand spitoons and when they don’t appear ...
