There are 41 Republicans in that committee. They would fill the other Republicans in, but this out burst is stupid and I hope they get voted out of office. Any Republicans who support Trump should be voted out of office and go to prison. Yeah, they are the Republican establishment who you all complained about.

There are 10 ® members on the committee, and your fascism is not very flattering.

Do you get to sit in on all congressional hearings or do we elect congressman and women to do that FOR us? That's all that is happening here. And they're held behind closed doors because they are interviewing people about national security issues. Not to mention you need to keep witnesses separated so that they can't square their testimony or be effected by other testimony.
The rules are being followed. Benghazi and Fast and Furious inqurires were done the exact same way, and I don't recall any Democrats storming those meetings.
Stop playing ignorant folks, it's not a good look for you.
Again—the minority is blocked from asking questions, calling witness’s. and issuing subpoenas. These “hearing” are being held in secret so the public cannot see the bias the unfairness, and the lack of supporting evidence driving these so called impeachment hearings. By keeping them secret, the public only knows what the democrats tell them. What is so hard to understand why this Soviet style closed door black box Politburo method of “impeachment’ is clearly butchering the intent of the Constitutional process. Why are Femocrats so afraid of letting the public see what they are doing? What are they hiding?
They are not blocked at asking questions. The 47 Republicans and their staff are asking questions. It is a way to protect the Republicans so that Trump would not know what they asked. Public = circus, private gets things done faster.

No, it's a way to keep Schiff from looking like the fool he is.

Said the Politboro member. Impeachment is not the kind of thing you do in secret.

And there are 3 committees holding hearings IIRC. All with GOP representation.

Dude, with all due respect, you're insane!
lol...that may be---but Im correct. The Democrats are given virtually unlimited time and the Republicans get 90 seconds. So, yes, the Republicans are being prevented from doing any meaningful questioning. Such farcical behavior would be mocked mercilessly were it done in the light of day away from the Schiff "Star Chamber". The process is complete looney toons and will never be accepted by the public. Any survey says the hearing should be public, fair, and open. So, why arent they?
Source?
EDIT: Dude, your reading needs some work.
Quote:But on Fox News, McCarthy claimed Taylor's evidence was taken apart by fellow Republican from Texas, Ratcliffe, who is a member of both the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees.
Although McCarthy did not give specific examples of Ratcliffe's argument because 'we can't really talk about it'.
He told host Laura Ingraham: 'What I'm hearing, is that in 90 seconds, we had John Ratcliffe destroy Taylor's whole argument.
'Adam Schiff won't let us talk about what happened. But what we're finding is that just his questioning in 90 seconds refuted everything of what Adam Schiff believes. There is no quid pro quo.

He was referring to the House Intel Committee the Reps. "stormed" into yesterday. But thanks for your input.
