DEMS are debating right now whether they have Cap Police drag the HOUE GOP out of the SCIF for shutting down the impeachment inquiry.
There is a fear that this would play right into the GOP’s hands. Maybe the resched and put Cap Police there to guard it next time

According to @GerryConnolly the GOP members who protested the COOPER deposition have essentially SHUT DOWN the impeachment inquiry for a time.
Cooper has not been able to start testifying bc members stormed the room.
They’re currently consulting Sargent at Arms.
having a secret trial = perfectly OK

2. Sure, act like a bunch of spoiled brats in grammar school.
That'll get you a lot of respect at election time.
You think that the average american is ok with secret trials and the opposition party locked out of the room!? It worked so well for the ACA...

14. MSNBC reporter just referred to this as a "stunt"
And then went on to discuss Cooper's and Taylor's testimony.
Excellent.
A few weeks ago, they would have let this distract from their coverage of the substance and would have referred to it as some kind of "both sides" situation. Instead, he called it out for what it is.

Lock 'em up.
Oh, yes- lock them up. That will look wonderful for the political press. Dems arrest opposition on... eh... **** it... we don't need a charge.

37. Saw-ree!
But having seen naked Republican lawlessness overrun so many governmental forms over the last 50 years (from Nixon's "secret plan" to end the Vietnam war; the original -gate, Watergate; Ford's pardon of Nixon; the Reagan campaign's interference in Iran; Iran/contra cut short by Poppy's lame duck Christmas Eve pardon parade, the 2000 election fiasco where every Republican machination was reported as being on the up and up - including the Brooks Brothers riot - while Democrats' insistence on following Florida election law then in place was relentless reported as the height of suspicious activity; the gaslighting of the American people so that the Bush II administration could launch two invasions and occupations; to the relentless law-breaking of the Trump administration and now watching these bumbling nincompoops compromising a secure area, I thought a price should be paid at long last. But instead, let's hold hands, sing Kum Ba Yah, and hope that these bomb-throwing back-benchers will suddenly and spontaneously decide to behave themselves.
Or did you have something else in mind?
The irony of the left crying about 'violations of security'...

23. Cooper must have testimony that will implicate them all criminally.
Very important to get these criminals locked up ASAP.

41. I'd LOVE to see them all marched with their hands cuffed behind their backs like they do...
...with mass arrests at demonstrations.
Then lock them ALL in that cell in the basement of the Capitol and don't let them go until all their attorneys show up.
Who wants a Police State? [hint... it's DU]...
