Pigbuster posted:And these sessions being closed door is perhaps most useful for the republican members. It allows them to actually do their drat jobs rather than public recordings forcing them to put on a song and dance tantrum for daddy and his cultists. The stupid stunt being pulled now is the perfect argument for why these sessions should not be public. nah the republicans can't leak the transcripts accurately enough for people to get their stories straight, that's why they want this to be public

Lote posted:I mean, couldn't you trade out which Reps are on the Committee? It's not like there aren't Republican members on the Committee right now. I think the Republicans control which Rs sit on which committees (not the number of seats they get, but who is in those seats). This whole thing is just a stunt.

PainterofCrap posted:The point is the response. There was no response. Dude was already away from the lectern and almost out of the room by the time the second question was asked. Even if there was a response, what possible value does that hold? Report that Trump said this thing and everyone else said it was a lie. If you confront him about it, he'll lie some more. Stop giving him the opportunity to air his lies

So their staff is either helping them destroy the integrity of the SCIF by doing the one thing you can't do, which is get information out of the room, or they're just straight-up writing fanfiction about what's happening in there.

If this is in fact what's happening, i imagine they left their staff with their cell phones at the checkpoint and the vast majority of them are milling around in the area outside the SCIF just because they can't fit inside. This is still insanely damning for them because it shows they don't respect the need for a SCIF or what it represents.

ACAB I love the fantasy that cops aren’t all MAGA chuds who will do everything they can to stay out of the way of any republicans breaking the “laws of decorum” Nobody is getting dragged kicking and screaming anywhere. That is only for the poors. Even Nixon went out on his own.

also just in case people didn't see those earlier tweets i posted, those are a reliably red reporter saying someone close to mcconnell (who randomly decided to contradict trump about if the transcript of his call was "perfect" yesterday) suggesting that no, seriously, he's at risk of getting convicted - and more importantly implying him being convicted would be the right thing

It would be interesting to actually be outside the SCIF right now to see a bunch of junior aides quietly typing away on their phones about how they are storming the room and engaging in hand to hand combat with the Dirty Dems

You don't need to give him a mouthpiece to accomplish this. sorry if your claim is that the president of the united states can't get on tv then sure that would be nice, but it's stupid and impossible also, trump or his aides getting pressed in live questioning has lead to enormously damaging admissions (it's why he never does interviews outside of hannity anymore) so the idea we should stop doing that is incredibly stupid
