just how dumb could the followers be? He always looks drunk, stoned or a combination of both. Not too bright, either. Naturally, that pillar of respectability, Gym Jordan had to make a statement on camera. Shirt sleeved ass, defender of pedophiles. How do these people get voted into office? Surely there are intelligent nominees to be found.

This is for fighting this is for fun.

Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.

So disrespected, so poorly treated he can't even get food, can't get medical care, has no place to sleep, so abused little president is well just so abused.

People in heaven wish they had it so good.

Matt Gaetz Driving School yet.

Enter a highly secured area bringing cell phones to use to breach security issues, and obstruct a legal proceeding. All those involved conspired to do this, even trump, and this is a high crime that shouldn't escape severe consequences, or this will get a lot worse.

Since taking an electronic device into a SCIF room is a felony and then using that device to tweet out a picture is another felony, shouldn't the FBI be exercising search warrants on each of those individuals for their phones to :

1) Look for malware form a foreign hostile
2) Look for evidence (text messages, etc) of a conspiracy to commit the crime and the reason for it
3) Look for evidence of efforts to obstruct justice or the impeachment process
4) Look for evidence that the White House directed this effort to obstruct justice
5) Look for evidence that any or all of them have been compromised by an enemy, foreign or domestic, who encouraged them not only to violate their oath of office and ethics agreements but also federal laws pertaining to potential espionage

Of course, I would also suggest a warrant for all computers at their place of work and home to check for the same.

Let's face it, this entire wing of the R party should be going down for RICO violations.

confiscate All those cell phones and search them for evidence for whatever crimes might be on them.
I know very little about the law but I know if any of us did this our cellphone confiscated our bodies thrown in jail immediately.
So it looks more and more like trump and his flying monkey gop followers apparently are above the laws in this country.
Lock all of them up

And to think that these fools are getting paid to behave like this in congress. Meanwhile, if they aren't held accountable for their reckless and illegal behavior, they will just pull more stunts like this.

Thank you.

They should also have the room searched for bugs in case one of the rethuglicans planted one somewhere so they & the president could hear what was going on.

In his case, the House voted to expel him.

You'd think the House would at least censure and fine some folks

Yes, what could have been stolen? Cell phones recording? Pics of papers, folder, logs, etc.

since at the present time ALL reTHUGS are rogue.

rogue:

n. An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.

n. One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp.

n. A wandering beggar; a vagrant.

You can submit a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics here:

https://oce.house.gov/contact-us/make-a-submission?fbclid=IwAR2792krHX0dqZSy29eiWbsTNa5Fa-n2rqi2O7yuoEiV9zDVeJcsQfnDFxQ

In it, you can site the following violations (along with others that you wish to specify): Under 40 USC §§5109(b) & 5104(e)(2)(C), entering a SCIF without authorization, is a federal crime and the penalty is imprisonment of up to 6 months and/or a fine. Also: 30 CFR 2001, and 20003 CNSI prohibits use of personal electronic devices in SCIF zones.

I submitted a couple of complaints and sent the link to many friends.

I remember that a friend of mine was sad when one of his friends accidentally walked into one of these rooms as a defense contractor and was immediately fired and list his security clearance. An honest mistake from a civilian would have fire consequences but these idiots violating their oath of office and federal laws and regulations with no consequences.

On top of that, the Nazi from Iowa, King, who is banned from all committee assignments was one of those thugs.

...they just made fools of themselves.

I hope the management of the Capitol sends McCarthy a bill for cleaning up their pizza boxes and crap that the republicans left behind.

ALL of them should be named and held accountable to congressional rules and national security law.

I'd like the name of all who took part in this fiasco.

So far, I have:

Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Bradley Byrne (R-AL)
Val Demings (R-FL)
Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
Steve Scalise (R-LA)
Steve King (R-IA)

Can others please add to this list?

Alphabetized and conveniently coded to show just whose posterior is hanging farthest into the wind:

As several folks have pointed out, they wanted to be tossed into the briar patch but he was too smart to do it.

If anyone doesn't get the reference, just google Fox - Rabbit - Briar Patch for the folk tale.

I think they were double dog daring Schiff to do it, expecting full well that he wouldn't. Schiff ought to have called their bluff. Well since he didn't, when the Dems left he should have had the guards lock the imbeciles inside the room and tell them to enjoy their pizzas. Let them spend the night in their secure "lock up".

My understanding is that even members on the committees permitted to participate in the hearings had joined the mob and were clamoring for...something.

After they left? Making sure they didn't plant anything in the room?

They walked out so they could walk back in in a huff. (With a pizza box, of course.)

It was all political theater with an audience of Deadbeat Donnie sitting at center stage with the slack-jawed cult in the background applauding their approval.
