House conservatives attempt to access closed-door impeachment hearing
By Juliegrace Brufke - 10/16/19 02:01 PM EDT

House conservatives on Wednesday attempted to barge into a closed-door hearing where a former top aide to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was providing testimony in the Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

While none of the lawmakers sit on the committees leading the impeachment inquiry — House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight and Reform — they argued the process has lacked transparency and all members should have access to the information.


The conservatives, led by House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), also attempted to view the transcript of testimony from Kurt Volker, President Trump's former special envoy to Ukraine, arguing the information released so far has been "cherry-picked by Democrats."

Biggs accused Democrats of leaking selective information that doesn’t provide the full story and alleged they were holding “Soviet-style, secret hearings.”

Rs should make multiple attempts per day to enter the meetings, make a very public issue of Dems' secrecy.

Didn't Schitt permit Jerold Waddler access to the Committee?  If so, that should be brought up every time the Republicans do as you suggest.  "Democrats not on the Committee are allowed in, but Republicans with the same status are not."

I think they are doing this for the very reason you state. It's a great illustration of how this isn't an example of American jurisprudence, but is in reality a Soviet style investigation.

They should bring the TV cameras with them. Of course, most of the networks wouldn't air the footage.

Watching the GOP fail yesterday and again today is delightful.  Yes GOP, keep putting a spotlight on your impotence.

Not according to the fake news I watch.  If you ever find a source for this, ping me please.

I haven't seen a story, so it's probably a fish tale.
