GOP Lawmakers Cannot View Impeachment Docs Without Supervision of Democrats

Adam Kredo - October 23, 2019 12:50 PM

Democrats are denying Republican lawmakers access to a trove of documents surrounding the impeachment proceeding against President Donald Trump unless they are supervised by Democratic staffers, according to a letter sent by all 21 GOP members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Led by Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Tex.), the lawmakers protested a requirement by Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the lead Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, that a Democratic staffer be present when Republicans view the classified documents.

"Your staff claims that the only way we will have access to the transcripts is in your offices, during designated hours, under the personal supervision and monitoring of a majority staffer," the letter stated.

This would be for security reasons - to keep the documents from being taken from the room. Keep cell phones out to prevent taking pictures of the documents.

Because Republicans are well known for pilfering documents.  Sandy Berger was actually a Republican when he stole documents from the National Archive that cast the Clinton Administration in a poor light following 9-11.

Assuming Republicans are willing to break the law (like Berger did) is why the Dems insist on having a staffer act as security guard. It's better to let Schiff act as gatekeeper so he can leak one side of the questioning while blocking the other side.

Sounds fair.

Yeah.  We wouldn't want any leaks now would we.  That would be too democrat like.
