  1. Lawless traitors (that GOP stunt that wasted five hours and god knows how many taxpayer dollars, not to mention threatening security and breaking the law). They should lose their security clearances and subcommittees.

    1. @aussie jimWOW!!! DISPASSIONATELY. Well Aussie JIM, YOU PEOPLE. The only YOU PEOPLE that LOVE paedophile trump aka individual one are: racist/supremacist/Nazi/evangelist/dumb as a rock/Jews will not replace us brigade/paedophile trump killing disciples/dumb as a rock/dingalings/Putin GRU Kremlin bots/trolls/sleepers, the question is which category do you fall into MATE.

    2. @David GoldmanWhat does that matter. You must be a RUSSIAN to ask that question. If paedophile trump aka individual one was not in the white house, paedophile trump would be in JAIL along with Michael Cohen.

    3. dan112020 hey cool it, Aussie Jim, Canadians (me) and a lot of the world don’t fit in your notion of Trump watchers. We’re allies of the US watching in shock and horror as America, YOU PEOPLE, a great country of leaders and broad thinking innovative peoples, tears itself apart over a sleazy NYC slum landlord. May God protect you and justice prevail until this thick, dim witted, moralless, power hungry 2 year old is removed from office.

    4. @Lynn AbernethyAmen to that and not an Evangelical AMEN either, they support paedophile trump aka individual one wholeheartedly, because of the ABORTION ban and that is Mike DENCE and MOTHER doing. I wonder if that is what Mike Dence says in the throws of passion.

  2. Evil, Failed, Un Christian, Un American Trump is the Worst thing to happen to America since Slavery.
    Trump is Pure Evil.
    Republicans have Failed America.

    1. They are trying to steal America out from under us like Putin did to Russia. They have no loyalty to America and may even rename it after taking over and ending democracy.

    2. Make Racists Afraid Again True, there weak, trying to save him,, that will save there…jobs……They forgot we follow the man elected to follow the laws of the CONSTITUTION ….not a man who makes up his own..Trumptution rules.

    3. Luteplayer That’s what ,,Trump wants,, a civil WAR…..he thinks he’s. THE CHOSEN ONE,KING OF THE JEWS.. As he stated in rose garden….Trump is conning,slick, smart, but this is due to his,, MENTAL ILLNESS…hes a. NUT.

    1. ignem enim in inferno olim im chorum sus. —Absolutely, presidential election should based on popular and majority votes. The MINORITY 1/3 of the population can’t have power over MAJORITY 2/3 of the population.

  3. Those people broke the law. Endangered national security. They must have an exemplary punishment.

    1. They tried to, “lock her up,” for this s**t! VIDEOING, making PHONE CALLS, BULLYING PEOPLE, in a UNITED STATES SKIFF, FFS! A) This can NEVER be repeated! B) They need to LOCK THEM UP! C) They NEED ARMED GUARDS, willing to CUFF THEM and drag them off the THE CAN!!!

  4. She’s right, it was done to impress the president. He made them all take a loyalty oath in 2016, and these past weeks as they were inching toward the door to save their skins, he reminded them bigly about it.

  5. The House Republicans and democrats who are on the committee are allowed in, but only those on the committee. What the non committee republicans did today was unconstitutional and unlawful.
    What the house is doing right now is a investigation into the truth and facts of what happened. You don’t go tearing into a police investigation while they are interrogating the witnesses, so how do they think what they did was lawful. If Republicans can wait, the House committee, once they have enough of the facts, will bring their case to the Senate where the Head justice will hold court and hear the findings. This is a simplified version of how our government works. Please people learn How our government works before you start spouting fox talking points. we are tired of your ignorance.

    1. Funny how the Rethuglicans insisted on closed-door depositions during their many Benghazi investigations, which never found anything. At the time they insisted that it was the best way of doing things. Their hypocrisy knows no limits.

  6. Intentional law breaking law makers should be expelled and banned from public office, this was no mistake, this was obstruction of justice.

    1. I know right. Because you never know when New Mexico is going to invade. You just can’t trust those Mexicans!

    2. Colorado Citizens are smart and want to keep Trump out but they do not need a wall, they can put Trump and his Muppets in the supermax prison called ” *Alcatraz of the Rockies* ” were inmates are kept locked up 23 hours a day / 7 days a week. One phone call every 3 weeks, no human contact and best of all, no internet so we do not need to see tweets. They have the “Trump Walls” in Colorado already, they just need to use it.

  7. I don’t remember democrats getting any access or input when the trumpublicans were rewriting a healthcare plan. Thank you John McCain.

    1. Matt Gates?
      If you’re not already aware, he’s also one of the few members of Congress to have a mugshot, because shortly after graduating from law school, he was pulled over while driving drunk (in his father’s car, of course) and refused to take a breathalyzer.
      Which should have resulted in his license being suspended, because it would for pretty much anybody else in his state, but his father managed to get the case dismissed.
      So yeah, if you’re talking about him, you’re not wrong.

  8. These Republicans are taking their defense too far. It’s too extreme without any legal or constitutional basis. Why? Why are they so afraid of the truth coming out? Why do they need him to stay in office so badly?

    1. They need to remember SADOm killed his own backers. Crazy people think everyone is out to get them. Gaetz reminds me of a little rich. Bit.. and don jr

  9. The Sergeant at Arms should have locked Gaetz up, this is the second time he has tried to force his way into the hearings.
