    When enough people know a thing, word tends to slip.

    As I cited in another thread republicans who were in these inquisitions have said there is nothing that can't be released. As in other hearings the witness can state they believe that question should be answered in closed session.

    Leaked DNC emails had direct impacts on opinion polls leading up to the 2016 election. I know you know this.

    Like what emails from the DNC? Was the DNC engaged in some wrongdoing? What in them do you think changed votes?

    So with republicans in the room why is there concern about closed doors? They are afforded the right to make opening statements and ask questions. What’s the problem?

    Big deal she won the popular vote the EC told Hillary to "stuff it".

    Remember this is not a Democracy! Anyway Trump's innaugeration crowd was the biggest ever on any planet in our galaxy so who cares about Hillary's popular vote. In addition to that Trump said 14,000,000 of those votes were illegals aliens from the planet UppaDuppaShuppaTuppa.

    It’s an inquiry based on a WB report that prompted multiple criminal referrals by trump appointments

    Volker never claimed it. However, Schiff's translation of their Q&A has Volker saying "the devil made me do it" when Volker clearly stated "That never happened".

    Deliberate actions by the DNC to push out Bernie Sanders is foremost in my mind. Didn’t like it then. Don’t like it now. It caused a backlash that resulted in would be dem voters going third party or just not voting entirely.

    No hysical server exists it is virtual. Crowdstrike was founded by a RUSSIAN immigrant and operates out of California. So Trump should redirect those guys he sent to look for Obama's birth certificate to RUSSIA and stop in California on the way.

    So there were more than a few who didn't go with crooked Hillary when they learned from the hacked e-mails that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is a corrupt third world political organization.

    But, why hasn't the DNC cleaned house, remake it self by moving back to the middle and purging the Marxist, socialist and anarchist from their political criminal syndicate ?

    I will have to read the transcript if it ever comes to light. What do you base your accusations of Schiff on? Did you read the original transcript ? Was there a transcript and was it published.

    Political leanings and ideals aren’t the problem with the Democratic Party. How they chose to push a terrible candidate like Hilary is. I never liked her, but I don’t believe she would have done the damage Trump has done, and until we have a system that gives third party candidates a fair shake, we’ve only got two options.

    America's form of government will not work with three of more political parties.

    America doesn't have a parliamentary form of government.

    Correct. And until, if ever, we do adopt something similar, we will continue to have two options if we want our votes to hold any weight.

    The loony left better rethink things when it comes to the Second Amendment.

    "I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it." -Donald J. Trump

    Supposedly, an owner or founder of Crowdstrike is from Ukraine.

    The only way I see a Congressional Convention taking place to change the Constitution is when the federal government becomes a tyrannical government the American civilians pick up their own arms (weapons of war)
