    The testimony is classified.

    He has the authority to declassify anything that's classified.

    Who decides if something is classified again?

    Who does the "classifying"? Is it Congress?

    I'm already laughing.

    Members of Congress don't need security clearance and aren't subject to background checks of any kind.

    I worded it too casually. This testimony occured in a SCIF due to the classified nature of the material being discussed. Trump absolutely does not have authority to intervene.

    Hahahahaha!

    Being in a SCIF doesn't make it classified either.

    Keep going.

    Again, who classified the testimony?

    If they were, we'd have a lot less Democrats in Congress.

    Let me help you as you struggle:

    https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-01-05/pdf/E9-31418.pdf

    Sec. 1.3. Classification Authority. (a) The authority to classify information originally may be exercised only by: (1) the President and the Vice President; (2) agency heads and officials designated by the President; and (3) United States Government officials delegated this authority pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section.

    Moreover:

    Sec. 1.4. Classification Categories. Information shall not be considered for classification unless its unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause identifiable or describable damage to the national security in accord-ance with section 1.2 of this order, and it pertains to one or more of the following: (a) military plans, weapons systems, or operations; (b) foreign government information; (c) intelligence activities (including covert action), intelligence sources or methods, or cryptology; (d) foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources; (e) scientific, technological, or economic matters relating to the national security; (f) United States Government programs for safeguarding nuclear materials or facilities; (g) vulnerabilities or capabilities of systems, installations, infrastructures, projects, plans, or protection services relating to the national security; or (h) the development, production, or use of weapons of mass destruction.

    IT DOESN'T EVEN QUALIFY TO BE CLASSIFIED

    We can't forget about Jerry Nadler and his impeachment investigation. He may in another room in the basement, or a closet.

    He literally showed the law on his video, there is zero legal standing here for what Dems are doing.

    And a very dangerous joke.

    The left is eager to shut down opposing views or allow facts which may interfere with their political ends. It really all comes down to their desire for censorship - and on every level. Perhaps they feel the world will be a better place if we all think like them. Scary thought, huh?

    What BS
    Did any poster here look up that passage? Show of hands.........none. I thought so
    Look it up and keep reading, it's clear why he wasn't allowed in and there was no violation........other than the people that voted for the showboating idiot in the video.

    There's some irony in the fact that members of the Deep State are holding their secret meetings in the basement of the House.

    Members of Congress have the necessary clearance. What is interesting is there are very few people with access to the hearing records and there are countless leaks to the media. With so few with access why has shiffty not tracked down the leakers. My guess would be, because he is controlling the leaking of supposed classified testimony to his gain. This is corruption at its finest. The dims are showing just exactly who the deplorables are and at the same time exposing who the sheeple are.

    From what I have gathered:

    Trumpies like to Cherry-Pick which "Republicans" they "agree" with. :salute:
