CNS News<\/a> posted an article today that includes a very interesting question.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff says his impeachment inquiry hearing is not classified, so why won\u2019t he allow the media to see what\u2019s going on in it, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) asked reporters after he attempted to enter Schiff\u2019s secretive, closed-door proceeding on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both they and members of Congress should be allowed into the hearing, Scalise told reporters:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as we went into the room, Adam Schiff hadn\u2019t even started the hearing \u2013 which, by the way, Schiff pointed out himself was not a classified hearing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo, again, it begs the question: why aren\u2019t members of Congress allowed to come into an unclassified hearing dealing with impeachment of the president?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy aren\u2019t you, as the press, allowed to go into an unclassified hearing to find out what\u2019s really going on?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Representative Scalise stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery member of Congress should be allowed in that room. The press ought to be allowed in that room.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, when we got there \u2013 and we were there peacefully, we were there to hear what was going on \u2013 we actually wanted to hear the witness. And, instead, he left \u2013 he threatened us. Adam Schiff threatened us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to bow down to his threats. We\u2019re going to represent the voices of the millions of Americans that our districts represent. The vast majority of members of Congress, by the way, who are not allowed to be in that room, ought to be in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody ought to be able to see what\u2019s going on in this inquiry \u2013 including members of Congress and the press \u2013 so our constituents can see what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Sunlight is exactly what the Democrats are avoiding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
