Phones in the classified area of the SCIF is a significant breach. Rules on that are ironclad >>>
@RonaldKlain Second source confirms for me that some Republicans brought cell phones into the classified space. Unclear how this will be handled but this sort of thing just doesn't happen.
FWIW, around 48 of the House’s 197 Republicans have access to the impeachment proceedings by virtue of being on the three committees leading the inquiry.
Also, nowhere close to all 48 actually attend these depositions. (Only a small fraction of Democrats allowed in actually attend too).

SULLIVAN, a top State Dept. official and Trump's nominee to be ambassador to Russia, is tellingt the Senate about his awareness of a "campaign" by Rudy Giuliani to remove Ambassador Yovanovitch.
"My knowledge...about any involvement of Mr. Giuliani was in connection with a campaign against our ambassador to Ukraine," Sulivan said, describing the spring/summer timeframe.
In repsonse to Kaine, SULLIVAN says he's only seen the public version of the Trump-Zelensky call transcript.

He also affirms that he told Yovanovitch she had done nothing wrong, despite her removal.

JUST IN: House resolution empowers SCHIFF to call public hearings and add as many rounds of uninterrupted questioning as he wants -- up 45 minutes per side -- in which only SCHIFF/NUNES or a staffer can ask questions.

docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
There's not much else of significance in here. It directs the Judiciary Committee to issue its own procedures for offering Trump the ability to call or cross examine witnesses.

docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
ALSO: The resolution spells out that Republicans can suggest subpoenas or witnesses but must submit justifications in writing and they can be vetoed by Dems.

That's consistent with previous impeachment procedures. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…

@RepAlexMooney So you're publicly admitting just how much you hate America?

Admitting proudly that you attacked a classified (#SCIF) facility with intent to gain unauthorized access to classified information. Pretty unpatriotic of you.

At least now you and the other @GOP are publicly...
@RepAlexMooney @GOP ...admitting that the case against Trump is so overwhelming that when the trial is held in the Senate the @SenateGOP will have no choice but to vote to convict and remove him.

Admitting you can't come up with any defense to present during the Senate trial so you have to break...
@RepAlexMooney @GOP @SenateGOP ...the law and attack the process.

Admitting the current fake Republicans in the @GOP are no longer in favor of rule of law or the Constitution.

Once again the GOP proudly proclaims Party over Country. /end

GOP lawmakers have lost their damn minds. Storming the impeachment hearings won't save Trump.
via @mkraju: Roughly 2 dozen House GOP'ers stormed the SCIF, delaying the Cooper testimony. Gohmert and Byrne were yelling about what they call a sham process.

via @kyledcheney: Phones in the the SCIF is a significant breach. Rules on that are ironclad.
@mkraju @kyledcheney Behold: House Republicans storm the SCIF with non-committee members, yelling about they call a “sham process,” all in a desperate attempt save Trump from impeachment.

Idiots.

#Republicans must now own their administration’s effort to destroy protection for preexisting conditions. nytimes.com/2019/03/27/us/…
The #ACA is critical to #RhodeIsland’s fight against the opioid crisis. The law has helped thousands of RIers get health insurance through #Medicaid expansion, and guarantees coverage for substance use treatment.

.@realDonaldTrump’s effort to overturn the #ACA is directly counterproductive to our work to curb this epidemic.

BREAKING: Trump caved and sent Pence over with a $2.1B offer. Schumer of course laughed and REJECTED it saying it was too high, that Trump won’t get a cent for a wall. This is not what we sent Trump to Washington for.
