It's important to speak out forcefully about the restrictive rules being imposed on the Capitol Hill press corps for the pending Impeachment trial. Big secrecy happening. This is a huge moment in American history, & the American people are getting shut out. #WednesdayWisdom
2-From Roll Call: "When the articles of impeachment are delivered to the Senate, a procession full of pomp and circumstance, just one video camera & no still photographers will be allowed to document the historic moment. No audio recording at all will be permitted, leaving radio
3-"reporters empty handed. During the trial, a single press pen will be set up on the second floor of the Senate, where lawmakers enter and exit the chamber. Reporters will be confined to the pen, unable to move with senators. No movement will be allowed outside of the corrals
4-"and reporters and photographers will need to be escorted to and from the pen. Credentialed members of the media, who go through security screening to enter the Capitol each day, will be screened a second time to enter the Senate chamber to watch the trial proceedings.
5-"Magnetometers will be set up in the Senate Daily Press Gallery, requiring reporters to enter the chamber one by one after being cleared by Capitol Police operating the machine.” This is massive overkill designed to let GOP control the narrative. #FreePress #WednesdayWisdom
