Republican staffer caught spying on Democrats during Judiciary Committee meetings

Source: The Raw Story

A Republican staffer from the Ways and Means committee was caught spying on Democrats during their work over the weekend.

According to a Judiciary Committee source, the female staffer was ultimately discovered and ran out of the committee room once it was discovered she was there, tweeted Olivia Beavers, a writer at “The Hill.”

“A Judiciary source says the committee, which has been practicing for their Monday impeachment hearing this whole weekend, came across a female GOP Ways and Means staffer in the hearing room today, but that she ran out once discovered,” she tweeted.




Republican Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) has asked that the proceedings be delayed because he can’t keep up with his work. He’s indicated he’s a little overwhelmed by the evidence the GOP is faced with.

Of dem notes during a break in the hearings last week?

It was posted here, with pics of a woman using a cell phone to take the pictures. Pretty obvious.

I hope the House is sweeping for electronic devices regularly. In their offices, in their cars, in their homes.

Republicans: 1) lie 2) lie and cheat 3) whine and always play victim 4) blame others no matter what 5) ask for foreign intervention 6) billionaires support their lying arses; 7) claim superiority for religion and moral 8) take away Dem governors rights to govern their own state whenever Republicans are in majority 9) constant conspiracy bullshit stories 10) corrupt and tax cuts and favors for only the rich 11) fuck up the economy 12) et al.,

Repeat Russian lies . . .

much more.

...and then they pull a funk when they don't get their way:

Republican Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) has asked that the proceedings be delayed because he can’t keep up with his work. He’s indicated he’s a little overwhelmed by the evidence the GOP is faced with.

“It is impossible for Judiciary members to sift through thousands and thousands of pages in any meaningful way in a matter of hours.”

Collin’s complaint falls in line with the Republican’s attack on impeachment; going after the process instead the facts of the case.


Collins was in the room and heard the testimony just like the other committee members, yet only he complains? Awwwwwwww, Poor whiny toad. (no offense intended to amphibians)

Most of the information has been available for weeks, if not months. He should have been keeping up all along. Instead he is trying to cram and is just not capable of taking in the information.

It's like Michael Moore stated: "They're like sharks. They never sleep." Just watched Collins respond to Nadler. We are in alternate universes.

I can deal with not knowing who it is as long as she faces some consequences. I seriously doubt she did this on her own.

Our crew has been entirely above-board as far as I can tell, and way above the fray. Nunes, astonishingly far from any such call. That freak needs some serious detention. She can spy all she wants, but maybe it does give some illegal insight on strategy, and she ought to at least lose her job and any clearances she might have.

Maybe he didn’t mean to insult Law Professor Karlan when he implied that there was no way she could be testifying on things she hadn’t read. Maybe he sincerely thinks it’s not possible because he can’t keep up and is not able to do that...
