Conservative congressmen storm secure impeachment hearing room in Capitol basement and stage sit-in with pizza, Chick-fil-A and forbidden cellphones while Democrats vent anger about stunt that drew POLICE to clear the room
20 right-wing House members disrupted a Democrat-led meeting and prevented a Pentagon official from giving a deposition in the ongoing impeachment probe
They staged a sit-in and ordered pizzas, anticipating a long protest in one of the most secure rooms in the Capitol
U.S. Capitol Police and the Sergeant-at-Arms were called and officers eventually cleared the room
Deposition began 5 hours late but Democrats were able to restore order
The GOP agitators had pushed past guards and barged in with cellphones, which are forbidden in 'SCIFs' where members routinely review sensitive intelligence
News report says President Trump knew in advance and approved of the plan
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who led the effort, insists he never discussed it with him; Republicans in a Tuesday Oval Office meeting with the president told him

A group of nearly two dozen conservative Republican lawmakers stormed a secure meeting room in the basement of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesdsay, disrupting a Pentagon official's deposition in the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.

They staged a sit-in once inside, and had pizza and Chick-fil-A delivered for lunch, complaining all the while about a lack of transparency in the Democrats' secretive probe.

The president on Tuesday told Republicans in the Oval Office that he approved of their plan for a standoff, according to White House sources who spoke to Bloomberg.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who organized it, was not in the room. He insisted in text messages on Wednesday that Trump 'had no notice. ... I led the effort and never discussed with POTUS.'

Republicans who did attend Tuesday's White House meeting gave Trump a heads-up, according to a person familiar with what happened. Gaetz told reporters at the Capitol that there had been 'no coordination' with the White House.

Laura Cooper, the U.S. defense official who oversees Ukraine and Russia matters, was set to testify behind closed doors until the conservatives entered and began yelling.

Wednesday's dramatic confrontation led to a call to the House Sergeant-at-Arms, and the Capitol Police entering and trying to clear the room to bring order. The proceedings resumed five hours later.

The GOP group that had barged in brought cellphones with them, something that is forbidden in secure rooms known as SCIFs – Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities. They are the most secure locations in the Capitol, where lawmakers routinely review classified intelligence.

'They're freaked out. They're trying to stop this investigation,' liberal California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu said. 'They don't want to hear from witness Cooper today. They know more facts are going to be delivered which are absolutely damning to the president of the United States.'

Conservative Republican Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina told reporters that there were 'about 20 members down there,' in the hearing room.

He said 'at least a dozen' of them don't sit on any of the three House committees engaged in the impeachment probe, 'and they're going to wait until there's a more open and transparent process.'

Republicans have called the rules for the impeachment inquiry set by the leaders of the Democratic-led House unfair. The U.S. Constitution gives the House wide latitude in how to conduct the impeachment process and set rules for the inquiry.

A witness who saw the events said the Republican lawmakers pushed past Capitol Police personnel and started yelling, voicing their objections to decisions made by the Democratic leaders of the House to hold depositions in closed sessions and not release transcripts of the testimony.

Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, earlier in the day arrived for testimony and was expected to face questions about Trump's decision this year to withhold $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine that was approved by Congress.

In testimony on Tuesday, William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, said Trump had made the aid contingent on Ukraine announcing it would conduct politically motivated investigations the president demanded.

Trump on Monday told reporters that 'Republicans have to get tougher and fight' the impeachment, saying the Democrats 'vicious and they stick together.'

'It never ends. The Do Nothing Dems are terrible!' Trump wrote on Twitter earlier on Wednesday, later adding their 'case is DEAD!'

Before the hearing room was stormed, dozens of House Republicans appeared before reporters with some denouncing the impeachment process run by Democrats as a 'joke,' a 'railroad job,' a 'charade' and 'Soviet-style.' They complained that testimony was being taken privately rather than in public hearings and that the House did not hold a vote formally authorizing the investigation.

'It is a sham, and it's time for it to end,' North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Walker said.

Shiff booked the SCIF room but no classified information was in the room. Another scam by shifty schiff. The Republicans verified this before storming the room as to not violate national security.

to quote a President that Democrats used to idolize, but would now deem a racist, bigot, and misogynist, JFK...

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings."

Repeal the 17th Amendment and the Reapportionment Act of 1929!
