Among the GOP congressmen storming the secure hearing room: Rep. Steve King, who lost his committee assignments due to professed support for white supremacists, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, who sent a threatening tweet to Michael Cohen before his testimony https://t.co/N0yKPKPdFm

This isn't about transparency. It's about intimidation. @realDonaldTrump isn't about free speech. He's about silencing critics. It's about destroying due process, free speech and the promotion of tyranny. Matt Gaetz is the poster boy for Frat Boy Fascism. @mattgaetz https://t.co/Mju1ryZftL

Do we know for sure that the SCIF crashers didn’t plant a bug in the SCIF? They’re not patriots. They were there to create chaos & distraction. Maybe it was all a Russian counter intelligence plot to get ears into the SCIF. How can we know for sure?
