If that is correct, Skybird's comparison is baseless.

I quote again:
Quote:
The inquiry is led by a Democrat - Adam Schiff - and being run by the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees.
However, more than 40 Republicans are members of those committees, and permitted to take part in the hearings.
Democrats have argued that it is common for the initial stages of a congressional investigation to be conducted behind closed doors, and say private hearings are needed at the start, to stop witnesses from coordinating their testimony.
"The special counsels in the Nixon and Clinton impeachments conducted their investigations in private and we must initially do the same," Mr Schiff wrote in a letter to colleagues.

Those storming Reps appeared short after the Lil' Boy slammed Republican party for not giving him the support he wanted to see, and called his followers to "getting tough".
The message was heared.
