Republicans Storm Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility.

Quote:

On Wednesday, Republican lawmakers committed a major breach of security guidelines when they carried cell phones as they tried to force their way into a secure room where a closed-door impeachment hearing with a Defense Department official was taking place. At least one House member, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, got inside the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the House of Representatives. Despite strict rules barring all electronics inside such closed-off areas, Gaetz openly tweeted: "BREAKING: I led over 30 of my colleagues into the SCIF where Adam Schiff is holding secret impeachment depositions. Still inside—more details to come."

As someone who thought Hillary deserved some time on the rack for her handling of classified materials, I am absolutely outraged at the behavior of these congresspeople. The thought of even accidentally taking a phone in a SCIF puts a knot in my stomache because of the consequences attached. Tweeting in a SCIF is simply beyond the pale. These draconian laws only apply to the little people I guess.
