But their stunts won’t keep the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth from coming out.

The Republicans’ STUNT comes after Trump called on the GOP to ‘get tough’ on the inquiry.

According to people familiar with the matter, some GOP lawmakers brought their cell phones into the secure area — a significant violation of House rules. Another person said the room had to be fully swept for potential security breaches, and Democrats said the Republicans compromised national security by bringing electronics into a secure area.

Republicans said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) was threatening GOP lawmakers with ethics violations. Schiff was also consulting with the House’s sergeant at arms, while Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper — who appeared for her deposition Wednesday morning — was still waiting to testify behind closed doors.

But Senate Majority Whip John Thune acknowledged the picture being reported is “not a good one.”

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, bashed House Democrats for not making public the testimony of William Taylor, which rocked the GOP argument that the president did not engage in a quid pro quo with the Ukrainian government. But Thune also conceded on Wednesday that the first round of details could be damaging after Taylor, the U.S. envoy to Ukraine, testified that Trump refused to release military aid and hold a White House meeting with the Ukrainian president unless he probed Trump’s political opponents.

“The picture coming out of it based on the reporting we’ve seen is, yeah, I would say it’s not a good one,” Thune told reporters. “But I would say also, until we have a process that allows for everybody to see this with full transparency, it’s pretty hard to come to hard and fast conclusions.” – Politico
